Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • NV Serge Mathieu Champagne Tradition Pur Pinot - Blanc de Noirs Brut 90 Points

    France, Champagne

    Silky, lovely depth of fruit, smooth and fresh, fishy Pinot flavour, good length.

  • 2007 François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos 97 Points

    France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru

    Absolutely beautiful, unfathomable minerally depths, but also so floral it might be a Riesling, lovely citrus fruit, lemon peel, the gentlest warmth from the wood, deceptively light, ever so charming, intense yet incredibly refined, gains weight with oxygen, excellent length, the merest hint of vanilla. Transcendent beauty, drink now or 2017 - 2037, but I do not think that it will close down completely.

  • 2006 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cuvée Duvault-Blochet 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru

    Subtle, stylish, lovely red fruit, depth, some spiciness from the stalks, red earth, Asian spice, floral touch, very precise, surprisingly forward, no great concentration but nice weight, lovely hint of sweetness, fresh, transparent and precise, satiny, elegant finely-grained tannins, very good length, roses, lovely nuance, hint of Asian spice. Perfectly delicious. Now - 2026.
