Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 12, 2009 - Just a shade darker than the Dauvissat, but still on the pale side. While it shared many of the vineyard characteristics, it was less citrusy, less fruity in general, and more lactic and creamy. This hardly gives the wine its due since it was a shimmering chameleon that provided constantly changing aspects during the time it was open. What is had over the Dauvissat in texture was mitigated by lower acidity that was ultimately less thrilling than in that wine. Nice development of floral tones and a bit of truffle. Having tried 3 of the Raveneau '00 Premier Crus within the past half year, I would place this somewhere between the Montee de Tonnerre and the Monts Mains, probably closer in quality to the former than the latter, which is to say terrific Premier Cru effort.
