First business trip of the year is in the books and Burgundy was the main attraction. We enjoyed some really good wines with clients across a few nights of dinner. The Sancerre was a pleasant surprise as well!
The 2021 Montille Puligny-Montrachet was easily the winner of the whites. It was crisp, floral, mineral driven. Everything you’re hoping for in a white Burgundy. Multiple bottles were ordered.
The 2022 Corton le Clos du Roi Grand Cru was the winner of the reds. A classic red Burgundy, medium bodied with a little spice. Really elegant wine.
The biggest disappointment was the 2008 Antinori Brunello di Montalcino. It had an interesting balsamic like note. One of the guest loves everything Italian and said it was excellent. Glad one person confirmed as I thought it may have been bad.
Note: (Restaurant pricing) annotted. Were a lot of these wines overpriced? Yes. But, welcome to dining in one of the most expensive/luxury cities in America.

I had the Antinori a year ago, it was 2016 and 2017 I believe. They were both great, even for Brunellos.
That being said, maybe my standards aren’t quite up to par here 😂

Hey that Mellot Sancerre pricing cannot be correct. Cool that it was 2010 tho, I’m a sucker for Sancerre with age. Sounds like a fun trip.
