• what’s best for christmas lunch?

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  I continue my search for the best wine combination for the Christmas-day feast.I’ve tried (over and over) older, medium, young red burgundies, but never found a good combination – it’s that combination of salt, sweet, stuffing, sprouts etc., etc.. This year I tried a magnum of Foillard’s 2006 Morgon Côte du ...

  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  2006 Faiveley, Nuits St.Georges 1er cru Pôrets St.GeorgesI’d love to be able to recommend this wine (after all I bought some!) but today is not the day to tell you if it is, or will be, any good. Today it is a complete waste of money – aromatically dumb, narrow on the palate [...] 2006 faiveley nuits st.georges ...

  In August of this year I sat down to dinner at a restaurant called Max@iHaus to celebrate my friend, Reiko’s birthday and I must say that it is was one of the best meals I ever had.  It was a night of excellent food, great conversation and friendship; we shared laughter, tears and joy in one meal and it was ...

• 2006 gérard mugneret vosne-romanée 1er les suchots

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  2006 Gérard Mugneret, Vosne-Romanée 1er Les SuchotsMedium-plus colour. Straight away the nose is about depth, dark fruit and a little coffee/mineral mix and an impressive Vosne-style dimension – a great start. In the mouth for the first 20 minutes I can’t drink it, it tastes like salt – no, really like salt! ...

• david clark 2005 bourgogne au pelson

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  2005 David Clark, Bourgogne Au PelsonFrom vines between Morey and Chambolle, but on the ‘wrong’ side of the Route Nationale 74. Deep colour. The nose is a brooding affair with faint spice and herb top-notes and a tight concentration of fruit below, eventually a faint milk-chocolate note surfaces. In the [...] ...

• 2006 gaston et pierre ravaut ladoix les carrières

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  2006 Gaston et Pierre Ravaut, Ladoix Les CarrièresMedium, medium-plus colour. The nose soars with beautiful raspberry and blackberry notes – it’s a peach – or maybe that’s confusing! There is some sweetness of fruit, nice texture and a significant length, but to be honest after a number of successful ...

• 2004 mischief & mayhem gevrey-chambertin 1er crazy love

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  With a few (very) good contacts, M&M were able to fashion this blend of two iconic Gevrey 1ers – if you buy some wine from them, they might tell you what’s in the bottle – they probably won’t tell you who they got if from though!2004 Mischief & Mayhem, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er, Crazy LoveMedium colour. ...

  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  Do you think this (empty) bottle is worth something because of the miss-printed label? Me Neither!With the exception of a Chambolle that seemed a little too sweet, I have to say that I’ve been impressed by the 03 Lachaux range; they never really closed, and whilst externally they do offer a slightly facile if [...] ...

• françois legros nuits st.georges 1er les perrières

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  Give how I abused this bottle, this is rather an impressive showing – and from a producer I hadn’t heard of. The bottle was pulled from the shelves of Caves Madeleine restaurant in Beaune. The small-ish glasses in the restaurant and lack of time for the wine to open up gave only an [...] françois legros nuits ...

• 1998 robert arnoux vosne-romanée

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  1998 Robert Arnoux, Vosne-RomanéeThe last bottle of this was very good, and only drunk around two years ago, this bottle is not to the same standard. This one has a little volatility – slight cola – and some meaty aromas. The acidity is slightly lifted and there’s still just a hint of [...] 1998 robert ...

• two from domaine du chalet pouilly

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  Here’s a relatively unusual occurrence; somebody actually sent me some wine to review! I’m in an awkward place to send wine to – as I found out from my ‘friendly’ customs and excise bill – €40 for 2 ‘free’ bottles – ie more than the cost of buying the bottles! Anyway, I thought [...] two from ...

• 2004 antonin guyon meursault 1er charmes dessus

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  Not even the faintest trace of ‘vintage character’. I still don’t drink that many bottles from this producer, but I’ve been very happy with those that do get to meet my corkscrew…2004 Antonin Guyon, Meursault 1er Charmes DessusAlready a medium golden colour – but that seems to come from the oak. Plenty ...

• two 97s…

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  Visitors at home on Sunday, and given that I already had some bottles ready for opening and two were from an ‘easier’ vintage to taste – 1997 – I went that route.First, Pavolet’s Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Les Dominodes . Warm, inviting, now starting to develop some chocolate flavours and aromas, no awkward ...

• Oscillate Wildly, Newtown

  
  eatshowandtell — Authority: 119
  This post is a bit behind-the-times, as we had this dinner in late September, but better now than never – right? (Also, I totally adored this dinner, even if the photos doesn’t quite reflect how amazing it was, and I really wanted to blog about it). Last time I was here , I was with Minh and the menu was a la ...

• 2007 long-depaquit chablis 1er les vaillons

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  2007 Long-Depaquit, Chablis 1er Les VaillonsPale greeny-yellow. The nose is a faint biscuit with a wider white blossom impression above, and is edged with a just enough citrus bite – just over the hour mark, the traditional salty impression of the sea-shore begins to poke through. Smooth, mineral acidity, slightly ...

• fourrier 2001 chambolle-musigny

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  This wine was gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous on release. I would go as far as to say, that until the 2005 vintage it was easily one of the tastiest villages wines I’ve ever had the good fortune to buy. It wasn’t, however, all plain-sailing for my selection of 2001 Fourriers; my first Petits Vougeots [...] ...

• nice wine – now i feel so bad…

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  Yesterday evening I opened the first from a 12-pack of this wine, it had two specific attributes that contributed to my purchase of a full case; first it was a decently priced bourgogne from the 05 vintage which I could use as a bellwether to judge maturation of the vintage, but second, and a much [...] nice wine – ...

• 2006 seigneurs de bligny gevrey 1er clos du chapitre

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  My first Clos du Chapitre, bought from the shop of the co-op Cave des Hautes Côtes just south of the Beaune periphique for €26.99. Seigneurs de Bligny is a brand/label of the ‘Caves’. This wine, in theory, is a monopole but there’s no such designation on the label – I asked someone at [...] 2006 ...

• 2004 jadot volnay 1er clos des chênes

  
  Burgundy-Report's 'Big Red Diary' — Authority: 128
  2004 Jadot, Volnay 1er Clos des ChênesMedium, medium-pale colour. The nose was largely absent for the first few minutes, only a slightly dense impression. Slowly it opens, eventually delivering wide, high-toned perfume that is clearly edged with the 2004 character – but here it’s character, rather than the ...
