Three wines with dinner

After visiting Moreau we went to a one-star in Beaune and drank the following wines with dinner.

Riesling Grand Cru Muenchberg 2001, Andre Ostertag

Good mineral nose, nice and ripe. The palate is pleasingly mineral, but is quite light-bodied. This is a pretty Riesling.

Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Caillerets 2004, Marc Colin

Nice minerality, good focus. Very Chassagne. A real purity of expression here. This is top bunny.

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2002, Rene Engel

Very fruity nose; bien loché. It has a good earthy character to it. The palate has a real density to it. Lovely fruit. Very long. Good complexity. Excellent Clos de Vougeot.
