BURGUNDY CLUB
Tuesday, Oct 27th 6:00PM
This month is a vertical tasting: three vintages of the same w**e, from the same small walled vineyard, made by the same producer. Same soil, same vines. The only variables are weather and time. 2005 and 2010, are considered among the best Burgundy vintages of the last 100 years. We’ll also be drinking the 2017.
PRICING: The cost per share depends on how many of us are in:
- 25 people: $60 per share
- 20 people: $75 per share
1. Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune Clos de la Mousse 2017 (two 750ml bottles)
A generous, open, sunny vintage. Ripe red fruit and soft edges. The baseline for how this vineyard tastes in its youth at just 9 years old.
2. Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune Clos de la Mousse 2010 (one 750ml bottle)
A small-crop, classic vintage prized for its precision and bright acidity. At 16 years old, it should be trading some fruit for earth, spice, and forest floor.
3. Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune Clos de la Mousse 2005 (1.5L magnum)
Critics who spent decades measuring every new vintage against the legendary 1978 finally found one that beat it, with comparisons reaching back to 1959. It was great nearly everywhere, from village w**es to Grand Crus. Twenty-one years in, and from a magnum, we find out whether patience pays off.
