Extracted from a thread just posted in Wine Talk: Another fine wine dinner in Amsterdam wirth 2010 Fournois Cote Extra Brut, 2014 Morgat Savennieres, 2 Spatburgunder, 1957 Clos Labarde, 1992 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23, 2005 Lynch Bages
2010 DOMAINE LES MONTE FOURNOIS COTE VERTUS EXTRA BRUT 1er Cru- bottled June 23, 2021, disgorged in October 2023 and dosed at 3.4 gpl; this 100% Chardonnay had a straw yellow color and initially offered aromas that suggested power and complexity which was confirmed once tasted; it evolved and expanded over the evening starting out more with citrus notes and moving on with mineral and chalky yellow apple, tangerine, apricot and bruised fruit which is probably due to its extended time on the lees stated to be about 10 years; it was super creamy and had some body adding weight to the mouthfeel; it most definitely served to prepare our palates for all to follow.
Cheers,
