LeDomduVin: Déjà vu! Déjà bu!

Déjà vu! Déjà bu! 😉

As with all things in life: “Quand on aime, on ne compte pas!" (which translates to “When you love, you do not count the cost or the numbers!). Well, it's the same for wines!

As a private and corporate sommelier, I usually buy in small quantities and only according to the needs of the different dinners and events for which I buy, prepare, taste, and serve the wines.

Of course, anticipating the unexpected is essential, so I always buy one or two more bottles of each wine in case there are more guests than expected. 

As a result, I sometimes serve the same wines at different dinners or events that follow one another. Hence, the title of this post: "Deja vu! Deja bu!" ("Already seen! Already Drank."), because I have already served these wines in the picture a few times in the past few weeks. And this was the case again that evening.

I like to start the evening with Dom Perignon 2013 as an aperitif and with the first starter. In the last few weeks, I have opened a few bottles, and I really like this vintage: fresh, light, dry, mineral, and slightly toasted. Perfect to start a good meal.

Those following me are probably tired of seeing bottles of Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet on many of my posts. But it's stronger than me. I love this producer; his wines are so good I can't resist serving them frequently. They are ample, generous, and smooth, with that glycerine sensation that coats the palate and makes you salivate with envy. I love it.

I opened a bottle of Domaine Faiveley Mazis-Chambertin 2010 a few days earlier and found it so delicious that I wanted to taste it again. It was a wise choice as it gave me the same pleasure as the previous time.

Never mind if I have already seen, tasted, and served them before; I never get tired of good things and good wines!😉😁👍🍷

NB: see my previous posts on my blog for tasting notes here (for Faiveley) and here (for Dom Perignon and Bachelet Monnot)

Cheers! Santé!

Dom
