Burgundy lunch at San Shu Gong
Tasted Friday, January 7, 2022 by melvinyeowq with 139 views
Introduction
Burg lunch where all the wines showed very well, with three very different expressions of Chambolle. Terrific food as usual at SSG and first time trying the deep-fried sea cucumber which is going on to my must-order list from now on.
2001 Nicolas Potel Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Not a big fan of Potel's wines in general but this was a good showing. Cloudy appearance, some earth and Vosne characteristics on the nose and palate. Decent mature Burgundy that didn't have any fireworks but still was very pleasant, on the gentle downslope.

2008 Domaine Bertheau (Pierre et François) Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
The most Chambolle of Chambolles. Bricking in colour, it had a lovely floral bouquet and the palate had the light touch and high-toned fruit of Bertheau. The acid of 2008 was present but wasn't too distracting because of the elegance of the wine.

2009 Patrice Rion Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Drinking so youthfully that this could have been easily mistaken for a 2015. The wine had a new-world feel to it, some even said it could pass off as a Syrah. Sappy red fruit, more muscular tannins for a Chambolle compared to the Bertheau before, still needs more time to round out the edges but very good potential.

2012 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Very pretty nose, some measured use of oak with mocha and cassis notes. Dark but elegant fruits, somewhere between red and blue fruits and a good length on the finish. Still very primary in its development.

2008 François Parent Pommard 1er Cru Les Épenots
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
Similarly bricking in colour to the Bertheau 08. The wine was a little rustic but still elegant that made me think of CdN incorrectly. Was thinking MSD with the blue fruits or Gevrey with meatiness, but someone managed to guess Pommard impressively. This producer gets a bad rep for oak use but it was well-integrated here.

2001 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel
Germany, Nahe
From 375ml and this did have a gold capsule. Slightly honeyed nose with an advanced colour, but on the palate it was still fresh with apricot fruit and healthy acidity. A little heavier than I would have liked though.
