La Paulée de SF Grand Tasting

Fairmont Hotel, SF CA
Tasted Saturday, March 3, 2018 by Nanda with 670 views

Introduction

A terrific opportunity to taste the heralded 2015 vintage. The reds most certainly delivered with a high quality, consistent showing.

The big boys delivered as expected.
- Arnoux-Lachaux, Hudelot-Noellat and Vogue were all top notch, as expected
- Fourrier was so tasty, but in a very ripe, singular style
- In whites, Bernard Moreau and PYCM were the standouts. (I inexplicably missed Lafon)

In the 'big' houses, Jadot, Faiveley and Pousse d'Or all were top notch.

I was also quite impressed with a handful of younger winemakers and re-emerging domaines:
- Y Clerget
- Heitz-Lochardet
- Genot-Boulanger
- George Noellat

Flight 1 (76 Notes)

Closing

Kudos to the team for organizing and pulling off a world class tasting.
