N.V. Pierre Péters Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Cuvée de Réserve

Charming nose with many of the qualities of a trop drawer îles Flottantes, some lemon zest too. Palate is crisp, with green apples, some subtle white flowers and gorgeous touch of bitterness on the finish. Guessed 5 or 6g dosage, 5 it was.

Flight 2 - Crab Cake, Bitter Leaves and Orange Salad, Brown Crab Sauce (1 note)
White
2009 Louis Jadot Montrachet
96 points
Amazing nose. Screams top, top white Burgundy. Could sniff it for hours. Lime oil, a couple of ppm of passionfruit coulis, a couple of Stroopwafel crumbs. Such pedigree. Palate very youthful for its age but one senses it would be brilliant for many years to come. I don't drink enough Montrachet to be able to place it in the pantheon but this was one of the finest white wines I have tasted. Mine and the table's wine of the night
Flight 3 - Wild Mushroom Fettuccini, Cep Foam (2 notes)
Red
2011 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot

Smoky rose hip and sliced plums. A couple of ppm of bitumen and some carved ham. Palate also has a nod to Nebbiolo. With air some bresaola emerges, some Christmas spice hints too and delicate red fruits.

Bright redcurrants on the nose with some marrons glacées as well as something high-toned, Ian thinks nail polish remover I know what he means, this element has a lemony streak as well. It is most noticeable on pouring and fades into the background somewhat. There are also some roasting juices with time. Palate is crisp, red fruited and pleasantly acidic. Great food wine. Prefer this of the two Ursules.
Flight 4 - Venison Wellington (2 notes)

Initially some Eau de Cologne on the nose, this fades to a degree there's some marzipan and a hint of dulce de leche sweetness alongside some lovely red fruits. Palate has red currants and some sour cherries. Good acidity. My 3rd favourite wine of the night.
Flight 5 - Cheese (2 notes)

1967 Louis Jadot Corton-Pougets Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot

Mahogany in appearance as one would expect, this wine starts with something a little Balsamic on the nose with some mushrooms and lovely tertiary forest floor qualities. Nice and savoury. It opens out in the glass over the first 10 minutes some noticed it fading over time but whilst in my glass it held on pretty well. The table's 3rd favourite wine of the night and a treat to try such a cracking mature Pinot.

94 points
So much going on here, darker fruits than some of the other wines we've tried. There's some charred banana leaf, some blueberries and a couple of ppm of Quink ink. Palate is cool fruited, slightly spicy and with a hint of white flowers. So complete. My and the table's second favourite wine of the night.
Flight 6 - Cheese (1 note)

1998 Château La Tour Blanche Sauternes

Intense quince paste character some sliced ripe apricot and a little passion fruit. Great length with a lovely line of acidity to counter the honeyed core with some grated lime zest notes. With air some marzipan touches too.
Closing
Bar one horribly corked Grand Echezeaux, the wines showed well. Mathieu and the team in the kitchen did a great job
