2006 Pavillon Pommard Les Rugiens

By billn on March 22, 2011

The nose has lovely high-toned perfume. Mouth-filling with plenty of tannin that still shows an edge of astringency. The finish is very understated, perhaps not the longest either. I’m surprised that I much prefer the 07.

2006 Pavillon Volnay Santenots

Hmmm – interesting wine. On the first sniff there was a hint of unwelcome aldehyde, on the second it was already transformed to flower petals. Slowly the aromas took on density if not so much depth. The flavour reminded me very-much of recently drunk Santenots – but on checking I was surprised to see that my last two were both from 2005, not 2006. There is width, a smattering of faintly astringent tannin and then a lovely extra dimension of creamy red fruit in the mid-palate. Just ripe enough and nicely plump yet almost good enough acidity. This is a very lovely glass and though perhaps missing a comparative hint of intensity, can stand next a decent bottle from 2005. Based on the price I paid, and by recent standards this is a super value bottle.

2006 Pavillon Corton-Charlemagne

Sourced from the south-facing Languettes and the first grapes harvested for the firm. The nose shows very focused, high-toned width. In the mouth its linear but with a little mid-palate richness and an understated power – but a balanced and mineral power. It’s certainly not a ‘look at me’ wine, rather one that efficiently delivers in-line with its label.

2006 Pavillon Pommard Clos des Ursulines

The nose is a little reticent, just deep understated fruit. In the mouth, smooth fruit amply covers the structure, but as the fruit slowly fades the structure slowly becomes more visible. Interesting wine and worth putting to one side to round out.

2006 Pavillon Meursault

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

From 8 separate, owned parcels, only grapes from the west side of Meursault. Wide on the nose with decent fruit. Penetrates the palate with nice concentration and super intensity for a villages. A nice finish too.

2006 Pavillon Pommard Clos Micault

Medium-plus colour and showing some purple. Powdery dark fruit on the nose. More intense fruit and again plenty of structure, but the tannin is quite fine and under control – a nice lingering finish too. Should be another value choice.

Made me smile when I asked where the vines were located – from the bottom of Hautes I was told! The nose is a little tight, but focused dark fruit and even a hint of coffee. The palate is layered and manages to overcome the big structure. Flavour clings long to your teeth. Very nice!

2006 Pavillon Meursault Charmes

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

A more forward and intense fruit nose. In the mouth this is very very concentrated and complex with tons of dry extract. Really, really long – clearly a more challenging drink today than the villages, but super quality.

2006 Pavillon Beaune Clos des Mouches Blanc

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

A riper and more savoury nose than the Meursault 1er. Ripe fruit, wider but less muscled – also an interesting length. This is a wine that envelops you and is really quite interesting for a white Beaune.
