Flight 1 - Visit 1 (6 Notes)

  • 2018 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle-Musigny

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny

    (11/13/2019)

    (Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé - Chambolle-Musigny) Barrel tasting with François Millet.

    First wine tasted during this trip, and the deep ruby colour immediately gave an impression of this hot vintage. A nose of blackcurrant, purple flower, oak and sour plum, following by good freshness and phenolic ripeness on the palate with slightly bittersweet medium-weight flavours. 88+

    (11/13/2019)

  • 1999 Emmanuel Rouget Echezeaux

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru

    (11/13/2019)

    (21 Boulevard - Beaune) from a batch bought from FWEC. Lovely spice, red fruits and unfortunately a whiff of soy sauce. Great intensity and well integrated tannins. I feel something's off with this bottle, and Guillaume thinks so too. Still a flamboyant wine.
