2004 Ardhuy Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes

By on October 31, 2005 #asides

Bottled in September. I was tempted not to include this as I’d like it all for myself! A reticent nose that needs quite some coaxing from the glass – it’s worth the effort though. This is one of those transparent and haunting noses that stay in the glass long after you drain it – very lovely. Real concentration on the palate, just a little fat, with flavours that are exquisitely precise. This is a really lovely wine – warmly recommended, provided there’s enough left for me.

Bottled in September. A little tight, but still gives up ripe blue and red-skinned fruit on the nose. The palate is nicely put together, well balanced and mouthwatering with quite a fine tannic base. A well-crafted villages.

2004 Ardhuy Nuits St.Georges

Bottled in September. From a south-facing slope very close to Les Argillières. The nose is also a little tight, though pure cherry fruit is evident. In the mouth there’s a darker aspect to the presentation – very good tannins and fine acidity. There’s lots of material here – a very high quality villages.

2004 Ardhuy Pommard Les Fremiets

Bottled in September. A nose of purest fruit, linear yet still quite forward. This is also quite ripe, but has both a good texture and a very fine length – not flabby or warm finishing despite the ripeness. Very well made again.

2004 Ardhuy Puligny-Montrachet

By on October 31, 2005 #asides

A forward and fruity nose that majors on pear whilst retaining some elegance. Ripe (~13.7°), the acidity is fine as it rolls you into a very nice fruity finish. The mid-palate is a little subdued by comparison, but this is a fine villages Puligny and I will probably buy a few bottles.

2004 Ardhuy Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Peuillets

By on October 31, 2005 #asides

Bottled in September. The nose has sweet, forward primary fruit – plenty of floral aspects too. Concentrated, some fat coupled with sweet, very ripe fruit (~14%). Despite the high alcohol it’s not a bruiser of a wine, coming across as quite balanced. Modern, fruit-driven but excellently executed.
