Update Bergaud Cote Rotie

November 18th, 2006

Last night I ended with two bottles of Cote Rotie all laden with brett.  I wasn’t sure what to do with them so I left them in the wine cellar over night and checked them again today.  I dumped them into a big decanter this afternoon and by service I thought that most of the brett had blown off.  So I decided to offer it to a couple of people by the glass and see what the reaction was.  The first guest to try it I know and who has a decent palate.  I just poured him a small taste and held my breath.  He loved it!  Another table bought five glasses.  They loved it too!  The little bit that remained we gave away as comps.  I guess that the 2001 Bernard Bergaud Cote Rotie needs to be decanted over night.
