Dinner at restaurant Alchemist
Copenhagen
Tasted September 2, 2020 by Kim Gerner with 59 views
Introduction
50 courses. How many wines? We ended up with 5. The courses were so different and extreme, so no matter what, the wines could not interact perfectly with all the courses. And after all we decided not to go after 50 wines...
Flight 1 (5 notes)
White - Sparkling
2009 André Jacquart Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Millésimé Expérience Le Mesnil
94 points
Outstanding wine with lots of bread dough and yeast. Toast and nutty (tertiary oxidative notes). 94+
White
2017 Bodega Chacra Chardonnay
90 points
Lots of minerality, tight expression, high acidity and delicate nose and palate. Very Chablis like. I personally prefer the style from Puligny and Meursault with a little more expressive (but not too much) body, MLF and yeast notes. At first the style is unexpected because the wine is heavily inspired by Roulot who is actually from Meursault. However knowing Roulot you know that his wines are not typical Meursault as he is responsible for some of the most crispy, clean, and mineral wines you can get. I do not fully understand WA's 94+ rating. An excellent wine but not outstanding. My comments and rating might be influenced by the very special food we had at the restaurant.
