Last night we had a very good dinner at Les Comédiens, which started with a tasting of oysters. We found that the 2006 Menetou-Salon from Fournier was a better match with the oysters than the rather disappointing 2007 Petit Chablis from Bichot. During the dinner we had a small vertical of the Clos Roche Blanche Elevé-en-futs-Chêne 1995 and 1996, which is a blend of Gamay, Cabernet and Côt. The 1995 had soft sweet evolved fruit with notes of balsamic vinegar and still some tannins remaining from this tannic vintage. Although the 1995 showed pretty well it was eclipsed by the fresher, more youthful 1996 with its wonderful spicy nose. My fellow tasters were astonished by these two wines.
