TN: 2001 Drouhin Chambolle

Last night Betsy made panko crusted pork cutlets , roasted cauliflower, quinoa and salad, , wine was my last bottle of the 2001 Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny. I’ve really enjoyed this over the years, and last night was no exception. Pretty wine, pure cherry fruit with a little overlay of sour cherry, some earth and cedar. Resolved tannin, tangy acids, nice length. Pretty much what you could ask for in mature village Chambolle. A-/B+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. 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.

Still have fond memories of the bottle of that you opened when Laura and I stopped by.

Yes, but your fond memory is probably just a way of blocking out the fact I made you drink Sauvignon Blanc as well (Pur Sang I think).

Yes, but you picked one of two Sauvignons that I actually like.
