2008 Belland Roger Meursault Santenots

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.

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

Understated. The nose has some density but remains rather tight. Silky, ever-widening in the mouth – the intensity grows in tandem. Actually it still grows for a while after you swallow. Super, super length.

Lots of aromatic depth. Fine tannin and very good acidity – though not the flavour impact that the nose suggests. Long finishing. A structured wine to wait a couple of years (or much longer) for.

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!
