Introduction
Wonderful meal at Blanc Paris. I have been following chef Shinichi Sato since his Passage 53 days, but unfortunately I never managed to book a table since it was tiny and I couldn't afforded it as a student anyway. Glad to have finally experienced his food and I really liked how the boundaries were pushed and how the flavours blended French and Asian influences. Not everything worked perfectly but I appreciated the willingness to take risks and try something different. Overall, I particularly enjoyed the seafood dishes which were definitely the highlights for me along with the strawberry and canele ice cream desserts.
2023 Lamy-Caillat Saint-Aubin en l'Ebaupin 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin
Off the list at Blanc Paris. Some reduction on the nose to begin with as usual with this producer. Old-school in style with plenty of dry extract and weight but supported by piercing acidity. Rounder than the Chassagnes but not lacking in complexity by comparison. A fantastic Saint-Aubin - I found that both this and the Bourgogne deliver the same house style as the Chassagnes at a fraction of the price. I wish there were more Burgundy whites made in this style today.
