Château Chorey-les-Beaune - Germain

2003 Château Chorey-les-Beaune - Germain Chorey-lès-Beaune

By on November 30, 2009 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose has a ripe, macerating acid-red cherry centre. The fruit flavour is a mix of darker cherry – shaded much more to black. Good acidity and with a rasp to the tannin. A very nice dimension of good fruit in the mid-palate and quite okay length. Many of the most successful 03s come from the less vaunted appellations – here’s a perfect example that shows better than Chorey from most other vintages.

(First bottle corked) Medium-plus ruby-red colour. The nose is quite deep, dark coloured fruit with only a faint suggestion of jamminess. The palate is completely jam-free; still plenty of slightly astringent tannin, good acidity and a reasonable density of (still) one-dimensional fruit. A nice-enough wine that despite it’s lowly appellation is still very much a youngster.
