Vintage information 2008:The reds: Brightness, focus and purity - 3 words for a vintage. 2008s are much more 'serious' wines than the friendly-faced 2007s, perhaps with peaks that may surpass those in 2006. Drink young or old - in-between only if you like acidity.
For Whites: What would happen if you made a hypothetical blend of 2006 and 2007? I would say than in many cases you would get the 2008 vintage - minerality and acidity but with good ripeness, they are very hard to resist!

2008 Heresztyn, Gevrey-Chambertin Les PerrièresJan. 2011 Swirling and warming with the hands brings out dark red fruit with a hint of musk. This is quite silky, mineral too. There’s a lovely line of flavour that goes right through the core and out the other side in the finish – no chocolate here.
2008 Heresztyn, Gevrey-Chambertin Les GoulotsJan. 2011 This is very slow to open, eventually very precise and pretty berry notes lift from the glass. Again there is quite some minerality here, allied to elegance and quite some intensity though. After swallowing there’s a good evolution of the flavour – and only now a hint of tannin!
2008 Heresztyn, Gevrey-Chambertin Les CorbeauxJan. 2011 Here is a more open depth of achingly pretty fruit – super. There is more width and still some minerality, gorgeous fruit. I’d love to compare this the Bachelet and Ilan!
2008 Heresztyn, Gevrey-Chambertin ChamponetsJan. 2011 Lithe black berries, hints of herbs, reticent yet at the same time involving. Here’s another rather mineral wine but with more structure – fine grained tannin with a hint of astringency. A good line of flavour into the finish – Yum!
2008 Heresztyn, Morey St.Denis Les MillandesJan. 2011 The nose has a core of dark, slightly musky fruit. Very mineral with plenty of fine-grained structure. The fruit flavour only emerges in the mid-palate as the intensity grows. Lovely in the finish, and long too!
