Boisset Jean-Claude

2008 Boisset Jean-Claude St.Aubin En Remilly

By billn on August 08, 2011

Medium, medium plus yellow. The nose has wafts of grapefruit and pineapple. Day one this is close to tart but with a fabulous acid intensity, the agrume fruit seems just borderline ripe – me? Day two this is classic 2008 with a slightly tropical edge to the fruit but just wonderful acid balance – it seems a little sweeter. I assume my palate wasn’t playing on day one because this is superb on day 2!

(Blanc) The nose is both wide and concentrated – yet admirably fresh. Wow, very mineral and quite explosive in the mid-palate too. No-one would guess Beaune-blanc – Chapeau!

Deep and round – quite some energy to the aromas. Fuller and more concentrated than the Chorey, yet has the energy to be quite lithe. Lovely flavour of fruit in the mid-palate that fills out more as you enter the finish. Really this is very, very super.

The nose is full and dense – dark fruit aromas. Also full and concentrated in the mouth, with lovely acidity. A big wine – but is sold out!

Eighty percent new oak. The aromas need coaxing from the glass; no oak just silky dark fruit. Velvet textuire and very concentrated – this is one big hill of flavour that decays oh-so slowly. Superb!

2002 Boisset Jean-Claude Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes

From Gregory’s first vintage… Heavily scented, this seems quite mature for the vintage – though not the colour. Full in the mouth, plenty of tannin and good long flavours. Still a baby!

2009 Boisset Jean-Claude Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gains

The nose shows lots of width with some subtle complexity. This is another wine starts relatively narrow in the mouth but gets wider and wider. Lovely balance and very nice indeed.

The nose is fine and understated. A narrow entry that is reminiscent of the aligoté until it widens across the palate. Beautiful length – very, very pretty.
