Lucien Le Moine duo

Dinner at Neighborhood.

2012 Lucien Le Moine Corton Blanc - the palate seemed a little too ripe at first, which was not a surprise given the history of the wine. Definitely got that buttery profile on the nose. The acidity gradually came out as the wine got chilled further, and this ended up drinking just fine.

2010 Hospices de Beaune Beaune 1er Cru Cuvée Rousseau-Deslandes, mis en bouteille par Lucien Le Moine pour MNSC - meaty and a bit toasty on the nose, but nowhere near how powerful it was a couple of years ago. The wine has definitely softened a lot more, and is currently much more rounded and elegant.
