2017 Chassange Montrachet Rouge Blind

All Flights tasted blind and no clues was given to any Region or vintage or grape variety.

Most got it wrong for the grape variety, vintage.

For the Burgundy whites, most got it correct that its from Puligny Montrachet.

• NV Jacques Selosse Champagne Exquise Sec 96 Points

  France, Champagne

  Pronounced nose with notes of yeasty, brioche, sweet biscuit, distinct white chocolate, tropical fruits. Sweet but well balanced by the high acidity. 24g of dosage which is considered as Sec than Demi Sec which require 32g min. As compared, Cristal is only 8g, so those who like Brut nature, or extra brut will not like this.

• 2007 Pierre Péters Champagne Grand Cru Cuvée Speciale Blanc de Blancs Les Chetillons 91 Points

  France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru

  I remember the last I tasted this, I give a high score of 97 6 months ago. And both from same source, unfortunately this bottle is more advanced and show sign of oxidation. Notes of bruised apple, nutty, barnyard. I thought it was a 1980s champagne when tasted blind. Hopefully able to revisit this bottle again.

• 2017 Domaine Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge 95 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet

  When tasted blind, this wine have caught my attention as it have notes of candied red fruits which initially I thought it was a Gamay or a young Southern Rhone wine. The nose is perfuming and aromatic. Medium finish, medium acidity and medium tannin. Tannin is fine. Drinking well now. Not sure if it will improve as I like the primary notes that the wine exhibit now.

  Tasted blind. Can guess easily that this is a Burgundy red with typical red fruits, red cherry and strawberry. Medium finish, medium acidity and medium tannin. Tannin is fine. Just entered drinking window. Will improve with ageing. Still youthful. Guess that its a village as I tasted it blind.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny

  Always find it consistent that for Vogue wine, regardless Grand cru to village, it need time to age and it will have to take a long time to reach its potential. Still youthful and it has not reach drinking window yet. Keep to improve. Guess that its a village as I tasted it blind.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet

  Tasted blind. Very pale in appearance. Nose is medium. Unlike its white, the red to me is average. I remember its white as opulent in nose compared to the white medium nose intensity. Notes of red fruits, red cherry and strawberry. Not sure if it will improve with ageing.

The WOTN for me is Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge for its perfuming and aromatic nose. Did not manage to collate the WOTN for majority.
