2011 Domaine Francois Lamarche Clos Vougeot
4/20/2024 - M.Y. Chong Likes this wine:
Wines in Cardiff; 4/19/2024-4/20/2024: 2nd time and better this time.
Fresh nose of cherries and sous bois. Exotic spice really showing tonight giving it an edge over the 2013 Jadot Clos Saint Jacques.
All elements in balance but a gripe I have of this weekend's reds is the lack of fruit concentration.
TWS - £95

2013 Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Domaine Louis Jadot
4/20/2024 - M.Y. Chong Likes this wine:
Wines in Cardiff; 4/19/2024-4/20/2024: Nose of cherries - but not singing. I wanted a bit more nose from this fabled vineyard.
Good fruit framed by chalky tannins for pinot and big structure. The structure slightly overpowering initially.
Became a lot better with air but by the time I discovered this we only had little left in the bottle!
From Bo’s cellar.

2017 Kumeu River Chardonnay Maté's Vineyard
4/20/2024 - M.Y. Chong Likes this wine:
Wines in Cardiff; 4/19/2024-4/20/2024: Light yellow with a slightly less desirable green tinge.
Appley and floral nose. Fresh.
Bags of fruit tempered by high but balanced. Tastes very young and primary.
Blind I could mistake this for Puligny.
Unfortunate for this Kumeu we had this side by side with 2011 Gagnard Chassagne Montrachet Les Caillerets which was singing.
I think Kumeu’s estate chardonnay gave me more enjoyment at more than half the price.
My 2022 Mate’s will sit in the cellar for at least 10 years.
L&W - £53
