2004 Bertagna Chambolle-Musigny

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

From old vines. Closed on the nose. Bigger in the mouth, good acidity and nicer tannins – a little more structured than the village Vougeot. Again from the mid-palate the fruit really shines – should be a really nice wine.

The nose is tight, just a little red-berry influence. Wide and mouth-filling palate – a real increase in interest, but not quite the extra mid-palate depth to the fruit. Good wine.

Tight nose with an oaky edge. The wine has a very good texture and fat, the tannin combines well with the fruit. Quite long too, though I prefer the villages.

Tight nose, yet still some interesting high tones and an edge of oak. The palate seems to have just a little extra structure vs the previous wines. Very good length too. This is a very nice wine.

This also a little tight but shows some sweet red fruit. Fatter with good texture, lovely balance and good length. A very good wine.

Tight-shut, swirling eventually brings a little sweetness. Palate has furry tannin – quite velvety. Lovely depth to the fruit and good length. Some complexity here – this is a super wine.

Closed – almost no smell. The tannins are more to the fore vs the Vosne. Good fruit with nice depth to it. Very good length, though the tannin is just dominating. Give this 3-4 years in the cellar to soften.

Again, almost no nose. A lovely palate – real extra dimension from the mid-palate onwards. The length and balance are first rate. This is a very fine wine.

Closed. Not fat, rather supple and lithe. Concentrated with lovely depth and intensity plus almost good tannins. Not as ‘big’ as the Clos St.Denis but there’s great poise to this wine – lovely.

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…
