There was a PWC dinner the other day, featuring mainly Burgundy 1er Cru wine. Of the 10 wine, three were not Burgundy Premier Cru - first the welcoming Champagne; I could have tried to dig out a Cremant de Bourgogne, but then that still would not be 1er Cru. There was a white and a red from de Villaine and neither of them were 1er Cru. The Bouzeron was as always interesting and quite an eye-opener for many as was the Cote Challonais le Digoine, which I had blogged about some time ago. This was as much an introduction to the lesser known wine from de Villaine (the better known ones are from his half share of DRC).
I covered a lot of different villages in Burgundy with this tasting, but had to change from Chambolle-Musigny les Amoureuses to a Volnay Santenot because I had misplaced the former and could not locate it in time for the dinner.The latter however was an organic wine from an organic/biodynamic specialist. Others include Pommard Grand Clos des Epenots, Morey-St-Denis Clos Sorbe, Beaune Greve, Gevrey-Chambertin Bel Air, Vosne-Romanee les Beaux Monts and Nuits-St-Georges les Pruliers. An enjoyable evening overall.
