2008 Bellene Bourgogne Rouge 'Maison Dieu' Vieilles Vignes

By billn on June 30, 2010

The vines come from Nicolas’s father, the wine bottled in March. Deeper aromas of red fruit. The structure is a little more obvious here, slowly the fruit comes through to take over. Seems a stricter wine.

From a single lieu-dit, only worked for 2 years in manner Nicolas would like, but he was happy enough with this vintage to include some stems. The nose is a little shy, but clearly pretty and floral. The width of flavour is very nice, the tannin edges just ahead of the fruit today – but it’s a good velvet texture.

They have worked these vines since 2005. Really lovely aromas here – a real sniffer’s wine. The structure again delivers plenty of velvet and there is plenty of acidity, but the fruit flavour behind is really lovely.
