The KCC Wine Society held its AGM followed by Sunday Brunch yesterday. Apart from the serious business of the AGM, the brunch which followed is an opportunity to showcase some of the Society's wine holdings. Occasionally there are forgotten bottles, like a 2005 Ardeche Chardonnay from Louis Latour which had gone well past its use by date and is maderised with caramel notes (No it did go with sweeter dishes or desserts either!)
One of the special wines this time was the 2015 vintage of the Hospice de Beaune 1er Cru of which the Club acquired by auction before (ie the 2011) ; they got together again and bought another barrel. We had both wines and it was interesting to compare the two vintages (that's for another entry). last year we had a red and white pair from Chateau Musar; this year we have a pair from Mas de Daumas Gassac! Is this the beginning of a tradition? If so, what can we have next year?
