Opened this one (subtitled Les bons ores, Domaine Guyon) this evening and thought, "oops, no fruit no nose did I get another corked bottle?" A little funky at first with about 20 minutes it came around and delivered a nice cherries and je ne sais pas that lmade it go so well with dinner.
It was a good day. i got done at school (substitute teaching French 1 students) cleaned up client issues with my travel business and then off to the store to plan dinner. As I was looking at the veal scallopini on sale, my eye was caught by the magret. Temps were turning a little cooler here tonight so it seemed perfect for magret with lyonaise potatoes and brussel sprouts hence the burgundy.
I actually thought to open the reserve chinon before retrying the Chorey but once the burgundy took hold it was a perfection of tastes the duck was, well I don't want to tell tales, but I can't remember better canard and the lyonaise spuds were just too divine.
My wife and I finished the bottle on the porch just remarking on how good life can be. Good wine and good food can do that.
It was a very good night. 2 hours ago I would have given the wine a C+ an hour ago it was a solid B It is now trying to get an A but we will stick with the B. (I, too, am just that kind of teacher.)
