Burgundy Wine Dinner @Harvey Nichols ( part 2 )

 

Thank you so much for Ming Ng, the Sommelier of Harvey Nichols in providing the following tasting notes !

 

 Alfred Gratien Cuvee Brut Champagne

Fine & persistent mousse, fruity and toasted aromas,

very well balanced.

 

Bourgogne Blanc, Domain Leroy 1997

Aged chardonnay style, very intense and elegant.

Aromas with a touch of lime, apple, blue cheese cantaloupe

and a little toasted light acidity. Medium-bodied.

 

Chambolle Musigny, A.-F. Gros 2003

Round, smooth, a brilliant red color.

Aromas of raspberries and wild violets.

Light to medium-bodied.

I think 2003 need to be kept 3 – 5 years.

 

Vosne Romanee Premier Cru - Gros Frere & Soeur 2004

Very aromatic, full-bodied with sweet spice on nose,

ripe fruity aromas, vanilla and oak hints complemented with

vanilla & clove hints & tobacco.

 

Clos de Vougeot de “Musigni” Grand Cru - Gros Frere & Soeur 2004

Full-bodied, elegant with black truffle, black pepper & red berry aromas

and flavors.  Well- balanced.

 

Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru - Gros Frere & Soeur 2004

Wonderful wine, young but elegant touch a little star anise,

ripe fruit, game, rose & black cherry aromas.

Keep, keep & keep.
