Chassagne Montrachet 2007 "Les Baudines" by Lequin - Colin

Its been quite a lovely spring time lately, with warm sunny weather and beautiful sunshine. With the sun heating up the house indoor temperatures reached Provence levels and a nice cool white was required to enjoy a perfect day. Lequin-Colin has quite a selection and now the "Les Baudines" from Chassagne Montrachet was tried.

Medium pale yellow colour with a perfect nose of lime, minerals and butter was just perfect! Quite fresh in the mouth with a fruity dry quite long lingering acidic finish. Also good overtones of minerals on the taste as well. Gentle and subtle stuff that is easy to continue drinking if it was not for the fact that the bottle actually was empty after a while. Hmmm.

Chassagne Montrachet 2007 "Les Baudines", Lequin-Colin", 25 to 40€, yummy elegant dry white for glorious days!

Leoville Lascases 1988

Last week was a special week for me as I received my last pay check from my previous employer. An event that required some sort of celebration with some good friends. Of the many bottles opened during that evening was a Leoville Lascases 1988. This Bordeaux wine from St. Julien is second Grand cru classee but it has the quality of a first growth. This chateau was also the wine that made me change from beer to wine as I had the pleasure of tasting a Leoville Lascases 1945 back in 88. The 1945 just knocked me off my guard and I remember thinking what a fantastic wine it was and what an experience to drink this wine from the year when world war 2 ended. I was in shock and I then just decided to enter into the world of wine. I have always had a soft spot for this chateau ever since. And to my pleasure it has been performing well at much more reasonable prices than the much more expensive first growths in the 1855 classification. Nowadays a bottle of this wine costs around ...

Wine # 2 Blindtasting Ganddal

Deep dark purple colour. Dark berries, cherries and mint chocolate. Full bodied with soft tannins. Reminds me of an Amarone.. A very nice wine indeed. Panel is way out as it is from the Rhone valley. Gigondas 2009 by Guigal Score 17.60 Ca 20€ or 220 NOK

Ogier Chateauneuf du Pape 2010

This is a quite reasonable Chateauneuf du Pape (ca 200 NOK or 15€). The colour is medium ruby color which was a bit surprising. Nose of ripe black cherries and liquerice with a medium + body and finish with firm tannins. The wine can be drunk now but has definitely the potential for ageing (5-10 years). Chateauneuf du Pape 2010, Ogier Bring out the steak!

Life is too short to drink bad wine
