Medium-plus yellow colour. The nose had plenty of struck match and savoury elements – even intruding on the (quite) big flavours. Initially seemed a little too fat. I decanted and returned after 3 hours. Smooth interesting and fruit driven aromas, the struck match is gone and the balance is better – or maybe my palate is better! It’s a concentrated and ripe impression – high quality.
Medium yellow. The nose starts with a dominating oak note, however, about 30 minutes from opening and things are much more refined – nicely deep fruit with a mineral core – simple but well done. Obviously lacks the concentration of a higher appellation wine, but what I particularly like is that the wine opens in the mouth with just an edge of cream going into the finish. It really does need about thirty minutes of air to balance out, but will be lovely summer wine.
A surprising amount of oak on the nose – not noticed this with my other bottles – but this is following a wood-free Chablis. The nose also reveals a broad palate of fruit. As always, super depth for a Bourgogne – though at it’s price-point it should really be compared with villages wines. My home stacks are shrinking, but I’ve enjoyed every bottle.
A honeyed yellow colour. The nose is quite intense with a deep, initially oak base that turns ever more honey and cream, just a little citrus topping too. As always, this wine shows the intensity and definition of a good village wine – but then it should, it’s always the price of some producers village wines! Hard to criticise at this AOC level, but I’d have liked just a touch more acidity. If you find some in a sale I wouldn’t (indeed I didn’t!) hesitate to buy a few.
