Bourgogne Pinot Noir

2008 Chauvenet Jean Bourgogne Pinot Noir

By billn on December 03, 2010

A nice medium-plus colour. The nose has an almost textured depth of dark red fruit. A little CO2 spoils the presentation of the tannin, but this is fresh in a good way and slowly lingering. Another six months in bottle plus a decanter will provide all the roundness needed.

Nice colour. Lovely red pinot fruit aromas of good depth. Fresh, but not too fresh. The mouthwatering flavours have just enough sweetness. A steal at €7.50

2008 Labet Pierre Bourgogne Pinot Noir

From vines in Chorey. Of course in 07 and 08 that meant a really strong sorting because of the whole bunch approach – almost 40% of the grapes were discarded! Medium colour. Lovely and very forward aromas of precise dark red fruit. Some slightly blocky tannin, very good acidity and crunchy fresh fruit. This is clearly a very accomplished wine for the label. I’d certainly buy this!
