Introduction
Annual weekend with 4 friends. Lunch at the Librije, brilliant wine list which is very fairly priced for a three star restaurant
Flight 1 (9 notes)
White - Sparkling
N.V. Ulysse Collin Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut (2016) Les Roises
93 points
[Restaurant Purchase] No detailed nose. My second bottle of Ulysse Collin (the other being the Jardin d’Ulysse ‘16) and my expectations were higher than this bottle delivered. Very well balanced, orange peel, white peach, chalky minerality, fresh croissants. Long finish

2016 Weingut Keller Hubacker Riesling Großes Gewächs
94 points
[Restaurant Purchase] No detailed notes. This showed beautifully; Generous, ripe while so linear with great acidity

2018 Sadie Family Chenin Blanc Skurfberg
92 points
[Restaurant Purchase] No detailed notes. Took a good 10-15min to open up in the glass, but was beautiful then. Pretty ‘big’ chenin expression but the acidity really caries the ripeness. Lovely

2018 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin Le Banc Blanc
92 points
[Restaurant Purchase] No detailed notes. This had the typical PYCM signature with lovely reduction and gentle oak touch. The fruit had more stuffing than I expected for this village, although the difference with his Chenevottes is significant. Crowd pleaser

2018 Jean-François Ganevat Côtes du Jura Les Varrons Vieilles Vignes
92 points
[Restaurant purchase] No detailed note. Needed 15 min in carafe to open up. Felt like a combination of both reduction and oxidation. Quite ripe, but with piercing acidity

[Restaurant purchase] As it was the last bottle of the lunch with quite some bottles, there was enjoyment about this bottle, but little attention
