This was a great surprise at a tasting - served blind. Still quite fresh on the palate with quite a vibrant fruit, and a lovely mature nose. Does not offer a lot of complexity, and is not a big or a large scaled wine, but a very nice smaller mature Burgundy - NOT!. Two friends from Domaines in …

Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Grands Echezeaux 2002

Philippe Pacalet Pommard 2007
Very nice Pommard from Pacalet, and a very fresh 2007. Very accomodating and open, lots of pure pinot fruit in the typical organic style. Must say I enjoy the Pacalet wines, and this Pommard was no exeption. I my opinion the style of Pacalet and other organic producers is a perfect match for the …
