2008 Heresztyn Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

By billn on January 27, 2011

A blend from three parcels. The nose has beautifully clean lines; dark red fruit. Full, silky and grows in the mid-palate. There’s a little chocolate on the finishing note. Lovely balance – bravo!

The nose is wider and only a little more delicate. Satin tannin and again the flavour grows in the mid-palate. Once-more with a little chocolate in the finish.

Swirling and warming with the hands brings out dark red fruit with a hint of musk. This is quite silky, mineral too. There’s a lovely line of flavour that goes right through the core and out the other side in the finish – no chocolate here.

2008 Heresztyn Gevrey-Chambertin Les Goulots

This is very slow to open, eventually very precise and pretty berry notes lift from the glass. Again there is quite some minerality here, allied to elegance and quite some intensity though. After swallowing there’s a good evolution of the flavour – and only now a hint of tannin!

Here is a more open depth of achingly pretty fruit – super. There is more width and still some minerality, gorgeous fruit. I’d love to compare this the Bachelet and Ilan!

By billn on January 26, 2011

Lithe black berries, hints of herbs, reticent yet at the same time involving. Here’s another rather mineral wine but with more structure – fine grained tannin with a hint of astringency. A good line of flavour into the finish – Yum!

2008 Heresztyn Morey St.Denis Les Millandes

By billn on January 26, 2011

The nose has a core of dark, slightly musky fruit. Very mineral with plenty of fine-grained structure. The fruit flavour only emerges in the mid-palate as the intensity grows. Lovely in the finish, and long too!

2008 Heresztyn Clos St.Denis

By billn on January 26, 2011

This is very tight to start with. Here the structure comes first, dominating the flavours – it’s a sullen performance; there’s lots of well-balanced material here but today there are only glimpses of fruit and flavour. The smell of last drops in the glass bode well for the future – lovely
