2000 Méo-Camuzet Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Clos St. Philibert

By on April 30, 2009 #asides

Like chalk and cheese these two wines. The 2000 has a quite young, medium yellow colour whereas the 2001 is much more golden. Despite the colours, the 2000 is the more toasty and faintly madirised, the 2001 is aromatically much more like a classic white burgundy. The 2000 needs time in the glass as it starts also with madirised flavours – but they all-but disappear with 1 hour’s aeration, leaving some sweetness, good concentration and balance. The 2001 is very balanced but much more austere in the mid-palate and finish – just needs a little more sweetness for ’solo’ drinking, however, it fits really well with food. Overall, decent value wines that I occasionally see at reasonable prices on restaurant lists.

Although still a young colour and with aromatics to match, there are two things in the glass – acidity and sweetness – but they are totally separate entities and seem to be heading of in separate directions – I would drink these up.

2000 Comte Georges de Vogüé Bourgogne Blanc

Pale gold. A waxy nose with subtle, cream covered, pineapple. The nose slowly evolves a faint butterscotch edge. The density and balance when coupled with the acidity is rather good, it’s not entirely subtle but there is more than a hint of refinement, there’s even a lingering creamy edge to the nut infused finish. Very interesting and worth keeping in the cellar for 5+ years – as demonstrated by…

Medium-pale ruby colour, fading to salmon pink at the rim. Nice sweet red fruit nose – like a ’97. The palate is quite fresh with grainy tannins and okay acidity. Still some astringency on the finish. This was fine with food, but was a little rustic without.

Just a little lighter in colour than 2001. The nose is pleasing if a little subdued – eventually coming through with the (now) characteristic mix of melon and honey. Fatter than the previous wines but with a lovely, mouth-watering acidity and good length. Another good wine.

2000 Roulot Guy Bourgogne Blanc

Pale yellow. The nice nose is a little appley. On the palate the fruit’s not as intense as the 1999, but has some fat – comes across almost in a Chablis style. Medium length, but still quite young. Should improve for 2 or 3 years.

2000 Thomas Charles Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits

Medium-pale cherry red. On the nose there are deep woody notes against raspberry fruits. Fresh, good acidity. Tannins are just a little bitter. Okay, but no more.

2000 Méo-Camuzet Bourgogne Rouge

A negociant wine. Medium, medium-pale cherry red. Rather subdued nose of, well, not that much actually. Some fat, good acidity and a nice creamy tinge to the finish. The tannin is there, but not obtrusive. It’s a reasonable enough wine, but today it’s giving up very little, and given it’s the price of a village wine I can’t really give it the thumbs up.
