Arbois and Austrians

Dinner at Roganic.

Drappier Carte d'Or, en magnum - I could smell the acidity on the nose. The palate was rather soft.

2022 Hiedler Grüner Veltliner Thal - pretty fragrant nose with some stone fruits. Very pleasant and easy to drink.

2015 Michel Brégeon Les Vigneaux Gorges - the nose was nice and flinty, and there was a little fruit on the nose. Got the acidity and was reasonably grippy on the palate.

2019 Coursodon Etincelle - flinty nose, ripe and alcoholic on the palate, and alcoholic on the finish, too.

1986 Rolet Trousseau Arbois, en magnum - the nose was very fragrant, toasty, and a little funky. This was really nice, with lovely, juicy fruit together with that toasty nose.

2022 Kracher Cuvée Auslese - honey and floral notes, with orange blossoms.

Ganevat Seau-Trou les Corvées

Drinking at home.

Ganevat Seau-Trou les Corvées - stinky and pungent, farmy, not quite chalky but a little dirty. Dirty nose faded to reveal some floral and soapy notes.

Ganevat Seau-Trou

Drinking at home.

Anne et Jean-François Ganevat Seau-Trou les Corvées - a little pungent, barnyard, leather, bacon fat, smoky, floral, soapy and almost a little savory on the palate.
