2008 Boisset Jean-Claude Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jeunes Rois

By billn on April 14, 2010

Pretty, high-toned aromas of precise dark red fruits. There is grainy tannin but on a relatively low level. Cool, fresh fruit – overall very understated but confident.

A very pretty nose of soft, smooth red/black fruit. In the mouth there’s a width of very pretty fruit with decent mid-palate dimension. Long – lingering on perfect, mouth-watering acidity. Super.

A wine I bought in quantity with a 2006 label. Pale colour – high-toned and fresh – a single 1 year old barrel was needed for the production of 270 bottles. Very pure, density with balance. Good length. Not as tropical as the 06, but it’s fine and lovely.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Gevrey-Chambertin Cazetiers

Medium, medium-plus colour. Wide and very pretty high-toned aromas that are backed by a faint caramel note. Texture, ripeness, dark-fruit flavours and understated tannin – still well structured though. This is really excellent and long, if rather understated cuvée.

90% chardonnay, 10% pinot blanc. Wide and fresh aromas. The pinot blanc seems to provide a little more density. Some baked bread flavour in the mid-palate adds to relatively savoury flavours. Good length – quite nice I would say.

Three barrels produced. Medium, medium-plus colour. Forward red fruit aromas with just a hint of reduction in the background. More obvious structure than the Cazetiers but it is well packaged by ripe fruit. A good Gevrey-style finish. This is a good wine (for-sure) but I’d opt for the Cazetiers.

Pale colour. I may say such a thing, this has a Puligny-style nose. In the mouth it’s full, fresh, has super minerality and an extra mid-palate dimension to the fruit – wow, frankly outstanding!

Medium, medium-plus colour. A good width of aromas – mineral mixing with high tones. Plenty of structure here, and an excellent burst of interest in the mid-palate. Slowly lingering, this is a very good wine.

Pale colour. An understated nose of ripe fruit. Super mid-palate dimension and a mouth-watering finish – actually a super finish. Long and very tasty.
