545. Château Labouré-Roi, Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouches Chères, 2005
Got told off for noting this one at dinner with SJ, AM and Chris. Anyway, reasonably happy to have done so as it was …
543. Vincent Dancer, Meursault Les Corbins, 2006
The first of my case of different Meursaults from the wine shop in Meursault village. Shows the quality of the 2006 vintage for white …
542. Sylvain Dussort, Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée des Ormes, 2006
A freebie after spending €400+ with Dad at the wine shop in Meursault. This is apparently from the border of I think Puligny-Montrachet, and …
536. Pierre Morey, Meursault 1er Cru Perrières, 1996
A birthday present for SJ, since she likes Meursault so much! A bit of a risk to try a late ‘90s white Burgundy, but …

This was an excellent recommendation from JR.com for an en primeur white Burgundy in a great vintage. A very nice, classic Southern Burgundian Chardonnay …
528. Champagne Georges Vesselle, Juline Bouzy Grand Cru, NV (2010)
Bought from the producer with Katy, but drunk & enjoyed with SJ. A really good, quite profound Champagne, whose weight and complexity grew over …
527. Joseph Drouhin, Beaune Clos des Mouches, 2002
One of the potential highlights of my WSET prize case, but sadly for its vintage, it wasn’t showing at its best, I suspect, because …
517. Christophe Cordier, Pouilly-Fuissé Terroirs Rares, 2006
SJ and I opened this with dinner, as it was most likely to be the best from an odd mixed case of ready-to-drink (or …
