Bourgogne Chardonnay

1997 Jadot Louis Bourgogne Chardonnay

By on October 31, 2003 #asides

A medium yellow. The nose starts with a blast of fruit but quickly becomes more subdued – waxy with pineapple – with time a hint of wet wool. Nice weight in the mouth, reasonably sweet, certainly simple with medium length. Nothing to really dislike about this wine unless it warms up in the glass, if this happens the overall effect is a bit flabby and lacking balance. Kept chilled this is a very nice wine and still seems quite young.

1997 Remoissenet Père et Fils Bourgogne Chardonnay

A bright lemon yellow. The nose betrays a hint of old oak plus a little higher toned citrus. Reasonably fat with a blend of citrus and pear fruit. Good acidity and a medium finish make this a very pleasant wine. At first I thought this wine could happily be left a couple more years – but gradually you start to get a little hazelnut and perhaps an oxidised note on the finish – so why wait drink this now – it’s pretty good.
