Dinner at Frederikshøj**

Dinner at the outstanding two star restaurant Frederikshøj in Aarhus, Denmark. I profited from their fabulous wine cellar and had the the following wines, all wonderful, with th Chablis perhaps as my favourite. My notes are from memory and perhaps somewhat rudimentary:

• 2008 Diebolt-Vallois Champagne Fleur de Passion Brut

  France, Champagne

  Less impressive than I would have liked but still very good, a great aperitif.

• 2012 Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses

  France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru

  Magnum. I have had way too little mature grand cru Chablis I see from this one: what a beauty! Rich and restrained, texturally complex, sort of juicy and mature, round and sharp. A marvelous complex balanced wine.

• 2008 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc

  France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

  Oxidative and with lots of wood and also a perfect accompaniment for rich food. Very interesting.

• 1999 Domaine Tollot-Beaut Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Fournières

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru

  In impressive shape. At nearly a quarter of a century this was perfumed and complex and very much alive. Great pleasure.

• 1994 Trimbach Gewurztraminer Sélection de Grains Nobles

  France, Alsace

  Deep golden and very rich with so much botrytis as to mask even this normally unmistakeable variety. I remember it as more rich than sweet but some sugar there must have been. Great pleasure.
