2006 Guyon Chorey-lès-Beaune Les Bons Ores

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

The colour is a little more ruby-red. The nose shows more obvious estery notes. In the mouth this is clearly more refined but, somehow, less exciting than the Bourgogne. It slowly widens in the mouth and actually does show a little more verve. I’d probably still buy the Bourgogne ahead of this.

2006 Guyon Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Peuillets

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. The nose is rather understated, I would even say tight, just faint red fruit with floral hints. Ripe, smooth fruit grows in intensity across your tongue and into the mid-palate. Almost good this.

2006 Guyon Nuits St.Georges Les Herbues

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. Also rather tight yet floral – perhaps a hint of caramel. Good texture and concentration. Only slowly the tannin reveals itself. Good dimension and length. Nice Nuits.

2006 Guyon Vosne-Romanée Charmes de Maizières

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. Still rather understated aromatics, but this smells lovely (I didn’t write why!). Ripe and mouth-filling with a sneaky extra dimension in the middle and very interesting length. Pricy, but super.

2006 Guyon Aloxe-Corton Les Guerets

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. The most floral of these. In the mouth this is a more obviously structured but balanced wine of quite a red-fruit complexion. Good length. Frankly too expensive for Aloxe despite its quality.

2006 Guyon Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. High tones that are backed by faint caramel and a faintly spicy undertow. Certainly more concentration and dimension – lots of wine here – much complexity and very good length. This is super, only the price spoils the party.

2006 Guyon Vosne-Romanée En Orveaux

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. More open and spicy than the Brùlées with more caramel over slightly blurred red fruits. More punch and mid-palate concentration. Super balance and length – what’s not to love

2006 Guyon Echézeaux

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-pale colour. A lovely, wide nose of spice, caramel and fruit. The texture is not particularly sophisticated, but the concentration and dimension are super. Clearly overpriced, but super wine

2006 Guyon Gevrey-Chambertin Les Platières

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. Earthy and sweet with caramel and mineral aspects. Concentrated with plenty of structure, though not the mid-palate dimension and complexity of finish of the 2006 Echézeaux. Super villages though.
