Intermezzo - a nice red Burgundy

Yesterday evening we had a very fine dinner in restaurant het pomphuis, which has a very extensive wine list with wines from all over the world ranging from relatively cheap bottles at 25€ upto a bottle of 1995 millésime (degorged in 2006) champagne
Moët et Chandon for the price of 590€ a bottle ...

Anyway, we didn't have any wine during dinner as we had decided upfront that we would open a really good bottle from our own cellar after dinner. We came home and decided to open up a bottle of Chassagne-Montrachet from the Cote de Beaune region in Burgundy.
It was the 2007 vintage bottled by Henri de Villamont.

I don't normally drink Burgundy wines a lot as they are often too expensive for what they really are, but I bought this bottle a while ago during a tasting at Wijnen Van Durme in april. It was still a hefty >20Euro price, but we do think it was worth it ...

After opening the bottle the first thing we notices was the exceptional intense colour that was already really red without hints of purple which is quite strange for a 2007 vintage I though. Next to that the aroma was amazingly fresh, containing lots of red berries and a slight hint of vanilla and other spices.
Taste wise it was very soft, with maybe a tad too much sour.
