Bourgogne Pinot Noir

2002 Groffier Robert - Père et Fils Bourgogne Pinot Noir

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

Shiny medium cherry-red colour. Sweet cherry skins over an earthy base, perhaps a transient note of oak toast. The palate has a little more density and sweetness vs the Bourgogne Epineuil that came before it. The acidity is pretty good with a not-bad finish, though frankly this needs just a little more to provide excitement. Well crafted and a nice wine but just a little dull

2002 Bouchard Père et Fils Bourgogne Pinot Noir

By on October 31, 2004 #asides

A bright, medium ruby-red colour. The nose is a little reticent but there’s faint, sweet cherry with a developing orangey note. The palate doesn’t boast the concentration you’ll find in Bouchard’s Bourgogne Chardonnay, but given the price, this is very good. The finish betrays a little taint – which is a shame – but this is more than almost good for €5 in the French supermarket.
