CDT tasting

Tasted the following whites together. All decanted for a couple of hours:

• 2012 Domaine Latour-Giraud Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières Cuvée des Pierre 86 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

  Wine is out of balance - high on acid and low on fruit. Still enjoyable but was the weakest wine of the night. Ol’ Pierre didn’t add much on this night unfortunately . . .

• 2013 Domaine Latour-Giraud Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières 92 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

  Big wine - almost the opposite of the 2012. Tropical fruit, leaning towards pineapple. This was not affectation, however. It was a very balanced wine with acid in check and some nice mineral notes. Maybe even a little peaty. Distant flint notes.

• 2014 Bouchard Père et Fils Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières Domaine 93 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

  White WOTN. Huge nose of flint, mineral, petrol, pear and wood. Same on palate and such a long finish. Really enjoyed this wine. However, did seem to lose some of its steam over the drinking window (roughly an hour). With out this a solid 95, but 93 is probably fair.

• 2012 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 91 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

  Wait on this wine. It has potential but it’s not there yet. Opened it on Day 1 and it was very reserved. Completely outclassed by a 2009 Drouhin Gevrey-Chambertin village. Pumped half the bottle and tried again on Day 4. It had much more character, with significant notes of cloves, cinnamon, and cherry - but it clearly still needs time. I think the potential is 93+ but it’s at least 5 years out.
