More de Moor

[jack hott]

De Moor, Bourgogne Chitry 2007:

After poppping a pouring, this seemed a bit tight. It was clean and clear to the eye, leaving thin trails on the glass. It looks every bit of its 12.2% abv. The nose is orchard fruit and lime skin. On the palate it's more like green apple skin and lemon zest, with some gravel thrown in for interest. Crisp finish, with a healthy Chablis-like acidity playing up the stone and chalk.

Overnight: Wow. Zing. Bam. Holy Tim Leary, Batman. The acid has gone from distinctly young to ripping. The lemon/lime flavors have become much more concentrated. It's almost too much.

It might need to stay in the batcave for a few years.

I've always been a fan of their A Ligoter Tirage de Printemps. You have to be lucky enough to grab a bottle for the 5 minutes it exists at Chambers St. though.

These all sound worth exploring. Anyone have the background on how they ended up at Louis/Dressner?

 

[robert ames]

uh, because they belong together?

 

[SFJoe]

I hear Joe had pictures.

The chitry needs serious time, but it's my experience that every de moor is better the day after, or even three days after.

But they weren't together initially. Some one else imported De Moor. Was one side playing hard to get? Was Joe chased out of Burgundy?

Pictures.

Vintage 59 imported them through about 06. I imagine Joe just turned his well-known charm, and they were helpless to resist. Perhaps it happened on one of the trips when he and Joe Perry were traveling together.

We opened an 05 Rosette several months ago; it was a bit pedestrian day one, day two it was an unusually lovely, nuanced Chablis. Not really a comparison point for 07 Chitry, but, immerhin.

By the way, Joe, if you read this, if you aren't already familiar with the domaine, you should consider checking out Bessin when you are in Chablis again.

de moor was with north berkeley imports a while back.

I had a little taste of the de Moor Aligote this weekend. Wow, it was an eye opening version of Aligote. Really good.

Lose a Breton, gain a de Moor. Life has a balance sometimes.

Why would you lose a Breton?

I believe that that was a reference to the importation situation.

What Mark said, sorry for being cryptic.

 

[Rahsaan]

Oh yes, I forgot about the LDM soap opera. Not at all too cryptic for Disorder.

Must keep up to date!

 

[Joe Dressner]

Rahsaan:

Interesting.

Why a soap opera. Are there love interests?

The Guiding Light was just cancelled. Soap Opera's seem terribly out of fashion.

What's your tenure situation. Are you on tenure track?

Why make senseless and contemptuous comments about other people's business that you don't give a shit about?

It rises above the pedantic and becomes plain mean-spirited. Is that how they train young academics these days?

Kermit Lynch will have all the Breton wines after January 1st for the entire nation. Right now, he only has them for California.

My company will continue to sell them until the end of the year.

I will continue to drink them after the New Year.

No matter what stupid shit you come up with here.

It might be chemobrain. It might be that I am tired.

Or I might be tired by your pomposity.

Or some combination of the three.

Interesting.

I wonder which one of these conditions is the dominant one?

I know you will feel.compelled to have the last word.

Feel free.

 

[Rahsaan]

It must be the third.

I am obviously much more pompous than you could ever dream of being.

You should rest easy in that knowledge.
