Wines tasted at a recent dinner were from great Domaines and from good to great vintages but, sadly, some fell short of expectations.

SOME stunning names were lined up on the table at a recent dinner. Chateau Petrus 1978, Montrachet 1996, Bouchard Pere et Fils, Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru Les Amoureuses 2007, Robert Groffier, Ruchottes Chambertin 1999, Domaine Armand Rousseau, Krug Champagne 1996. It was a roll call of the greatest.
Krug Champagne Vintage 1996
A lovely champagne, light golden colour, very fresh aroma, lightly citrusy and fruity, lovely weight on the palate, perfect ripeness with wonderful freshness, and a long, lightly lingering closure. Could not be more perfect. For all its 20-year-old life, at its peak and holding very well; fully capable of another 20 years!
