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 …
540. Gonzales Byass, Palo Cortado Apostoles VORS, NV (2010)
Having been really impressed by this in Tenuta Cuatro tapas bar, I was really happy to be given a bottle by SJ as a …
537. Hidalgo La Gitana, Palo Cortado Viejo Hidalgo VORS, NV
Saw this on bin-end in Waitrose and thought ‘why not’? It took a while to open, but having done so, a great reward. Stylistically, …
536. Pierre Morey, Meursault 1er Cru Perrières, 1996

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 …
