Introduction

Difficult to know witch bottles to take when you only know that the chef, will prepare a mediterraneen Bonito, without details. I've took the bus with only two wines.

Flight 1 (4 Notes)

Huet Bourg 2012 sec
Bottles just arrived from the Estate, conditionned cooled, and straight to this diner. Nose obvious of chenin, with yellow lemon juice, lime blossom leaves. Mouth straight with finesse, salty, mouthwatering, mineral. Long and simple after taste, with those lime tree, and a bit of hay. Time will give soon new flavors. Exceptionnal, for a unfavourable vintage (desease).90-92

Corton Charlemagne 2009 Drouhin
Blind Tasting. Expressiv nose of vanilla, little underwood, greedy cream, butter, fresh brioche, Mouth powerfull of flavours, according to the nose, very seducing with new oak, enough acidity for the moment. Very wide, and long, Real silky texture. Short income; the oak is a bit dominating. Still excellent. I won't recommend to keep it two long. 92

Remoriquet NSG les damodes 2003
Mistreat in a bus, Decanted 20 min, bust served at 18'C. Very dark hue for a pinot, trouble with lots of tiny depots elements. Nose strange of old tobacco, mothballs, leather, old grave yard, dusty. Not much fruits. Mouth very dry, typical for this vintage. A bit emaciated, but complex and interesting. Sorry but this wine has been jostle by a non matching dish: bonito with fresh coriander.

ZH pinot Gris SGN trie speciale 2007
Blind tasted, served at 12'C. Impressiv texture, very very thick, almost like syrup. Ginger hue, like an twenty years old Sauternes. Nose explosing of apricot, vanilla, and pine apple jam from Bourbon island. And it is the palate witch transport you to the frontiers of what a wine can be :a spendid vivacity, carries the jammy elements outside of earth on a infinite line. How can only a grape juice make a nectar like this ? Oustanding. WOTYear. 97
