Flight 1 (1 Note)

  • NV Bérêche et Fils Champagne Reflet d'Antan

    France, Champagne

    Same bottle as Rupert's note. Full, muscular nose, hints of ginger. Very gentle, creamy mousse, orange and spice, slightly powdery, chalky texture on the mid-palate and then a slightly oxidative orange and spice finish. Long and lovely. ****

  • 1986 P. Dubreuil-Fontaine Père & Fils Corton-Charlemagne

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

    Same bottle as Rupert's note. Mid yellow. Slightly cheesy but nicely mineral nose. Ripe and rounded, very intense on the finish. Developing nicely in the glass. ***1/2

  • 2004 Henri Boillot Corton-Charlemagne

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

    Same bottle as Rupert's note. Lime, mineral and a nice freshness on the nose, almost Chablis-like. Fuller with more weight on the palate, lovely cut and good line. This will be very proper. ***(*)

  • 1955 Gerin Meursault

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

    Served blind. Slightly more golden than the 86 Corton-C. Corky nose with tropical fruit underneath it. A touch of camphor. Mineral palate, decent weight but a bit of an oddity. The camphor / corkiness seems to dissipate after a while. Interesting. *1/2

  • 2006 Bachey-Legros Santenay Sous la Roche Blanc

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Santenay

    Same bottle as Rupert's note. Served blind. Pale yellow. Slightly floral nose. Seems young. Palate gives a sense of some RS. Lots up front but it drops off a bit. Pleasant. Just about ***
