Flight 1 - Cote de Beaune (3 Notes)

  • 2010 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru

    Golden hued.
    Earthy and honeyed nose.
    Nutty, yeasty palate with very good fruit.
    Creamy but not cloying.
    A wonderful finish that was just so long.
    Just amazing.
    Best white burg I have had so far. This is going to be my white burg epiphany.
    Look forward to more from this producer.
    Perfect to drink now and I suspect will keep for long time to come.
    May I suggest white truffle as a pairing.
    £191.

  • 2021 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet

    Tough act to follow following 2010 Moreau La Matroie Chassagne.
    Its youth is apparent.
    Fresher and more floral. More mineral like matchstick on the nose.
    Rich ripe and sweet fruit. Very clean.
    Better with some air. Probably could have decanted.
    Very lucky to have had the opportunity to taste this courtesy of Boon Fong's generosity.
    £258.

  • 2019 Domaine Roulot Bourgogne Blanc

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc

    Not very giving on the nose.
    Creamier and rounder than Leflaive and Moreau.
    More melon than apple.
    Although a mere Bourgogne Blanc I think this showed good qualities.
    £89.

Closing

Wonderful bottles which has further my understanding of white burgundies. These three bottles showcased the nuances of terroir and producer with all wines having their own merits.
