2002 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne

By billn on December 06, 2010

Wide and fresh aromatics with just a hint of herbs. There is lovely width, intensity and energy too – quite a silky texture. There is super mid-palate flavour. Yum.

2002 Trapet Père et Fils Latricières-Chambertin

I just knew the football would turn out badly after I opened this hideously corked bottle. A 1998 Antipodean shiraz served as a less than adequate replacement, much like the bunch of people who were supposed to be England footballers…

Rather tight aromas. In the mouth it is mineral, poised and lithe. The flavours are more about rocks than fruit until you head into the much more flavourful finish. Very nice.

2002 Bourée Pierre Fils Charmes-Chambertin

A gorgeous nose of sweet, melting red fruits – super perfume – it smells more than 10 years older! The tannin has almost been resolved, though there’s still a bit of blocky ‘grab’. The flavours have a darker, possibly oak influenced edge. It’s a shame to spit this one out!

An understated nose, there’s some depth to the dark fruit though. It’s slightly disadvantaged by the sweetness of the last wine, but as the slightly astringent tannin clings to your gums it also attaches a flavour that lingers very well in the finish.

2002 Boisset Jean-Claude Mazis-Chambertin

Darker colour. The young, dark fruit shows a mineral depth. Depth to the fruit on the palate too – actually it really penetrates – super dimensions of fruit! The structure is abundant but takes a backseat to the fireworks – excellent.

2002 Picard Michel Mazis-Chambertin

The fruit aromas are sweeter on this Mazis after the JC Boisset, still with a little mineral complexity but essentially quite primary. A big structure this, and while there seems plenty of wine to balance I find myself concentrating on the ‘building’, not it’s contents.
