Bottle #2 on Bourgogne Party organised by Vova Ulianov. The list of wines was open, but all of them were tasted blindly.

My bet was on Chandon de Briailles based on age perception alone. It’s fruitier with a heavier oak influence. Briar, marigold, strawberry and dill. Maybe I wasn’t in the mood, but the funkiness was overwhelming. Still, it’s complex, elegant and vibrant. Great producer.
