2005 Berthaut Fixin Les Crais

By billn on June 02, 2011

Medium-plus red, perhaps starting to lose some of the colour of youth. The nose is lovely; invitingly deep, dark fruit with a hint of mineral. Mouthfilling, with excellent acidity and still slightly sticky but smooth tannin. There’s plenty of flavour here and a mineral length too. Drinking very well right now – I’m tempted to try some of the other cuvées. Lovely.

A very tidy and smooth red nose. Tannin is the first thought though it’s soft and not overly pronounced, it’s also coupled

to red fruit showing an additional creamy depth. Well balanced acidity and a reasonable length. High quality villages

Fixin.

A deeper and tighter nose – faint spice too. Balance coupled to super texture, excellent width, depth and dimension. The

size of the note is inversely proportional to the quality – excellent.

2005 Berthaut Gevrey-Chambertin Clos des Chezeaux

Delicate, fragrant and focused, it’s a lovely nose though not what I would guess to be Gevrey. Some fat, this nicely

textured wine again shows an additional creamy edge to the fruit. The tannin is less transparent than the previous

‘Arvelets’, but it’s fine and ripe. Finishes long and fresh. Excellent villages.
