• 2020 Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux Meursault

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

  Bright with citrus honeysuckle and oak notes, still young but a real hit and great quality. Probably not the most interesting of the whites but the best with the meal.

• 2010 Domaine Dublère Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chenevottes

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru

  Deep straw colour, very resolved, perhaps more than you'd expect. Lots of autumn notes, reminds me of my garden atm. But depth and complexity

• 2008 Domaine Darviot-Perrin Meursault Clos de la Velle

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

  deep straw colour. An aged white which is still held together by lovely acidity. For me the weakest of the three whites. Lovely to have these older Meursaults, but this needs drinking.

• 2011 La Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru

  youngest of this flight of Volnay and tastes it. Lots of fruit and complexity but more to come I think.

• 1983 Prosper Maufoux Volnay 1er Cru Les Chevrets

  Old wine, stewed fruit, cloudy . The prune note holds some interest and nice to try it at its end.

  A lovely burgundy. Deep fruited and resolved, long finish. An acidic note runs through the wine. Today just behind the other two in this flight

• 1999 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos des Porrets St. Georges

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

  complex and dark fruited, the tannic structure is still there making it great with the venison. Seems to open as meal progressed. Quite a statement. Just behind the Chambertin today. Robust but lovely.

• 1999 Domaine / Maison Vincent Girardin Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

  A reserve wine generously opened.
  A lifted nose, long palette, so different to the Gouges, softer more giving, red fruited and still some oak. A
  very good wine which was I’d like to have more time with.
