2010 Château Bellevue Morgon Les Clos

By billn on June 18, 2019

Reserve Caveau Label
The first vintage made in this new (at the time) winery.
A completely different style of aroma – no marsala style but really a brilliant complexity of age is starting to show. Still plenty of tannin here – a wine that shows great scale, freshness and open structure. This is really complex – starting to show some delicious traits – not young flavours but that’s a super finish – long, endearing, moreish finishing. Still young to start, but a great finish – bravo!

2010 Gambal Alex Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes

By billn on October 16, 2018

Brilliant, medium-red. The nose starts with a suggestion of reduction, a hint of something spiced too. Wide, multi-dimensional, excellently vibrant wine – Ooh! – I wasn’t expecting the juiciness and excellence of that after such a modest nose! There’s a touch of oak at the start but it’s soon gone. Not an exciting nose, but the rest is very much exciting – yum!

2010 Marchand Pascal Chambolle-Musigny

A lovely nose with a waxy impression and aromatic depth – very fine and pretty. The flavours are mineral and elegant – structure like fine bone china. There’s a little coconut oak in the finish – I’d be looking for that to fade, but this is a little beauty.

2010 Marchand Pascal Morey St.Denis En la Rue de Vergy

The nose offers up a depth of creamed red fruit, darker than the Chambolle but also rather refined. The acidity is a little more obvious but it’s cemented to good intensity, smooth tannin and a mineral length. Love it!

2010 Marchand Pascal Volnay 1er Cru

By billn on May 06, 2012

A blend of Angles and Champans which is already bottled.
I love the high-toned fruit aromas, but there are also some quite obvious barrel notes padding out the ‘whole’ – they need to fade a bit. There is more tannin than any of the previous wines, but the flavour is also much longer. Currently it’s a shade less elegant than the previous wines, but it has more of everything and has only just been assembled in tank so that might be playing a role.

2010 Marchand Pascal Corton

By billn on May 06, 2012

The nose has a wonderful depth, certainly quite the cuisinière though with coffee, chocolate, hints of coconut – fortunately I also find fruit. As the previous wines, Pascal has delivered a super-fine structure that delivers excellence without sacrificing intensity of flavour. Gorgeous clarity and super length.

2010 Marchand Pascal Echézeaux

By billn on May 06, 2012

After the Corton, here the nose is more obviously complex – a clear Vosne vernacular – but for all that it’s less precise and focused than the Corton – but with width and depth, a wine of scale. In the moth it’s rounder, more visible tannin than the Corton but like all these wines the structure shows restraint even though there’s a faint hint of ‘grab’. Super.

2010 Marchand Pascal Clos de Vougeot

By billn on May 06, 2012

The nose here gives the impression of a bit more muscle and in shape shows more width than depth. Clearly another level of structure on the palate, but those tannins are polished and the flavour is more overtly mineral than fruity. Impressive stuff – the last drops in the glass now show a super-classy red berry note. Despite the polish, proper CV!

2010 Marchand Pascal Meursault

By billn on May 06, 2012

Wide, pungent aromas. The texture is padded but very well balanced and supports plenty of mid-palate flavour that follows through perfectly into the finish too. Excellent villages and less overtly oak flavoured than the reds.
