Marsannay 2007

In search for cheaper versions of Burgundy reds two different Marsannay were bought. "Les Favierees" and "Clos du Roy" both created by Charles Audoin.
Both beautiful light red colour with purple rim and a nice pinot noir nose with raspberries, touch of flowers and some oak. So far so good.
In the mouth quite silky and elegant, but unfortunately it all stops there due to an acidity that makes you wonder why you are drinking this. Trying to match the the acidity with different food did not help either, it broke through time after time.
With a bottle costing around 20 to 40€ it would be much better to spend some few more kroners or € and buy something from around Beaune instead of this appelation just south of Dijon.

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 ...

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!
