  92 Butteaux v 92 Montee du Tonnerre Montee du Tonnerre
  
  Unfortunately the Butteaux was corked and was replaced by a 1992 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne.
  
  The MdT was thankfully in proper shape. Barely mid yellow color with a nose showing citrus and tropical fruit notes with hints of chalk. The palate showed similarly, the fruit here is yellower and sweeter and lacks the crispness and acidity than I normally associate with Raveneau having more in common with the Mersaults in the next flight. 1992 was not a great Raveneau year IMO

  Fatigué… première sensation de bois sec, de dissocié, bien qu’il soit salin et long derrière; des notes de beurre frais fugaces sont apparues, avant qu’il ne retombe, avec un coté oxy et décharné. Dommage (ah nous étions tout si excités à l’ouverture!)

  Butter, caramel, burnt sugar and cake. Drank like a good aged batard as the terroir’s minerality has all mellowed down. Very good length. The richness and ripeness reflected the vintage very well. 92-93

  France: 38 Wines from Kermit Lynch (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Soft, mild, and slightly funky aromas. Rich and heavy body on the palate, which is smooth, soft, and pretty mild, showing some funky old lemon notes. Overall, quite lean and mild. Lean again on the finish, with decent acidity driving tart notions, but really not too much depth here.
