Claudie on 2021:
A producer with a reach of 50 hectares – 25 that they cultivate/own and a further 25 that they have on contracts – but the latter didn’t want to share all their grapes in 2021 as they had so little so here it’s only about one-third a normal volume. “The maturity was very good – 12° or more – but probably because there weren’t a lot of grapes. The wines were hard to taste when we were moving them to barrel – they only filled out during elevage. Not all is bottled yet but a large part is done.”
Claudie on 2022:
“2022 definitely more volume – and it was needed. The malos are just about all done now. It’s a vintage where the pHs are quite high – but the wines are tasting well, so lets see.”
The wines…
Catching up with just a short tour of some already bottled wines. Good quality – sometimes covetable!
Wines already bottled:
2021 Meursault 1er Cras
Bottled about 2 months.
A lovely aromatic width – that’s a fine Meursault nose. In the mouth too – almost a chiselled, vibrant energy – salinity – holding well – that’s a simply excellent wine to start the week!
2021 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Sous Frétille
A more toasty and faintly reductive nose – a clearly Pernand wine. More supple, wide, and growing in intensity. Lots of finishing width – lemon citrus and fine finishing waves of finishing flavour – that’s really super!
Les Reds:
2021 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Les Serpentières
Lovely vibrant fruit aromas – fresh, red and inviting. Mouth-filling, keeping the energy of the nose – rather too easy to drink already but with super balance – finishing broad with only faint finishing bitters – long – sustaining very well – a very attractive Savigny.
High-toned floral perfume – that’s a beauty. More direct. Attractive, cool fruit – a little well-integrated barrel – a super complexity here – this is simply excellent – and so beautifully constructed too – keep it as long as you like – despite how delicious it is today. Potentially bravo!
2021 Domaine Beaune 1er Grèves
A hint of more colour. A little more muscular width but the cushioned fruit remains very attractive and slowly becomes more perfumed with air. Plenty of structure and decent intensity too – the barrel flavour is present but not too distracting – perhaps a little barrel tannin but that will be largely gone in 6 months. More finishing bitters here – dark chocolate – for keeping 2-3 years to start with but here’s a wine that can have a long life. The finish fading but still with some intensity.
2021 Domaine Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cazetiers
More aromatic width – some barrel sweetness as is the style here. A structure that recalls the Grèves but silkier and fine – there’s much more precision and complexity here – that’s really a beauty – with an extra burst of finishing intensity – some caramel aspects at the end – a beauty!
