Côte de Beaune Meets Côte de Nuits

We're returning to one of my favorite spots—Noreetuh—for this tasting. Located at 128 First Avenue in the East Village, Noreetuh is a modern Hawaiian restaurant whose menu pairs beautifully with Burgundy wines.

There will be 1 white and 3 reds in this 6 person Meetup.

Just a reminder of our usual rules:

** The cost of this event is $63 and is for the cost of the wines and corkage only.

NOTE: Meetup has started charging a "Partner Fee" that is above and in addition to the listed price of the event. It comes to approximately $4 more for each RSVP. You will see this charge when you complete your rsvp and pay for the event. Sorry! Meetup+ members are exempt from this charge.

Please note that you'll be responsible for the cost of your own food, plus an additional 33% to cover tax and tip. We kindly ask that you order at least two courses—such as a main dish and either an appetizer or dessert—for dinner. Restaurants that allow us to bring our own wine for a reasonable corkage fee are rare, so it's important that we show our appreciation by being gracious guests. This helps ensure we’re welcomed back in the future.

Please read and understand the group's cancellation policy. If you take spot, then cancel, and no one else takes the spot, you will not receive a refund or credit. No refunds or credits will be given for no-shows or late cancellations (unless someone else takes your spot). All cancellations are subject to a $6 service fee.

Please use public transportation - NO DRINKING AND DRIVING!

The Wines:

2017 P&L Borgeot Puligny-Montrachet Les Meix ($55) - No Pro Reviews, CT 90.5
About the producer:
The Borgeot family started the winery back in 1903. Today, brothers Pascal and Laurent are fourth generation winemakers. They are in the village of Remigny, near Santenay. Together, they work 48 acres of vines, half in red, half in white. Most of their vines are 30 years old or older, with parcels of Santenay ‘Vieilles Vignes’ and Puligny Montrachet older than 50 years. For over twenty years, their vines have received only organic fertilizers. They work the soil in winter to keep down weeds and increase micro-bacteriological activity. Where they have replanted, they have chosen strains of vines that are low yielding. All these policies are aimed at bringing the harvest to full and perfect maturity.

2018 Bouchard Père et Fils Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot ($95) WA 93, The 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets Ancienne Cuvée Carnot is showing beautifully from bottle, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, black plums, sweet soil tones and subtle spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it’s one of the more tightly wound wines in the range, with powdery structuring tannins, lively acids and a long, penetrating finish. Drink 2025-2050.(NM)

2018 Vosne-Romanee Aux Communes, Domaine Seguin-Manuel ($80) No Pro Reviews, CT 88, 2018 marked the sixth vintage that Thibaut Marion had owned Vosne-Romanée vines – a rare and precious addition to his cellar. The wine was 100% de-stemmed, and aged in 25% new oak barrels. Colour is pale, ruby-purple, with sweet-smelling Pinot aromas of real charm. Palate is full-bodied, with impressive fruit density, silky texture and freshly balanced length (for drinking 2023-2028+).

2019 Domaine Jean-Michel Guillon & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvee Pere Galland ($69), Burghound 92 Points - Jean-Michel Guillon described 2019 as ‘one that was hot and very dry yet somehow managed to give us wines of freshness and minerality that preserve underlying terroir distinctions. We picked from the 19th to the 27th of September and the good news is that the fruit could not have been any cleaner. The bad news is that yields were down about 40% compared to a normal vintage. What is interesting is that while both 2018 and 2019 were very warm vintages, 2019 is more homogenous and has better pHs as well. Stylistically, the 2019s remind me of the 2016s with perhaps just a bit more stuffing.’ As the scores and commentaries confirm, I was impressed with the quality. From Les Crais and Les Murots, there is exceptional richness to the opulent broad-shouldered flavors that firm up immediately on the youthfully austere, detailed and impressively persistent finish (tasted January 2021.) Drink 2025+.
