Elevage for the first time in 450 litre casks – and for 18 months. Pale colour. Wide nose though not so deep. Rippling acidity with perfect packaging for the mix of mineral and sweet flavours – it lingers beautifully…

Seven barrels from 3 separate vineyards – all from the top of the village. Medium, medium-plus colour. Very pretty, perfumed and almost silky aromatics. Full of finesse, an extra mid-palate dimension of dark fruit flavours finishing with a faint astringency. Very serious villages wine – worth checking prices…
2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Bourgogne Aligote
From vines between St.Aubin and Chassagne-Montrachet that were picked 21st September at 12.5°, and raised in 25% new oak. Light colour. The aromas are high-toned yet savoury – like only aligoté seems to achieve. Seems nicely intense and shows super energy. Good flavour and length – what is not to like? – super.
2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Nuits St.Georges Lavières
From vines next to those of Leroy. Low yields on 07 – theoretically they could harvest 8 barrels – but they have only 4 – one of which was a new barrel. Medium, medium-plus colour. Chunkier red-fruit aromas that show good depth. Full, fleshy, ripe tannins and very good flavour. I’d say that this is of decent 1er cru quality – another wine to check pricing…
2006 Boisset Jean-Claude Morey St.Denis Les Monts Luisants
Medium colour. The nose is about hints of tar, licorice, blacker cherry and bramble fruit over a more mineral base. A narrow entry that widens in the mid-palate and pushes a long finish that’s borne on super acidity. Quite transparent and very interesting. Intense, though almost too understated because of its primary nature. Was a lovely bottle.
