28:50 – table including Christine Saurel (Montirius), Jancis Robinson MW,
Louis Barruol (next to Jancis), Matt Wall, Matthieu Perrin (Famille Perrin)
This was a tough event for any of us numerically challenged – 21 wines served@28:50 in Fetter Lane. The dinner was designed to show the ageability of Gigondas wines starting with examples from the 2006 vintage and ending with 1995.
From the 21 wines served my favourite wines from the marathon were (in
order of vintage) the 2005 Confidentiel
Montirius, 2004 Domaine Saint Gayan, 2000 Château de Saint Cosme, 2000
Domaine la Boussière and the 1999 Domaine les Pallières.
