Brisbane Book Club

Time to use up all my ingredients- biodynamic butter, awesome market mushrooms, ox heart tomatoes, viscous old balsamic& real parmigano reggiono that we bought in italy.

Roumier chambolle musigny 2008
Is a high toned classic edgy pinot with floral notes- 08 is the pick over 07&09
But the real hero here is the bread of ideas- I first had this two years ago and he is making the best bread in Paris- many decent restaurants in Paris have his bread.
Memory tells me he lamented the mediocre quality of Parisian bread ( he was not a baker by trade) and decided to go back to real levain bread.

Roumier 92
The bread 96
Poillane 92
Jambon 95

Local supermarket has this for 1/4 of the price in Australia

Starting a glass now 7pm local time…
Tight and reserved
Decanted and this cork has locked this critter down – Burghound says drink 2019+
incredible intensity and brulee like power of fruit some drying oak- seriously with time this would be an epic wine ….

96-97

Now on to clearing out the stache

G.Roumier Chambolle Musigny 2009
Deep ripe chambolle- my 2nd try on the trip- not overripe- not gevrey like- maintains the deft purity-oak is a cameo- we had pea risotto made with stock we made in Paris 3 days ago- and cheese parmiagano we bought over from Lecco markets in Northern Italy- pastille mineral fruit
I cant get enough Roumier…
Dont try for another 2-3 years as tannins evolve over the evening
90-91

G.Roumier chambolle musigny 2007
I just dont get how he gets such clarity and mineral action in a village wine- my first thought was Francois at Vogue talking about peering into a waterfall-
Drink now for me- a recent 2001 was spiritual
90-91

Jean Louis Dutraive fleurie
Chapelle des bois 2011
Fresh off the gamay choo choo train – young 1ery not high acid compared to 2010- juicy generous like 2009- but it is ok- leave 12 months – drink in spades
89-91

Etienne Sauzet puligny montrachet 2007
Oyster mineral clarity- length- that improves with time
90

Louis Jadot les Fuees 2001
Bizarre really- my favourite vintage and France is flush with them in supermarkets- across the range in reds- minerals to burn with bright fruit and acid- drink now and be chuffed
40euros
90

Jean Foillard Morgon Cote du Py 2010
Geez- 20 euros- we get taxed big time in Australia- my 3rd bottle of the trip- fruit driven with fruit tannin- expressive fun wine
My best bottle of the trip
92

Domaine Trapet pere & fils gevrey chambertin 2008
I am not a gevreyiste- BUT- it is the maker- gravelly minerally tannins- ripe but poised and structered- how great to have a village wine that is structered ….
Thus far we have tried a chapelle and a couple of chambertin gc and they are expressive brilliant wine
89-90

I like wine- ok I like genuine simple unadulterated wine- less pumping & technology for me the better ( I have even had a recent release from Sami-Odi from Barossa and thought it was good)…
I have been buying bits and pieces from the same cave for a week and with time wines emerge

Jean louis Dutraive Cuvee Vielles Vignes terrior champagne Domaine de la Grand’Cour Fleurie 2010

Unfiltered subtle roast nuts like a great chateau neuf but the mouth is fruit tannin intermingled with earthy beetrooty genuine fruit & fruit tannins coat the mouth, the wine grows in the glass- find it,try it and smile- my caviste told me gamay is the next great thing and I shuddered as that is a shame as it is not the style of a next great wine – it is a wine of life and pleasure the absence of monetry & collector advantage.

I am learning wine generally tastes better the closer you drink it to its origin…

Pio Cesare dolcetto d’Alba 2010
I have a theory – if stuck order a PC- acid& tight squeaky clean fruit – classic Margherita in Lecco Northern Italy
Brilliant wine acid cuts the food
89

Prunotto Occhetti nebiollo d’Alba 2009
Light colour drying tannin after acid – better 6 hrs later- cheapie at Obika in Milan with mozzarella tasting platter

Claude Dugat gevrey chambertin 2009
Deep masculine muscular ripe gevrey – dark fruits- serious oak grip- if you own this open it in 2020
89-90

M Lapiere morgon 2010
This guy has been on my radar – young primary- a more filtered style- more squeaky clean- good fruit but tight even with decant & time- leave for 6-12 months
