2007 Bichot Albert Pommard Clos Micault

By billn on May 22, 2010

The red fruit aromas are more intense. A width of flavour though fruit seems a background component. Plenty of interest on the finish, but today I prefer the Clos des Ursulines.

Medium, medium-pale colour. Forward, friendly strawberry, no bubblegum, and with a slight grassy/herbal backdrop. Decently smooth texture, a sweet-sour fruit impression with acidity that whisks you along just fast enough to avoid you contemplating the sour! Actually the sour is not so bad – let’s call it a talking point. No impression of ‘thin’, also no impression of tannin. Some length, this is actually quite drinkable. It’s not as good as the 2005 or 2006, less beaujolais-esque than the 2005, it’s somehow, almost redolent of proper burgundy…

A wide impression of dark fruit on the nose – very nice indeed. Good concentration with plenty of dimension to the lovely fruit flavours. The tannin has a little grain though shows no astringency. A long barrel-driven finish today.

(Mazis-bas) Medium, medium-plus colour. Big, open aromas edged with toast – initially needs more focus. More tannin, but not astringent and some dark barrel flavours that dovetail to fresh, dark fruit. I think that this is also not showits best, but there is a real underlying sense that this is a very serious wine.

2007 Bichot Albert Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

Aromas that are wide and complex yet never heavy – almost a salty impression. Super fullness, gorgeous fruit, more tannin. serious, indeed profound – a little mineral too. It’s hard to source great Chambertin and Bèze outside of vintages like 2005 – but here is one.

A tiny whiff of SO2 but the nose is wide and very pretty. Ripe and round with super acidity – the slightly creamy fruit has a totally different character to the group of Chablis. Lingers very well.

Denser and more forward, yet the aromatics remain quite fine. There’s a little more fat and excellent balancing acidity. There’s a little mid-palate minerality and a narrow, slowly fading finish. Very good.

Finer, more fruit-driven aromas over a denser core of fruit. Much more intense, your tongue just waters and waters. There’s a creamy edge to the the slow trailing fruit. This is far from easy, but it’s a wow wine!

A tight core of red fruits and a tiny amount of darker reduction on the nose. A hint of dissolved CO2 and deep and lovely cassis fruit. Decent length with just a a little barrel flavour.
