WTN: Muscadet and Pommard

Saturday broiled flounder with a ponzu glaze, bok choy and mushrooms, udon noodles
2010 Pepiere Clisson Muscadet
After a lovely ‘10 Briords earlier this year, wanted to try this, and was happy with result.
Granny smith and grapefruit, bountiful but easy acids, seashells and a flinty minerality on finish. Long and lovely. A-

Sunday morcilla, leftover mushroom risotto, spinach
2008 Bernard Boisson-Vadot Pommard
Not a producer I have a lot of experience with, and what I do is all white. Unsure how this got in the cellar. Perfectly acceptable red Burg, moderate acids, light tannins, red and black cherry with a little underlay of mushroom. OK length. Went fine with dinner, lighter and less masculine than I’d usually expect from fairly young Pommard, more like a Bourgogne rouge (but a good one). B

No wine Monday with linguine and clams

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.

The 2010 Clisson sounds lovely. I am still sitting on a fair bit of. 2012 and 2013. The 2012 is in great shape. The 2013 is bottle to bottle.

That '10 Clisson does sound lovely. We can never keep our hands off of them long enough to give them that sort of age. We're now down to the '15 and '20.
