This just happened…a night that will forever be engrained on my palate. There were too many good bottles so I won’t even list all of them, but you can see my selection at the last pic.

Jayer – Cros Parantoux 1991

This is the stuff they tell you about, the mythological wines, the drops of god, and I was lucky enough to get a taste. The wine was alive and still kicking in the glass, elegancy was the key here, still showing a succulent fruit in the nose and palate, this wine despite being od age delivered like crazy. Would I spend the money that this is worth, hell no, is it a great wine, hell yes!

Domaine D’Auvenay – Bourgogne Aligote 2017

Damn, reduction at an t’a best, what a lovely nose this had, and with time the reduction lifted away and you were left with a bramborium of different fruits and still a little hint of flintstone, on the palate everlasting and kept on going forever in the aftertaste. This is their “base” level, and it blew away the other whites in the tasting by far.

DRC – Echezeaux 2018

Wow! Just WOW! I’ve kept this glass from around 9pm to midnight, man this did not dissapoint, the evolution while in the glass was out of this world. Spiciness from the soil was immediately recognized and a true indicator how important soil/terroir is in wine. Truly amazing!

Liger Belair – Nuits Saint Georges Aux Cras 2015

With all the heavy hitters, you would imagine that they would steal the show, but the Comte had other ideas. I’ve never had a reduction as perfect as this, the nose was just screaming:”sip me, sip me”, and when I finally could get a sip it left me enchanted and I wanted to drink more. This was just a bombshell. Nose A++ Fruit A+ Drinkability A++ my Wine of the Night!

As you can see, we’ve also added some other bottles as well, but I didt want to write a whole essay. if somebody sees something that they would like to have tasting notes, feel free to reach out.

    Damm il cry myself to sleep tonight, I guess. In all seriousness, what a lineup absolute bucket list wines.

    That Aligoté sounds heavenly. What kind of value would you give it, though, since most of the time I see it, it’s around €2500 at least. Its still on my list of need to try once. According to one Redditor, it can never be worth €60 because Aligoté is a flawed grape. 😉
