Very enjoyable Wednesday Wine Committee lunch today with @Weston Eidson & @Colby Siratt hosting. Same format as always...1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine all tasted blind.

When compared to the other two whites, this had more obvious oak. Very light notes of sweet lemon cream, brioche, and sea salt. My favorite of the flight. I called this burgundy between mersault or chassagne-Montrachet.

No specific notes. Was drinking well and a great match with the meticulously prepared food.

January weeknight, came home to @Sashi Moorman making coq au vin and opening this wine. Like winning the lottery. La Boudriotte 1er cru.

I think I’m falling in love with white burgundy.

Very solid CM. Should age very well.

Classic French chard. Just a hint of butter, which I’ll overlook because the acidity is brilliant, and there are white flower and mineral accents that make this delicious.

Picking up weight in bottle. Give it a couple more years

Lemon curd, almonds, brioche. sea salt on the finish. Really nice with salmon and lobster risotto.
