2005 Ardhuy Beaune Petite Clos du Teurons Blanc

By billn on June 30, 2010

There’s already a hint of gold here. The nose shows a little baked pineapple. Very silky though it has the much more standard ‘fat’ of white Beaune than either the 08 or 09. A good burst of flavour in the mid-palate.

Medium yellow. There’s a hint of toast on the nose. This is largely proportioned with some fat to the texture but enough acidity to keep it on the straight and narrow. There’s a decent burst of interest in the mid-palate though overal I’d like a little more ‘energy’.

From 6 plots whse vines average about 35 years old – there is some vine disease, but the payoff is lower yields and smaller grapes and clusters. Medium, medium-plus colour. A similar, slightly sweet aromatic profile but the fruit is darker. Supple, with good concentration. Very well balanced. The tannin shows together with the dark flavours as you head into the creamy finish. Very successful villages!

A shiny medium cherry-red. The nose is pure pine-needles and cedar – slowly a more fruit-driven effect comes into the mix but over about 20 minutes it is never more than a secondary characteristic. The palate is acid forward, seemingly it needs just an edge more ripeness. The best part of this wine is its texture – very nice finely grained tannins – the finish is not too bad and seems riper than the rest of the wine. Works reasonably well with food, but the borderline ripeness means it would be challenge on its own.

Bottled in September. A little tight, but still gives up ripe blue and red-skinned fruit on the nose. The palate is nicely put together, well balanced and mouthwatering with quite a fine tannic base. A well-crafted villages.

Bottled in September. From a south-facing slope very close to Les Argillières. The nose is also a little tight, though pure cherry fruit is evident. In the mouth there’s a darker aspect to the presentation – very good tannins and fine acidity. There’s lots of material here – a very high quality villages.

A forward and fruity nose that majors on pear whilst retaining some elegance. Ripe (~13.7°), the acidity is fine as it rolls you into a very nice fruity finish. The mid-palate is a little subdued by comparison, but this is a fine villages Puligny and I will probably buy a few bottles.
