Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 2, 2018 - Rare are those moments in service that urge me to immediately retreat to a dark room and do blitz-research on a liquid that just blew me away. Luckily, this always happens when the restaurant is in cruise mode. So why Le Grappin? Named “one of the top 10 unsung Burgundy producers”, Andrew Nielsen (chief winemaker) is one of THOSE people – those people that quit their mind-numbing advertising job to become one with Gaia, i.e. to produce fantastic Pinot Noir in Cote de Beaune. His whole philosophy – hand-picking, manual bottling, ledger paper labels and the absence of capsules – digs deeper than just “try the wine, sell the wine”. It employs a no-bullshit approach to create purity of unfathomable measures. The Boucherottes offers luscious notes of dried cranberry, mocha, ripe strawberry, wet wood, barnyard and hints of Mediterranean herbs. Grippy structure, with a savoury ending that lasts and lasts. Acidity on point, alcohol on point, everything on point. Un vrai délice!
