Ravaut Gaston et Pierre

2009 Ravaut Gaston et Pierre Ladoix Le Bois Roussot

By billn on October 24, 2011

Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose is an interesting thing – this reminds me of a 2005, I think that’s my first time ever with a 2009! Concentrated fruit – essence of raspberry – some high-toned, slightly alcoholic notes and dried herbs. Cool and concentrated with plenty of acidity, though far from too much. The flavour lingers on a (very) dark red fruit note. Relatively narrow in the mid-palate but with decent intensity, only a medium-plus (or so) length, but overall this is a quality wine – and did I mention the price…(?)

Very pretty fruit-driven aromas. For this level the mid-palate depth is good and the flavours linger very well. Nice entry-level wine.

There is a little fruit under a waft of high-toned aromas. Sweet and quite supple, both the concentration and finish are pretty good. I’d like a little more energy but there’s certainly plenty of wine here.

The nose offers a width of herbs and an overall impression that recalls Charlemagne – super. Round, silky and soft, the concentration is very good. With slowly fading flavours this is excellent for its level.

Higher toned with plenty of herbs – lovely clear definition. Lots and lots of mid-palate flavour; pear, hints of coconut. I’d like a hint more acidity yet there is no lack of mouth-watering flavour in the finish

Deep, quite tight aromas (the bottle is v.cold) of fruit. Full in the mouth but with the requisite energy. A hint of minerality before the fruit hits, edged with subtle barrel flavour. Super value here and the last drops have a hint of caramel about them.

The darker-red fruit aromas have a lovely depth and slowly a floral width develops too. Fuller with very good depth of flavour – you can almost taste the violets! Lovely.

2008 Ravaut Gaston et Pierre Aloxe-Corton

The nose holds a deep red note. The palate is reasonably wide and is coupled to supple tannin – actually this seems to get wider and wider! Subtly long a lovely wine that’s already sold-out at the domaine.

2008 Ravaut Gaston et Pierre Aloxe-Corton 1er

By billn on December 01, 2010

A blend of three premier crus. The nose has some higher tones and seems quite powerful. Full, satin texture and very nice balance. There is an extra density to the flavour and again, here’s a wine with a floral element to the finish.
