Thanks to Tiong Kiat, Albert and gang for organising this wondeful wine dinner at the China Club. A venue with a spectacular views and exquisite decor. And this was Burgundy night! With carefully selected wines from the Burgundy region of France, and wines purchased from wine culture, this was set to be a mind-blowing night of Pinot noirs. It was tough to look for the images of the wine labels on the net, hence, only one is attached here. I shall take the images myself and post it up.
This was my first foray into such a wide selection of Burgundy wines, the nose is distinctively more crisp and fresh than Bordeaux. The following Burgundys are all very approachable, with hidden tannins and almost non-existant lengths, leaving me with little to note about. Burgundys known to be more complex than Bordeaux and we'll see.
The first wine tasted, was the Vosne-Romanee Domaine Robert Arnoux, 1ER Grand Cru Aux Reignots 2004. The nose was light and crisp at first, with woody tones and sour-plum notes.
The second wine was the Chambolle-Musignx by Pascal Lachaux, 1Er Grand Cru Leammoreuses 2003. Nose of fig and chery.
The third wine was again from Vosne-Romanee, Les Brulees 2009. The nose was 'big'. Hints of rust at the end of the nose.
The fourth wine was from Vosne-Romanee, Beaux Mont 2004. A rare wine with crispy and ripen fruit nose. Christophe Perrot- Minot. VV.
The fifth wine was from the same as the first wine, from Aux Reignots. This is from the 1999 vintage. Nose with hints of mushroom.
