Bourgogne Burgundy in English

2001 Premier Cru Les Dominode

Grape: Pinot Noir. The only wine of this tasting that was a little disappointing, although it was in no way defective. I just expected a bit more complexity, but on the nose as well as in the mouth it had a linear, pure but straight-forward cherry-kirsch in that gentle Savigny-les-Beaune style. There was plenty of good acid, so perhaps it will continue to develop over the next few days or years. The acid probably helped it with food-pairing as well. Perhaps it was simply overshadowed by some very well-endowed peers today. $33 at Wine Club (2005-08-05)

Billaud-Simon Chablis

2002 Cuvee Tete d'Or - chardonnay. Quite rich, balanced, just enough oak to give some complexity, wonderful nose of peach and mineral, plenty of body. (2005-12-16)
