M. Iverson and I ate at a Paris resto this week where the wine list proudly announced "Parker 100/100" for one of the wines on the list.

Yeah, that was a drag. Good restaurant, though.

Was it a Faiveley?
 
There were some very successful 83s made by Ponsot, Fourrier, Mongeard-Mugneret. Corton Renardes from Michel Gaunoux tasted on Friday may have surpassed any red burgundy I've tasted from that vintage.

A magnum of 1986 Clos Vougeot from Georges Mugneret tasted later that day was difficult to comprehend: fresh, pure, sweet enough, long and complex. Tomorrow will be exactly 24 years since the genius who made that wine had passed away.

Claude,

Le Cotte Rôti. Frankly, the wine list looks as though it was composed by paging through Revue du Vin de France or Bettane-Desauve and buying off their reccos. Some good stuff, but also some not so good stuff, and I don't see the mark of a specific individual's tastes.
 
Glad you got back OK. Hope there wasn't too much residual damage from the previous evening's festivities.

You're exactly right about the wine list. Though the Saumon was a nice surprise.
 
I had completely forgotten that, in addition to the chardonnay planted in ile des vergelesses in the early 80s, Chandon de Briailles had planted a few rows of Pinot Blanc further up in the vineyard in 1992, and since then the variety constituted a very small percentage of the cépage in ile des vergelesses blanc. Not starting in 2012, however. IdV will be all chardonnay, and I had the pleasure of sampling, from a fairly ancient looking barrel, a bona fide orange pinot blanc. Does Levi accept samples for AOC designation yet?

That place has always been looking for itself. The food is kinda good, kinda not good. There are a coupla exciting things on the list, but lots of it is not so....

Guess it's still in that limbo. But citing Parker points? That's just weird.

Though I did have a lovely 1999 Clos Rougeard "Poyeux" with Peter Liem there two years ago.

I thought you were rehabilitating pb these days?
 
BTW, for those wondering about the current state of premox, I saw a high quality 2008 being poured down in the sink in a restaurant, clearly premoxed.

I tasted a high quality 2008 in a great cellar, that was early premox. Wonderful wine, if it had been 10 years older.

Cotte or Côte? A typo or some odd pun I'm not getting? Either way, why "Le"?
 
It's a pun. The restaurant is located on the rue de Cotte. The "Le" is because it's a restaurant (masculine, always)--you'd say, "Le Paix" for instance, if the restaurant were called Paix (which is a feminine noun).
