I have seen the name Mile de Noyer, but don’t know their wines. 2001 was not an easy vintage in Chablis, so congratulations to them.

Jasper, do you know Domaine Mile de Noyer? I have tasted 2001 Premier Cru LEs Lys, 2001 Vaillon and Cotes de Lechet: fantastic wines!!!!
May you have more info on those wines?

It was a fabulous tasting ! I remain convinced that 2005 is the best vintage of my working lifetime which means since 1979. In fact I dont know how much further back you would have to go to find its equal – maybe 1959 ?

We tasted blind, so I did not know that La Grand Rue was my top score until we unveiled, but it confirms a clear sense of progress at Domaine Lamarche in the last few years (their wines showing well at our equivalent 2003 and 2004 tastings).

There is a touch of oak showing at the moment (but why not for a great wine meant for the long term) but the barrel is completely dominated by a magical, vibrant, amazingly energetic fruit which swamps the palate. A brilliant, complete, young red Burgundy which you should not touch for 15 years!

I would love to hear more about this rather extraordinary tasting. In particular, since I have a bottle of the La Grande Rue, I would be very interested in your notes — since you gave it a perfect 20 — and your suggestion as to how long to leave it in my cellar before opening.
