Two of many high points from yesterday’s Keller-Raveneau extravaganza

Can’t wait to revisit these Keller wines in twenty years!

Terrific dinner in Beaune with @kellerdalsheim @moselfinewines and @fkahirsch with 17 G-Max, Pettenthal Auction GG, 76 Poulet Puligny, 61 Morey Meursault Perrieres, 1950 Fleurie, 15 Leroy Vosne Genaivrières and a trio of 55s - Bel Air Marquis d’Aligre and Chanson’s Amoureuses and Suchots!

Unreconstructed Blanc de Blancs from Saint-Chamant. Champagne as if time had stopped around 1960. Rich, nutty and complex bouquet but tensile and incisive on the palate, only a few grams dosage. Wish I had known how singular these wines are sooner.

A very charming 100% Pinot Meunier from a producer hitherto unknown to me!

Had a great time last week presenting a masterclass on “What is Meursault?” for VinFeber 2019 with @moestue - a terrific event with many superb growers! Oslo is a lot of fun too.
