Burgundy Paulée with the Chevaliers du Tastevin

This was a Paulée of the Albany-Capital Region chapter of La Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. Thus, everyone brought their own wines, nominally one bottle per person. The host for this dinner was Jared Shulman.

Since this was a Paulée, there were no organized flights. I've grouped the wines in relation to the food courses. As far as I know, all the wines were pop and pour unless otherwise stated.

Photos and more details can be found on my website.

  This was gorgeous. Big rich nose of dried red fruits. Thick, complex with mature tannins. Quite Barolo-esque. Others thought it might be corked, but I did not detect that at all.

  [Double-decanted around 4pm. Tasted around 8pm.] Cork saturated. A big mess under the capsule. Did not smell good on decanting. By 8pm it blossomed into a beautiful wine. Muted nose of black fruits and spice. Fully mature but showing beautifully with lots of lovely red fruit and forest floor.
