2013 de Montille Puligny-Montrachet Les Chalumaux

By billn on October 27, 2020

That’s big nose – forward, round, ripe fruit at the core – slightly softer and of course, with a little creamy aromatic development. Wide, mineral, a fine if with a slight richness of texture – practically a little caramel in what is otherwise a clarity of flavour. Chalumaux

A pretty width of aroma, faintly floral, with cushioned fruit. Bright, structural, good energy though. Lacking a little charm today – perhaps it’s beginning to close(?) – and that’s despite being quite tasty.

2016 Drouhin Joseph Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières

A little whiff of oak which quickly departs to offer plenty of complexity and a base of sweet fruit. Vibrantly flavoured with fine energy, a little saline side showing too before some mineral impression. Concentrated and complex but with a nice freshness of style too.

2016 Drouhin Joseph Meursault

Here’s a pleasing floral note, but under is also a purity of fruit. Supple, deep, really fine texture, a little impression of salty vanilla from the barrels in there. Very tasty wine but I’d probably take the 2016 Chablis in preference.

2015 Drouhin Joseph (Domaine de Vaudon) Chablis Mont de Milieu

By billn on July 21, 2019

There’s a ripeness of fruit here, almost creamy. Bright, bubbly, melting, juicily flavoured. Fine texture. Not such a Chablis nose, but the freshness and classic style of Chablis flavour. Very tasty – indeed – yum!

2011 Drouhin Joseph Nuits St.Georges Les Vaucrains

By billn on July 20, 2019

Oof – grating pyrazine on this nose – that’s not a good start! Nice shape in the mouth, a little textural drag of tannin with some astringency running through the mainly pyrazine flavour – never, awful stuff!

2016 Louis Moreau Chablis Les Fourneaux

By billn on June 21, 2019

A nose with even more depth of yellow citrus fruit. A little more depth to the texture too, though a little less energy than the Vaillons – but here is more of a penetrating, slow-burning, more contemplative flavour – more sensual too. Longer finishing but without the same dynamics. Excellent.
