Château Le Coin

Louis Roederer

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2002

As stately as I expected it to be (can one really expect anything less of a wine as legendary as Cristal in one of Champagne's most celebrated vintages?) glinting pale gold, the color of a freshly-minted coin. The 2002 Champagne Cristal Brut Millésimé is imbued with soaring notes of pear and smoke, brioche and chalk. Disgorged in 2009, this is a precise wine—it has a sort of crystalline weightless density, with fruit buoyed by a fine mousse, and edgy saline-tinged minerality emerging at the close. 10 grams dosage.

"You must be as precise as a Swiss watchmaker, I tell my team," our host, M. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Chef de Caves at Roederer stressed. Precision in spades.

Faded fruit and lot of acid on the back end. A bit of an assault at first. I wouldn't call it a "joy", but it was good

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2001

This was ok. Not great. Nose was pleasing but palate was meh. We had with steak and grilled veggies, so it's not like the food didn't give it a fair shake. Coin toss as if to more time or the vintage. My gut says vintage and drink up, but I am just a simple minded middle aged American. Do what you will. Xo — 9 years ago

1976: Solid in every way. Derived from the classic period, before anyone had known to coin the term classic period e with regard to California wine. Great length, and pleasing at each stage. Would love to experience again. — 10 years ago

Yep, it was $7 back in the day! Equivalent to $150 in today's coin. Incredible intensity, a bit maderasied, plenty of depth & lingering Yumminess. Beautiful poise & texture. Massive vacuum sucked in air as I punctured the cork. — 11 years ago

La Boudriotte Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay

Paul Kaan
9.0

The Day is Hot🌞 & the #FilthyGoodVino is Cold❄️ Blain-Gagnard Chassagne La Boudriotte on the Bench! Fresher and tighter than some for a Chassagne-Montrachet. Still generous, just settling into it's skin as a 2012. Yummy, would like to see some more layering of both texture and complexity. EDIT: Opened with time and warmth & the layers of flavour came through, but, not the texture, the oak is an edge coarse. Kinda had more fun with @francodanna's Siberia for half the coin. #BeingAPickyBastard #Chardonnay #Wine — 9 years ago
