2009 Côte de Beaune

 


2009 Faiveley Pommard Les Rugiens

2009 Domaine R & P Bouley Volnay Champans

Honestly, if these had been served blind,  I would have mixed up these wines. 

The Les Rugiens was more approachable (but had been slow o'd for hours). The Champans was splash decanted and aerated only an hour. 

The early favorite was the Les Rugiens but the Champans became more attractive as the dinner progressed showing a bit more food friendly acidity...
