Belland Roger

2008 Belland Roger Santenay Gravières

By billn on November 30, 2010

Higher-toned redder fruits, perhaps riper too. The same structure as the ‘Comme’ but more flavour to buffer it – even an extra dimension of flavour in the finish – very nice!

Depth, width and seemingly almost a texture to the nose. Fuller, everything is ‘extra’ versus the previous wines; flavour, balance, structure. This decays with less obvious flavour than the Gravières, but no less length.

2008 Belland Roger Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Pitois

Wide, very nice aromas with a little herb (like Chassagne whites). The flavour is slightly more mineral than the Santenay with a similar intensity though a darker and fuller mid-palate of fruit.

Made with the stems. Very pretty aromas – mainly fine red fruits – understated but lovely. Very soft fruits at the wine’s core, perfect acidity, fine tannin and flavours that decay very slowly – super-pretty!

(Blanc) There’s a hint of savoury to the nose, baked bread perhaps. This is also rather full but combined with the acidity there is a little more intensity. A nice fresh, again stony finish – long too!

There’s a nicely, Chassagne nose with that slightly herbal backdrop. There is richness and some lovely acidity to match – the 2008 formula – I like the length, this is very nice indeed.

2008 Belland Roger Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gains

By billn on November 30, 2010

The nose is quite fresh, slowly widening to a pretty effect and with a little cream to support the fruit below. Width of flavour, rather mineral with a good ‘clinging’ concentration – this really helps the length. Very, very nice.

2008 Belland Roger Meursault Santenots

By billn on November 30, 2010

The nose is fresh and wide, if not so deep – slowly develops a sweeter core of fruit. There is good minerality and the intensity almost bursts across the mid-palate before slowly decaying. This is lovely.

2008 Belland Roger Maranges Fussière

By billn on November 30, 2010

The nose is floral and shows plenty of red fruit – quite engaging. Across the tongue this has sweetness dovetailed to good, slightly velvet structure.
