Arlequin Wines, San Francisco
Tasted Thursday, August 27, 2015 by drwine2001 with 303 views
All of these bottles had been opened but not decanted about 2 hours before they were poured.
This was a pretty exciting flight overall. I have had precious little experience with the Gelin wines (none at the Grand Cru level) and found much to admire from the cross section of 4 vintages. As a group, the wines perfectly displayed the attributes of Gevrey Grand Crus-earthiness, subtle fruit, fine aromatics, and elegance rather than weightiness. The fact that I did not notice a significant amount of oak in any of these wines was an additional bonus.
2002 Domaine Dujac Morey St. Denis Blanc
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis
Medium yellow. Pristine stone fruit and some more tropical elements. Medium to full bodied. Fresh peach in the mouth with wonderful amplitude, roundness, and balancing acidity. Pretty astounding for a 13 year old Cote de Nuits village white.
