A little Coravin tasting of some Burgundies (and a random Beaujolais)
Yum yum here - lovely to see these evolving over time
Interesting bracket of reds...
Usual enjoyment ensued as I went through these like a hot knife through butter...nom nom nom
2017 Domaine Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent
France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
From Coravin. Aromas of a little butter, green apple, lemon, steely minerality, smidge of sulphur. on the palate there is medium plus intensity acidity, a little texture to the mid palate lends apple skin bitterness to the finish, otherwise similar flavours to the nose but slightly greener. Hmm.

2009 Marquis de Laguiche (Joseph Drouhin) Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
From Coravin. Stone fruit with a citrus underpin, a little butter, honey, sweet spice; nutmeg especially. medium plus intensity acidity, the honey is more evident on the palate, fresh stone fruit, long, buttery on the finish. the gift that keeps giving. glorious

2001 Rapet Père et Fils Corton-Charlemagne
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
From Coravin. All butter and honey on the nose initially backed by a little sweet spice that gets dustier with time in the glass. Juicy, fleshy, buttery, honey, a little mushroom/umami note is not off-putting but adds depth, long balanced, pretty much all tertiary now but not dead by any stretch of the imagination.
