Lots and lots of superb Burgundy from importer Frederick Wildman’s extensive portfolio of producers, 13 of whom were in town to promote their wines. This is a jovial crowd who enjoy their food as much as their wines, and La Grenouille efforts did not disappoint, eliciting sage nods of appreciation from this most discerning group.
Among my favorites: Moreau’s Le Clos Chablis 2009, the Morgon Côte du Py 2009, Chassagne-Montrachet Clos du Château de la Maltroye 2009, Gevrey-Chambertin La Combe aux Moines from Gallois, Humbert’s 2009 Poissenot Gevrey-Chambertin, the 2008 Clos de Vougeot from super-star Méo-Camuzet, and the stunning Clos de Bèze 2009 from Burguet.
The 2009’s are gorgeous wines, with many quite drinkable today though some, like the Vougeot, are still quite closed and will go on improving for two decades.
A memorable evening!
