Last night & cranked it up to 15!
Wonderful and rare opportunity to taste so many 2015 Red Burgundy from the Cote de Nuits with the semi-retired 🤡🙏🏻
From the first wine to the last, the 2015s all showed their promise and potential over the next several decades. Some were a bit tight and shy while others were very pretty and seductive. Our first was Mugnier Les Amoureuses and it was a show stopper remaining one of my highlights of the night. Mugneret-Gibourg represented the most consistent set of wines all showing great and enjoyable now. Roumier Bonnes-Mares is burtsting with character and promise but was overall a bit tight. The Dujacs need time, very Dujac in personality and will require some patience but the overall mouthfeel and texture are very much something to look forward to. Rousseau CSJ was signing and the two Chambertin kept flip flopping personalities as they opened and evolved. DRC very much the domaines style and all wines true to their dna but GE last night smoked it.
Truly an exceptional tasting and rare opportunity but most importantly the kitchen nailed it! Bravo and thanks 🙏🏻
