Tasting in Burgundy Continued
Posted On October 12, 2009 at 5:36 pm in Burgundy
We spent the afternoon of tasting with Jean-Francois Maestre of Domaine Michelot and Martin Prieur of Domaine Jacques Prieur. Martin Prieur joined us for the night’s festivities in Vosne-Romanée where we had rented a small farmhouse for the weekend.
An outdoor fireplace / grill was fired up and gathered in the enclosed courtyard to enjoy an impressive selection of wines to pair with our meal. We raided the cellars of our host who graciously provided a selection of vintage champagne along with Burgundies from throughout the Cote d’Or. We started with dried sausage them moved into grilled andouillette (tripe sausage) – something that I can’t bring myself to enjoy even grilled and even with strong mustard. It’s pungent smell and flavors are just too much. The entrée was Cote de beouf. A cheese course finished the dinner. The highlight of the evening was a 1998 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Romanée- Saint-Vivant that was earthy, pungent …, fantastic.
