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 Morey Thomas, Santenay Grand Clos RousseauSep. 2011
Deep colour. Forward red and black cherry – shaded towards black with some background herb. In the mouth there’s balance but ebullience too. Plenty of punchy fruit-led flavour – again a dark shade of red – but far from rustic. Juicy, nice acidity. I must confess, a bottle that was finished rather quickly. Fine value wine here.
