The aromas are more forward and fruity, a hint floral and fresher. Lovely raspberry fruit; cushioned long and fresh – lovely.

2007 Gros Michel Nuits St.Georges Aux Challots
2004 Gros Michel Vosne-Romanée Clos des Réas
The nose has plenty of oak and dark cherry, a little farmyard too – eventually developing high-toned aromas too – I see no vintage character, but oak can obscure that – all the same nice. Good texture; mouthfilling with plenty of well-mannered tannin. Long and darkly flavoured – a good wine for drinking now.
2001 Gros Michel Nuits St.Georges 1er Cru
A blend of Murgers and Vignes Rondes. There’s a layer of sous-bois to get through but below is good supporting fruit. In the mouth that fruit is ripe and sweet – nicely concentrated too. Tarry, staining flavours that are very long indeed. This needs a couple more years in the cellar but it’s frankly excellent.
