Troquet, Boston
Tasted Tuesday, May 10, 2005 by Topper with 1,022 views
Seven of us gathered at Troquet for a no holds barred grand cru burgundy (and a couple of others) dinner. Each brought at least one wine and we supplemented this with a couple from Chris' extraordinary wine list. Frankly there were too many wines in too many flights so that by the end there was serious palate fatigue. The dinner also showed the mercurial character of red burgundy with a couple of the greatest wines we had ever tasted and several clunkers. Here's how it went.
A winner and a loser
1990 Gosset Champagne Célebris 89 Points
France, Champagne
To celebrate Matt's new baby, he brought this bubbly. Not too dark, not overly big. A pleasant champagne with yeasty, toasty notes but some astringency and a spare amount of bubbles. THere's probably better value out there but this was a pleasant start to the evening.
