Blind Tasting: Puligny - Chassagne - Meursault

Battle of the big 3: Puligny / Meursault / Chassagne

• 2008 Chartron et Trébuchet Puligny-Montrachet

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet

  Very lemony with a hint of oak and minerality.
  Austere. It lacks energy on the palate.
  Simple.
  Guessed Puligny.

• 2001 Coche-Dury Meursault 1er Cru Caillerets

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

  More powerful than the previous wine. Nutty and smoky with a hint of mango. Round, spicy and apple.
  While well made and with decent complexity, it lacks depth.
  Disappointing.
  I guessed Chassagne...

• 2000 Domaine Rémi Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Le Poruzot-Dessus

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

  Some exotic fruit on the nose (pineapple), pear and citrus. Nice grillé. Palate is a little soft and almost lactic.
  Not bad but quite straight forward. This specific bottle will not last very long.

• 2006 Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte

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

  Grillé noble with a hint of minerality. Well balanced. This is quite Meursault like in character.
  Round and orchard fruits. Powerful. The finish is not totally focused but this wine was my favorite of the tasting.
  Nice.

Interesting but disappointing at the same time. One premox Ramonet (what's new here), one corked Boillot and a huge let down with the Coche Dury Caillerets.
