Grand

2011 Louis Moreau Chablis Vaudesir

By billn on June 21, 2019

A narrower nose but clearly with lots of depth. Large scale in the mouth, concentrated, layered, reminds of the Fourneaux in its more contemplative style, but still not really showing lots of age-related complexity, just a little extra floral dimension towards the finish.

A finer width of aroma with a little floral aspect. Ooh, that has such clarity, flashes of light, flashes of mandarin fruit in the gushing finish – grand vin!

A fresh, airy, nose with nice fruit, not a nose of impact but one of beautiful complexity. Fresh, direct, layered on the palate – ooh, really concentrated, layered finishing – this is a great wine for a 2017!

In bottle one month. Hmm, this has a lovely nose – fine floral perfume and depth. Nice in the mouth, there’s drive and complexity here. Holding a good, partly mineral finish. Not full amplitude, but everything that’s visible is delicious. Excellent!

2017 Guyot Olivier Clos de la Roche

Bottled a month. Hmm, a nice, open, freshness here, just a little perfumed and saline. Depth of flavour, intensity, depth to the texture too. Both mineral and a little structural. Faint oak on the finish. Really lots to look forward to.

2017 Rémi Jeanniard Clos de la Roche

By billn on March 28, 2019

One month in bottle. Not such a wide nose but one of depth with a certain salinity above – slowly releasing some attractive fruit too. Vibrant, complex, delicious wine – ooh – such an up-front performance. A little oak in the finish, but only a little. Really excellent!

2017 Castagnier Guy Clos de la Roche

Hmm – wide, darkly oaked but with quite an aromatic invitation. Mouth-filling. Big wine. Only slowly melting its complexity over the palate. Serious, impressive, and with lots of power for the vintage – delicious and it will last as long as you wish – bravo!

In bottle 1 week. The nose hasnt yet revovered from bottling, but working the glass brings ever-more purity. Ooh – thats good a wine, one of line, not too much intensity but such a fine and complex ‘presence’ – really super. Excellent wine.
