Another outstanding LT-organized dinner
LT Chambolle dinner at La Voile
Just lovely nose of grapefruit, and maybe hawthorn. Lovely chalky minerality, acidity and structure that lasted through a long finish.

Enjoyed the previous bottle more, even though the charming apricot and lychee flavors were still there, they were marred by unmistakable corked nose.

Not a producer I'd heard of but one I'll be keeping an eye out for. A generous wine - accessible nose of baked apple and some oak. Delicious flintiness and structure. Not a demanding wine.

Full nose of damp leaves at the bottom of the bramble patch, with some violets. Cranberries and strawberries with a lovely earthiness. An approachable wine.

The intensity starting to ramp up at this point in the flight. Macerated strawberries and some bright acidity and chalky minerality in nice tension.

Full nose of ripe cherries. More cherries and dried cranberries on the palate with some incisive but delicate acidity. Long finish, in balance.
ND commented that it's more reminiscent of its immediate neighbor to the east Morey St Denis

Darker, smokier nose. Darker fruit, too on the palate: plums. Spicier then the other wines in the flight: anise and cinnamon. Long, mesmerizing finish. Someone commented that this was more Vosne than Chambolle - JG disagreed: it's part of the range of Chambolle flavors.

Reticent nose. Generally a more delicate set of Chambolle flavors. More floral, violets. The rasperry and strawberry was there but subtle, not bursting out of the glass. Generally a delicate wine that charmed with its finesse not its intensity. Typical Barthod, commented JG.

Full nose of, well, boiled cabbage and fruit. Intense fruit, almost strawberry mousse. Long and balanced. Just a terrific wine.

What a fascinating wine. A nose of bamboo and black tea leaves. More smokey, dried twine, but with rich plummy fruit, and floral elements (rose petals?) and generous tannins. Brought to mind the combination of rose/tar of a Nebbiolo.

Much as I love this producer this wine suffered by comparison with the flight. Vegetal nose, with that satisfying compost bin scent. Jolly red fruit and a strong core of tannins that come out in a jumble rather than in harmony. Hard to not like despite itself.

Lovely nose of spices like anise and a smoky element. Quite tight still (still!) and a lot of acidity. But there was fruit for sure and more anise.

Big bowl of strawberries and raspberries. Cherry liqueur in tension with bright acidity. Delicious balance and a long finish.

Stormer of a wine. Incredibly complex nose: leaf-pile, cocoa, vanilla and some hawthorn. Strawberry preserves, cinnamon and tobacco. Swirling mouthful of flavors that lasted and lasted.

Full nose of musk and compost. Red currants, vanilla and anise. Remarkable intensity, fresh youthful acidity for a wine of this age. Did fade fast in the glass though.

Brief note: Surprising winner of the flight for me - croissants and caramel nose, rich palate of toffee, apricots sand lychee. Discorged 2007 and still bright acidity and fresh fruit.
