Burgundy Wine Dinner Review

We tasted a series of wines at a leading restaurant in Hong Kong which had a specially prepared dinner and Burgundy wine pairing menu. We thought we would give this a try. While it is certainly worthy of discussing in detail the pairing itself  - especially as the food was outstanding, we opted to stick with the wine reviews themselves. Here we go:

2006 Henry Boillot Puligny Montrachet 1er cru La Mouchere monopole. Citrus with  strong mineral on the nose. Very impressive. A lovely finish and mineral deep gold yellow and slight honey best wine of the night without doubt. 18/20

2004 Chandon de Briailles Corton Grand Cru. Deep cloudy yellow. Closed with no strong view nor impression either way mild and unexpressive finish slightly flat. 13/20

2008 Michel Niellon Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru Les Vergers. Lovely nose of exotic tropical fruit and passionfruit. Excellent. Deep yellow. Lovely finish. 16/20.

Chandon de Briailles 2007 Corton Grand Cru Clos du Roi. Beautiful perfumed rose like nose followed by cherry and red fruit. Deep red in colour. This has power and was exceptional were my first impressions. It did have a weak finish however the minerality and earthiness was certainly felt. Mid finish excellent nevertheless. 16/20.

2007 Pascal Lachaux Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras. Great floral rose nose followed by wet earth and minerality. Long red fruit finish. 16/20
