WTN: Tell me of your home world Ursules

[David M. Bueker]

1997 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules
My friend Spencer sourced a case of this wine recently, and I traded for a bottle. I should have bought some for myself. I'm not generally a fan of 1997 Red Burgundy, but this has red fruit, earth, spice and even a little bit of backbone (so many '97s are too flat). There's not much in the way of tannin, but the acidity keeps the wine lively, and it drinks very well with food (med-rare, fairly lean steak). It also held up quite well overnight in the refrigerated bottle.

Wonder if the wine on Caladan was any good.

Probably a bit watery.

Dry farming adds a spicy element on Arrakis.

Probably a note of Melange too. Are the wines blue? I expect they are very, very long lived.

But is their future clouded?

It is by will alone I set my wine in motion.

No. Through thousands of years of breeding, Rakian viticulture produced a vine with the knowledge of all the wines that were or ever will be produced.
