The 2010 vintage for white Burgundy is considered a "classic year," offering concentrated, ripe, and full-flavored wines with excellent balancing structure. Despite some hail damage in the Côte de Beaune, well-organized estates managed to produce wines with great intensity and a long life ahead. The Jean-Claude Bachelet Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Murgers des Dents de Chien 2010, at 16 years old, is described as a rewarding, fully mature white Burgundy with real freshness, despite showing some evolution in color. It presents a firm and oaky nose with apricot and pear compote aromas, and a good whack of ripe fruit in the middle, showcasing excellent vitality and balance. General tasting notes for this wine often include minerals, chalk, mushroom, cream, banana, lemon curd, oak, vanilla, brown bread, citrus, grapefruit, lemon, apple, pear, and toast. 【This wine hails from a prestigious location just above the Grands Crus of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, often offering excellent value for money.】 For a wine of this age, expect a more developed bouquet and palate. The cork may be fragile, so use a Durand or an Ah-So opener. Decanting is recommended for about 30-60 minutes to allow the wine to open up and shed any sediment, but be mindful of older wines' fragility. Serve slightly chilled, around 12-14°C (54-57°F). 🍴 Food Pairing: This mature white Burgundy pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, pike perch fillet, and white meats. It also complements chicken and turkey dishes, as well as a selection of aged, firm cheeses. 🥂 Event Suggestions: An excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner party, a special anniversary, or a contemplative evening for those who appreciate the nuances of aged white Burgundy. It's also a thoughtful gift for a seasoned wine collector.
