2002 Pavillon Pommard Les Rugiens

By billn on March 22, 2011

Delicate hints of perfume light up the nose, eventually adds herbs too – rather complex. The flavour likewise delivers that same perfumed note together with dried dark fruits well matched to plenty of structure. Super.

2002 Boisset Jean-Claude Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes

By billn on January 25, 2011

From Gregory’s first vintage… Heavily scented, this seems quite mature for the vintage – though not the colour. Full in the mouth, plenty of tannin and good long flavours. Still a baby!

Hard for this to follow the Charmes. Good and interesting aromatic width – seems younger, but also less involving than the Charmes. Less concentrated but has super poise. Young and pretty villages.

2002 Esmonin Sylvie Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

The nose is slightly smoky; tight but still some dark fruit shows through – eventually very, very pretty. Very silky, mineral too. This starts quite Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose has hints of musk and warm, ripe berries. Soft and velvety – seems a little lush. Nice width and a growing note of flowers.

2002 Esmonin Sylvie Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.Jacques

Medium, medium-plus colour. Soft and very complex aromas. A lush impression and the lovely acidity is seemingly a perfect balance for the still young tannins. I’d say this is showing rather well for a ‘middle-years’ wine.

2002 Lafarge Michel Volnay Clos du Château des Ducs

Darker colour. The nose shows a real depth of darker fruits – very impressive if slightly less pretty than the 09s. There is still some tannin but again lots of depth to the flavours – a profound depth actually. Long, primary fruit flavours in the finish – I’m very impressed.

2002 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne

Wide and fresh aromatics with just a hint of herbs. There is lovely width, intensity and energy too – quite a silky texture. There is super mid-palate flavour. Yum.
