And I am so very tired. I am so tired. Is everybody else tired?? Who would have thought kids would be so much work hey!
No-one was to know this but we all know Puligny-Montrachet is sexy as! In particular Domaine Gérard Chavy 1er Cru Les Champs-Gains 2002. Who was to know that this Chardonnay was to be golden yellow with a straw hue. Who was to know that this wine was waxy on the nose and quite developed with a rich, floral beat about it. The thing is though, in the end this wine was everything it should have been in the mouth – fat up front with great oak marriage, long in the acid hit with that ever so lovely hit of liquorice at the end.
Beautiful balance, length and complexity with about as much weight as you would want from white Burgundy. Though 2002 was better for reds, it is Chardonnay that is showing more with age I think.
