Hi All
I am organising a tasting in a few weeks titled "A world of Pinot Noir" I have assembled 2 Oz Pinots, 1 from the Yarra Valley & 1 from the Mornington Peninsula, a Kiwi Pinot & 1 from Oregon. I am very happy with all these wines but as the glaring hole in my wine knowledge is Europe, I am struggling to choose a good Burgundy. I am really after something typical of the region, that a Francophile would identify as Burgundian on first sniff, something that will help demonstrate to the tasters the differences between New & Old World Pinots (the tasting is paid for and largely for educational purposes, mostly intermediates with a couple of know it alls thrown in). I've had a couple of wines recommended to me from a merchant (who has been reasonably helpful in the past and is helping to organise a guest speaker)and I'd like to know if anybody has tasted either these particular wines or other vintages. Also any recommendations for wines that you think might be available here in Oz would also be great. My budget for the event is around $80 - $90 Oz. The recommended wines are - Clavelier Vosne Roman=E9e "Hautes Maizi=E8res" 2002. $79.90 Clavelier Vosne Roman=E9e "La Combe Br=FBl=E9e" 2002. $86.90 Jean Grivot Vosne Roman=E9e "Les Bossi=E8res" 2001. $86.90 Jean Grivot Nuits St. Georges "Les Lavi=E8res" 2001. $71.90 The other wines I am using are - 2003 Coldstream Hills Pinot Noir - Yarra Valley $20 2001 Winbirra Vineyards Pinot Noir - Mornington Peninsula $25 2001 Argyle Reserve Pinot Noir - Willamette Valley, Oregon USA $50 2002 Ata Rangi Pinot Noir - Martinborough, New Zealand $70 I will post notes after the tasting. Thanks in advance Cheers Andrew |
