Domaine Bruno Clair
Clos du Fonteny Monopole Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Elegant, like Lignier's Chaffots, but less tense and more round. Kai reckons it's due to some premature development (due to less than ideal storage), which I agreed. For a 15', the fruit should have been livelier, especially from this producer. Still delightful. Bouquet of dried strawberries, black cherries, cedar, and earth. The palate has a inner sweetness. Intense minerality permeates the mid-palate. Finishes with candied orange and earthy notes. Shorter, compared to the Lignier. Definitely the weaker pino of the night, but that might not have been the case if we had a perfect bottle 😉

Dark berry fruit. Great dark brown spice notes. Lots of length.
