THORMAN HUNT SCORES VERY HIGHLY IN DECANTER TASTINGS
On the way back from York by train our friend Simon noticed the
following:
Decanter Scores: Of 1242 French wines submitted to
Decanter for panel tastings 289 got four of five stars.
In a list of the top 50 best value French wines of 2011:
> 15 Ch Bellefont Belcier St Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2008
> 21 Clos Fourtet St Emilion Grand Cru 2004
> 28 Chassagne Montrachet les Chaumees 1er cru Vincent Girardin
2008
In a tasting of Meursault & Chassagne Montrachet
2008
"A mind blowing tasting, particularly as 2008 was seen as a
challenging vintage. Our judges felt judicious work in the vineyard
countered the weather related problems faced by producers, and
overallconsistency was startling. Of the two appelations, it was
Chassagne that came on top against its usually more lauded
neighbour."
