More earthy and minerally than the Nudant. Crisper and lighter in weight too. Some citrus tones, light apple. Bigger nose than the Nudant. I liked this and group did as well.
More subdued nose than the Javillier. Richer fruit, a little more weight and intensity. Tart, lemon, slight cream/malo finish. Good salinity. Liked this a lot and so did Ann.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Complex, rich but elegant, great acid, clearly good material her. Some oak though that reminds me of a Jadot Mersault I had earlier in the year. Is that a hallmark of Jadot whites? Some pear and honey. I'd love to try this in ten years.
More structured and savory than the Chamirey, great acid, ripe fruit. More of what I was expecting from the reds. Some spices, and more earthy after it was open for a while. Slight rubber, fine tannins. Enjoyed this.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Blueberry fruit with lots of structure. Big with some pine needle and blue fruit. Note sure how much whole cluster or stems were included but there is a slight green bean note. Clearly high quality material here and lots of fun to drink. We probably opened this ten years too soon but it was tasty and a great learning experience. Thanks to Holly and Tony for sharing.
