2008 Belland Roger Santenay Comme

By billn on November 30, 2010

Lots of aromatic depth. Fine tannin and very good acidity – though not the flavour impact that the nose suggests. Long finishing. A structured wine to wait a couple of years (or much longer) for.

Higher-toned redder fruits, perhaps riper too. The same structure as the ‘Comme’ but more flavour to buffer it – even an extra dimension of flavour in the finish – very nice!

Depth, width and seemingly almost a texture to the nose. Fuller, everything is ‘extra’ versus the previous wines; flavour, balance, structure. This decays with less obvious flavour than the Gravières, but no less length.

2008 Belland Roger Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Pitois

By billn on November 30, 2010

Wide, very nice aromas with a little herb (like Chassagne whites). The flavour is slightly more mineral than the Santenay with a similar intensity though a darker and fuller mid-palate of fruit.

A mix of flowers and stones on the nose. Warmer fruit at the core, surrounded by velvet – but plenty. A long straight line of flavour into the finish. Good 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…
