2023 Henri & Gilles Buisson, St.Romain Sous la Velle
A great looking cork, topped with a little more than a mm of wax – a lozenge of wax…
Medium Yellow. The nose starts off biscuity and even suggests a little reduction. Wide, cool-flavoured, some density, and even a little structure. But that’s only if you’re looking, if you’re not looking, it’s just an easy, fresh flavour energy. The middle to finish bursts forward and lasts really well – but again, only if you’re looking. Mild-mannered or boisterously energetic – two faces of the same wine depending on where your attention lies 😉 – Oh, and yum!
Rebuy – Yes

1999 Heritiers Louis Jadot, Beaune 1er Clos des Ursules
The cork splits in two, but the lower part stays on the neck and comes easily out in one piece.
Plenty of colour. A round nose, with a small cushion and some floral complexity – nice. Ooh – this is a mouthful of perfume, still with a subtly rustic structural frame. It’s the flavour that pulls you in, delicious if still faintly drying from the tannin. What a baby, it’s a super wine. Clean and attractive, but it will continue to improve for another 20+ years. I’ll wait 3 or 4 more years for the next bottle – and I hope it’s more ready then, as I’ve 6 more 🙂
Rebuy – Yes
