Saturday I was home alone, except for the dog and some flounder filet. I did the fish in a quasi-meuniere style, along with braised escarole and some storebought cheese tortellini. In a recent cellar shuffle I had discovered a forgotten bottle of 1989 Bernard Boisson-Vadot Meursault. This was part of a $60 "probably OTH" case, which had been about half drinkable (the 3 bottles of '94 Boillot Puligny alone were easily worth $20 each, so I ended up ok). Even without opening the color looked bad, nice cork, but the contents looked like tea and smelled like cheap sherry. Down the drain. Totally undrinkable.
Due to the color and age, I had brought up a backup, so the 2002 JM Brocard "Montmains" Chablis 1er was ready to go. And ready to go it was, a very tasty medium-bodied Chablis. Clean pure pear fruit with a little green apple, quite ripe but there is a nice backbone of acidity. Good length, nice finish, some notes of wet stones and new blossoms. But fruit still dominates (nicely). I quite enjoy, wish I had more. B+/A-
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
