2004 Bouchard Aine Meursault Porusot

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

From 45 year-old vines. The wine starts a little more linear and closed in vs the Chassagne, but from the mid-palate the concentration bursts forward. This is interesting and a good wine.

From 30 year-old vines, vinified using 30% new oak. Whilst there is some width to the nose and a few high and mineral tones, this wine seems rather tight. Sweet palate with grainy tannin and medium length. A tasty, if unsophisticated wine.

2004 Bouchard Aine Echézeaux

From vines approaching 60 years-old. A wide nose with some high tones, but again a little tight and showing no depth. The palate shows plenty of grainy tannin and reasonable spicy concentration. It’s clean, but many 1er crus deliver more intensity, depth and complexity, so I can only describe this as ‘okay’.

2004 Bouchard Aine Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot

From 40 year-old vines. Intense nose. The plate shows good concentration and is nicely backed by the balancing acidity. Medium length, this is a nice wine.
