MILK FED VEAL DUO 
spiced potato gnocchi, black trumpet mushrooms, natural jus
Domaine Meo-Camuzet  - Clos de Vougeot 2002
Rare is the vintage with the ripeness, balance and fruit expression shown by 2002 Burgundy. Medium-deep red-ruby. Aromas of black cherry and red roses. Fine-grained and vibrant in the mouth, with persistent flavors of black fruits, licorice and orange peel. Rich but dry and classic, with lovely balancing acidity and a very long finish.
