Venne brought a vintage cuvée of Nicolas Feuillatte to celebrate his wedding to come. The 1996 was a real soft and complex liquid, worthy to be drunk at this occasion.
The Saint Aubin Colin morey Le Banc (white, again Venne' s choice) also got positive reactions of the winelurkin' company. High acid driven wine with complex aroma' s of flint (silex) and ripe fruit. 90/100 A bargain at 17€. Pieropan La Rocca 2006 (Soave-veneto) is a wine I got from my blogfriend Rob, who is a huge Licatafan. La Rocca is their topcuvée and it is indeed a very tasty and complex wine. The Garganega grape gives a full bodied wine with enough subtility to enjoy the abundant flavors of ananas and peaches. A sweet aftertaste and 90/100. Thx again, Rob!
KK brought us a white Chateauneuf, Clos des papes 2006. It was the first time I drunk this in white, and it was not at all a disappointment. Vincent thought it could be a topchardonnay but this blend is made of marsanne, roussanne , viognier and some other grapes. Incredibly long in the mouth and beautifully balanced with just a little touch of alcohol in the finish. Although, this wine had a complexity and minerality that blew us away. 93/100
