Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits

2005 Jayer-Gilles Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. A nose that has plenty of oak – dark, slightly toasty and sweet with fainter higher tones. Equally flavour-packed as the previous day’s Lejeune but less fat despite the oak quotient. Good acidity that leaks sweet flavour across the tongue. Plenty of oak but it certainly diddn’t turn me off. This is a very tasty, darkly fruited drink right now.

A nice, bright medium-plus colour. The nose shows plenty of spicy, deep-toned oak and eventually higher toned, slightly diffuse red fruit. The palate is less dense than the best 05 bourgognes and certainly less sweet/ripe than the majority, but still with a decent intensity, if lots of oak flavour. Actually pretty good with food, less interesting without. Cheaper, but short of the quality of last week’s Jayer-Gilles

Deep oaky toast on the nose – it’s not so bad though. Sweet and interesting in the mouth. Okay if you like the style.

A lovely wide and slightly spicy nose – 20% new wood was used. The palate reflects the nose with a wide and fresh, very lithe stance with a good finish. Great value.
