2009 Latour Henri Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune

By billn on December 07, 2010

A good core of fairly deep red fruit aromas – eventually a clear raspberry note. There is a mirrored core of red fruit on the palate too that is coupled to excellent acidity and just a hint of tannic background. Fresh and tasty.

2009 Moreau Bernard Bourgogne Chardonnay

From the commune of Chassagne. They are looking for something accessible – not too complicated. No new oak This is smooth and forward, very nice aromas. Quite full and fruity with a well-judged balance – it makes a good start to your Saturday morning!

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.

2009 Ravaut Gaston et Pierre Bourgogne Chardonnay

There is a little fruit under a waft of high-toned aromas. Sweet and quite supple, both the concentration and finish are pretty good. I’d like a little more energy but there’s certainly plenty of wine here.

Very pretty fruit-driven aromas. For this level the mid-palate depth is good and the flavours linger very well. Nice entry-level wine.

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

Depth of slightly candied ripe fruit. Good flavour and balance. The flavour develops in the mid-palate – this is quite nice.

2009 Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc

Hints of yellow & green fruit. Nicely full, good acidity and ripe pear flavour in the mid-palate followed by stony flavour that lasts very well. Nice wine.

Burgundy Report

is special because...

Although this site has to support itself, and its author, everything in these pages is eventually free to view. With 350-400 domaine visits and many blind tastings per year, you won’t find that level of coverage and openness elsewhere!

I don’t ‘score‘ but I do actually recommend which wines to buy from which estates – instead of hiding behind an anonymous 94/100 score – does that mean buy or not? We should be told!

The monthly reports for subscribers reverts to ‘free-access’ after a little more than two years, because the whole ethos of Burgundy is sharing – Burgundy Report too – in this case, sharing the passion…
