I should really post my weekend wines – before I forget them! – eh? Particularly as the Jadot is second only to the ’71 Chambertin this year…
2007 L+A Lignier, Morey St.Denis 1er Cuvée Romain Lignier
Relatively deep colour for an 07. The nose is pure, deep Morey and I like the weight. In the mouth there’s also plenty of weigh, the dark fruit coming in waves. Balanced, expressive and drinking rather well. Lovely wine.
Rebuy – Yes
2010 Rapet, Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Ile des Vergelesses
A wine with a complex, herby, sometimes green sometimes fruit nose – move from a Spiegelau Zalto Universal lookalike to a Riedel pinot Vinum and this shows more bass notes and more weight of fruit aroma. In the mouth there’s a textural roundness, balance and then a fine extra dimension of 1er cru flavour in the mid-palate and finish. Very good!
Rebuy – Yes
1993 Domaine Louis Jadot, Clos de Vougeot
Ouf! Now we are talking – a simply beautiful, mature, complex and really quite forward nose. In the mouth this has great texture until the tannin exerts a little grip in the mid-palate but that’s a fleeting impression as the flavour then literally explodes over the tongue and into the finish – wow indeed. This really needs all of another 10 years for full maturity, but what a wine. Magnificent…
Rebuy – Yes
