2008 Ropiteau Frères Bourgogne Blanc

By billn on April 13, 2010

A little oak toast mingles with the high tones. There’s a small burst of interest in the mouth, but this is essentially a little flat. Okay…

2008 Ropiteau Frères Meursault Rougeots

Cool, reserved, ripe fruits on the nose. In the mouth there’s lots of energy, acidity and a good width. This is a very much better wine than the Bourgogne.

2008 Ropiteau Frères Meursault Les Perrières

By billn on April 13, 2010

Slightly soft but very good aromas of high-toned green-skinned fruits. Another wine that has very good energy and width. The finely detailed flavours really linger. Lots of dry extract. This is really very good.

2008 Ropiteau Frères Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gains

By billn on April 13, 2010

Smells a little understated after the two Meursaults but is fine all the same. More concentration, less exuberance. A very nice insinuation of flavour in the mid-palate. Very good!

2006 Ropiteau Frères Meursault Les Genevrières

By billn on April 13, 2010

Warm ripe fruit against a deeper oak note. This is fat but has decent balance – though it’s disadvantaged following the 2008s. Very well put together and understatedly concentrated.
