FINE+RARE, Jul 2018
The '69 was in a wonderful place, ethereal and delicate and perfectly balanced. Soft, bright and perfumed, wonderfully fresh and sweet. So expressive, structured still but silky and long. Some very subtle spice on the finish, married beautifully with the fillet of veal which was scrubbed lightly with cumin. Certainly one of the stars of the evening and so wonderful to be reminded of just how well Gaunoux’s wines develop with time.
