Flight 1 - Fizz (1 Note)

A D'Or to door recommendation and a good one. Fabulous quality, reasonable price.

Flight 2 - White Burgundy (2 Notes)

Two RP&F wines from a great vintage. The M P has previously been less impressive, as if picked a little late. This bottle showed better than all previous, so time is doing its thing. The CM Morgeot is simply gorgeous, if a little on the wild side.

  • 2014 Remoissenet Père et Fils Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

    Bright medium depth gold colour. Aromas of ripe nectarine, almost peachy fruit, nuts and spicy oak. A fleshy palate showing ripe stone fruits with a creamy mouthfeel lifted by a strong citrus acid line. The wine finishes with a veil of honeycomb oak. Very much a RP&F wine that took some time to come together in the glass 18

  • 2014 Remoissenet Père et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru

    Lustrous, deep lemony gold colour. Mandarin peel, citrus oil, orchard fruits and spicy oak mingle and make for a complex aroma. Rich yellow stone fruits, tangy citrus and a hint of coconut flavour the palate which is opulent but kept in check by sufficient acidity. The finish is long with a well integrated spicy oak overlay. An exotic and delicious wine that some may find a little overpowering, I love it 19.

Flight 3 - Red Bordeaux (2 Notes)

Old School v New School

  • 1982 Château Calon-Ségur

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Estèphe

    Medium depth of a slightly faded red colour with some browning at the edge. The mature blackcurrant fruit aroma is enhanced with notes of earth, pencil shavings and iodine. The palate is full bodied and concentrated with a deep core of softening red fruit, dried herbs and cedary oak. It remains fresh and long with the powdery tannins adding firmness and structure to the finish 18.75

  • 2009 Château Haut-Bailly

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    A deep and densely hued ruby colour. Aromas of blackcurrant, mulberries, tobacco leaf and a whiff of graphite. Full bodied, balanced and with great intensity it washes the palate with spicy dark fruits, mint, tobacco and fresh dug earth flavours. The finish is long, rich and firm with the graphite showing again within the generous tannins. Ripe, contemporary yet retaining its underlying Graves personality 19.

Flight 4 - Sweet Bordeaux (2 Notes)

A wine style that does not get the love it deserves, now that sugar is a dirty word. From this pair, not a lot of Botrytis around in 2010. And this bottle of Suduiraut was the colour of a "75, so perhaps not typical.

  • 2010 Château Doisy-Daëne

    France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Barsac

    375ml- Light bright gold colour. Fresh and zesty aromas of pineapple, papaya and light botrytis spice. A refined palate, gently sweet, creamy but not cloying and with a light touch of orange marmalade all supported racy acidity. A very fresh and lightly structured wine showing minimal botrytis influence 18

  • 2010 Château Suduiraut

    France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes

    375ml- Deep old gold colour. A big hit of orange marmalade, spice, caramel and apricot on the nose. The palate reflects the nose, it’s very sweet, rich and spicy with notes of butterscotch, caramel and candied honey. An unctuous finish that would have benefitted from some of the Barsac’s racy acidity 17.75
