Les Charmes Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2021

Wine hit its stride about 2.5 hours into decant. Bright raspberry on the initial nose and then depth showed later. Really enjoyed this with a ramp pesto trofie pasta. — 8 months ago

Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2016

Dark cherries, blueberries and floral undertones. Medium bodied, supple, ripe and a lovely acidity. The cherries follow through to the end. — 4 years ago

Bourgogne Passetoutgrains 2017

Sometimes dismissed as Burgundy’s lowliest category, Passetoutgrains - which loosely translates to “all grapes allowed”- is a type of field blend made with at least one-third Pinot Noir and no more than two-thirds Gamay, traditionally planted and fermented together. In a territory prime for Pinot Noir, where this grape often reaches astronomical prices, however, Gamay is however gradually being pullet out, making Passetoutgrains an increasingly rare find. This juicy, quaffable blend is two-thirds Gamay from Gilly-les-Citeaux and one-third Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny. — 5 years ago

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2016

Nose has tart strawberry, ripe black cherry, blackberry, dried soil with peat and faint creamy oak notes.

Palate has ripe blackberry, ripe cherry, dried garden soil, thawed strawberries, light cedar influence, decent finish but we're underwhelmed overall. Maybe closing up now, revisit in 3-5Y, 2025-27.

Cork pulled, slow oxidation for 3H.

Solid pairing to toasted Israeli couscous, za'atar and lightly fried eggs from the backyard egg factory. For us, eggs are always a great pair to Bourgogne Rouge, they balance wonderfully.

(Also, for the record, no photo trickery on the food pic, our Australorp eggs are indeed that orange; Good diet equals good eggs.)

Those eggs look fabulous! I also now need to see what a thawed strawberry smells like...do mean the wine had a touch of freezer aroma?

@Ellen Clifford Previously frozen strawberries seem to have a dilute aroma. I buy fresh, then cut up and freeze for smoothies, my wife slightly microwaves them (and other fruit) before she puts them in the blender.

Heh, I have some strawberries in the freezer right now for smoothie needs! But I never have smelled them thawed...now think I may need to!

Lovely crisp yet not bitter. Want to say smooth if you can about champagne. I don’t know enough obviously but I am really enjoying this. — 6 years ago
