A great night to drink some beautiful wines. I was very impressed with the Harmand Geoffroy, his entire lineup is really stunning from the 2010 vintage! I popped a bottle for a few clients and everyone loved the wine. Of course any day you get to drink anything from the Harlan family is a good day and those Remoissenet wines are so much fun to drink!
1995 Harlan Maiden – These 90’s Maidens have been showing very well! The 95 had beautiful fruit that was still ripe and pungent sitting on top of a layer of cooking spice and a hint of pipe tobacco.
2010 Harmand Geoffroy Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux st Jacques – I am a huge fan of this wine! While it is still young this wine struts its stuff in the glass showing both red and black fruits that sing of ripeness. There is also a steady note of earthy minerality that you typically have to wait a few years to extract from the wine. The acidity zings the palate and promised a long life ahead of this bottle. I am excited to see what this wine looks like in another 5-10 years.
1989 Remoissenet Musigny – Standard bottle of Remoissenet. I feel like I am starting to get spoiled by this wine and how ridiculously consistent it is. Every single time you can expect a wonderful bottle that has no signs of oxidization and is youthful in its fruit and tannins. Red cherry with light floral notes and a hint of clove and granite.
