Burgundy, Day 4 (Beaune, France): From the west-facing side in a zone called "le terre froid". This is the coolest part of Corton-Charlemagne. It used to be a disadvantage, but with climate change it's less so. Sappy white fruit, with a distinct note of pears. Very good mineral-driven concentration, with a little bit of more exotic fruits and herbs on the palate. Clearly shows the right weight for the vineyard.

La Paulée de Los Angeles Gala Dinner (The Fairmont - Santa Monica CA): Small glass. Magnum from the domaine. Rich and powerful, this goes on and on into a glorious, while firm, finish.
