Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 28, 2009 - Very good showing for this wine, especially in a lineup of impressive Montrachet. Complex nose that changes substantially with air, showing notes of brine, mint, cinnamon, and honey. Finish was a bit shorter than the '99 Sauzet at first, but after an hour in the glass the Drouhin hit its stride. In the end, the Sauzet and Drouhin were equal in quality, albeit different style. The Drouhin was more of what I would expect in a Montrachet in the sense that it was a very complete wine - the "meal in a bottle." The Sauzet was austere by comparison, with off the charts minerality and terrific length, and quite impressive in its own right. Anyway, the Drouhin is just starting to drink well and will benefit from time in bottle; if you open now, plan to give it lots of air.
