Clos Frantin

2007 Clos Frantin Gevrey-Chambertin Les Murots

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

Higher tones, a little herb and nice red fruit – this is very pretty. Ripeness and good tannin. Velvety with good, high-toned red fruit also into the finish. Pretty wine.

2007 Clos Frantin Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts

Drunk directly after the Clos de Bèze, this was still a wow! High-toned aromas over a tighter base of very pretty fruit and faint spice – slowly it opens more. Gorgeous sweet fruit, a little tannin ‘grab’ before building in the mid-palate then slowly fading – super.

Broadly a higher-toned nose than the Malconsorts. Narrower entry but it fills the palate with plenty of dimension and faintly astringent tannin. Has a little more density, but not the impact of the Malconsorts. Long finishing with a little barrel flavour.

A gorgeous blend of spice and depth and width to the nose, that’s dovetailed to a melange of black and red fruit – it’s almost a velvety aroma. More tannin, a little grained, but very ripe. The fruit takes over much later into the mid-palate though flows through a very impressive length.

An elegant, more red-shaded nose that’s rounded with a little wood-spice. Plenty of ripe tannin and a really impressive complex intensity in the mid-palate that today is coated with tannin. Lovely base material.
