2009 Heresztyn Chambolle-Musigny

By billn on January 26, 2011

The nose is direct but precise. Round, absolutely mouth-filling with plenty of understated structure – only in the mid-palate does the flavour of Chambolle come through. Quite approachable now.

The nose is tight. In the mouth there is higher-toned, fresher fruit – more structure too. There is a mineral edge to a flavour that holds and holds. Structured and fresh – not your typical 09.

Also rather tight – slowly some high tones and coal come through. Wider, fuller and sweeter. There is quite come complexity here – a hint of licorice too.

2009 Heresztyn Gevrey-Chambertin Les Goulots

By billn on January 26, 2011

Wide and complex with hints of herbs and minerals. A little like the 08 Clos St.Denis, here is a mouthful of structure that to an extent obscures the fruit, but finally the fruit comes to the fore as you head into a very good finish.

2009 Heresztyn Gevrey-Chambertin Les Corbeaux

By billn on January 26, 2011

The nose is very tight, but in the mouth the flavours are very round, complex and fine. Admittedly there’s plenty of oak-derived flavour too but it doesn’t make it any less engaging. Whilst a little tannin sticks to your gums, it is more of an afterthought.

2009 Heresztyn Gevrey-Chambertin Champonets

By billn on January 26, 2011

Again the nose is a little tight but it is both darker and deeper than the Corbeaux – slowly a warm core of fruit develops. Mouth-filling structure again forms something of veil between you and the flavours – which is released the moment you swallow – serious wine!

2009 Heresztyn Morey St.Denis Les Millandes

By billn on January 26, 2011

Tight but with a smoky, mineral centre – but that centre seems quite distant. More mineral and mouth-filling again but also more linear than the previous wines. The veil is once-more lifted when you swallow. Again this is a very serious wine which will beg some aging.

2009 Heresztyn Clos St.Denis

By billn on January 26, 2011

The nose is as tight as a drum. Again there is plenty of structure – a lovely core of acidity and flavour that grow in tandem – becoming rather intense. The flavour really clings to your gums. Long-term wine that is very serious – the last drops in the glass offer up a gorgeous note of violets.
