  • 2009 Domaine Roulot Bourgogne Blanc 89 Points

    Pale straw. Slightly reticent on the nose. Medium bodied on the palate, more discreet than the Jobard, lemony, apple, just a touch of sesame, lean and racy with fresh acidity on the good length finish. Classy. 88-90.

Flight 3 - Reds - Flight 1 (3 Notes)

Beef Onglet Pastrami, Red Choucroute and Green Sauce

  • 2009 Domaine David Clark Bourgogne Au Pelson 83 Points

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

    Pale garnet. Fresh, pure red fruited nose, if a touch simple. Light/medium bodied, youthful, fresh strawberry fruit, touch of game, slight herbal edge. Moderately deep on the mid-palate, and falls away a touch on the short-medium length finish. Pretty, but insubstantial. 82-84.

  • 2009 Domaine Michel Lafarge Bourgogne 86 Points

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

    Pale garnet. Nose is quite closed, with an odd metallic edge that does dissipate slightly with time in glass. The palate is giving up more however, with black cherry fruit, quite serious depth, plenty of firm tannic backbone, a good length if slightly tight finish. In need of more time, but potentially very good 85-88.

Selection of South West France Cheeses

  • 2009 Domaine Jean Grivot Bourgogne 85 Points

    Medium ruby. Nose is slightly closed, showing dried red fruit and some notes of soil. Medium bodied on the palate, quite traditional Bourgogne leanish with slightly firm tannin, but not unattractive for it. 84-86.

    Youthful, rich, ripe red and blueberry fruit, vanilla. Medium/full bodied, generous, rich, almost layered fruit, bilberry, plum, vanilla, lovely mouth-watering, contrasting acidity, polished with soft tannins, and finishes with good length. Modern, fun and you can't help but like it.

Flight 5 - And to finish.. (1 Note)

  • 1988 Château Climens 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Barsac

    Notes fading by this stage but this was ver enjoyable. It had a mature, deep amber hue, and provided a nice contrast of rich, barley-sugar and stone fruit and attractive crisp acidity, topped off by a memorably long, orangey finish. Very good indeed.
