2006 Clos Frantin Gevrey-Chambertin Les Murots

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

Medium-plus colour without the purple of the others. Some faint reduction slightly masks darker fruit. Wide on the palate with plenty of tannin – faintly reduced flavours here too. Nicely lingering flavour

Medium-plus colour. The nose is wide and typical with good fresh fruit. Some complexity and balanced tannins (that are much more sophisticated than the last wines) compliment good fruit. Always a dependable cuvée here.

Darker colour than the villages wine. Wide, high-toned and complex, but some estery dimension. Soft and ripe, filled with well-grained tannin, an extra dimension of flavour and a super finish. I find this very good

Deep colour. Tight, a suggestion of depth but little more. Full-bodied, with good texture and very good fruit. There’s plenty of structure to resolve, but the finish lingers well and has a savoury edge.

A forward nose with a super mix of red and black fruit with an undertone of spice. Complex, well-textured with a very understated length. No fireworks today, but beautiful fruit.

An impressive, layered nose with hints of coffee. Full-packed palate with plenty of structure. There’s more here, both dimension and structure. It’s certainly a little austere, but it’s not that tough and it is very, very impressive.

Burgundy Report

is special because...

Although this site has to support itself, and its author, everything in these pages is eventually free to view. With 350-400 domaine visits and many blind tastings per year, you won’t find that level of coverage and openness elsewhere!

I don’t ‘score‘ but I do actually recommend which wines to buy from which estates – instead of hiding behind an anonymous 94/100 score – does that mean buy or not? We should be told!

The monthly reports for subscribers reverts to ‘free-access’ after a little more than two years, because the whole ethos of Burgundy is sharing – Burgundy Report too – in this case, sharing the passion…
