2008 Ravaut Gaston et Pierre Ladoix Blanc

By billn on December 02, 2010

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.

On the nose there’s darker red fruit, more impact and density too. This is a little fuller and offers more structure balanced with a mid-palate flavour that lingers into the finish. Mouth-watering flavour – very good.

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.

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.

2008 Ravaut Gaston et Pierre Corton Les Hautes Murottes

By billn on December 01, 2010

Wide and ripe with a nice floral dimension. Supple, narrow, then it widens across the palate. Powerful yet supple with a hint of bitter-chocolate in the lingering finish.

By billn on December 01, 2010

Yet again there is a floral dimension to the aromas, perhaps a little licorice too – I love the aromatic complexity. Round, supple and full flavoured. Friendly but not facile Corton.

2008 Ravaut Gaston et Pierre Bourgogne Pinot Noir

By billn on December 01, 2010

Nice colour. Lovely red pinot fruit aromas of good depth. Fresh, but not too fresh. The mouthwatering flavours have just enough sweetness. A steal at €7.50

2008 Ravaut Gaston et Pierre Côte de Nuits Villages

By billn on December 01, 2010

Good high tones over a depth of fresh, dark red berries. Wider and fuller with very good flavour – more-so in the mid-palate. A little more structured – excellent, even before you see the €10 price.
