Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 16, 2011 - Burgundy 2011 Day 1: Visit to Domaine Vincent Dancer (Chassagne-Montrachet): This was incredibly good. If ever there was a case made for Perrieres to be elevated to a Grand Cru, this would be it. It had beautiful nose, pure Perrieres, with gentle white fruit scents layered with buttery cream, mushrooms – ceps perhaps – manuka honey and white flowers, all laced with a serious streak of stony mineral that just grew and grew in the glass. The palate was every bit as impressive. Melting acidity framed mouthcoating flavours of honey, white fruit, cream and more mushroomy notes – wild truffles this time. Lots of weight and concentration, but such was the pitch perfect balance on this that it appeared relaxed, almost effortless. The finish was long and creamy, but laced with a gentle freshness and serious, flinty minerality. This was a hugely impressive wine, and a real pleasure to sip. Brilliant, and its best years are still ahead of it.
