Boisset Jean-Claude

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude St.Aubin

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Harvested on the same day as the aligoté, reared in 400 litre barrels – Grégory says that his aim is more minerality and less oak. Pale colour, penetrating nose. Direct and mineral with super acidity packaging the sweetness. Super.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes

Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose is less forward that the Borniques. Sweeter, well packaged flavours, still decently structured. Excellent length, this is a very pretty wine that will be a nicer drink today than the Borniques – 5+ years ahead I expect the Borniques will pull ahead.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Marsannay Blanc

The third vintage for this cuvée. Very pale yellow. High tones, very fine yet an extra depth of fruit aroma. Again there’s a beautiful blend of acidity and sweetness. Finally a small savoury element in the finish – super (again!).

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Gevrey-Chambertin Le Creot

Four barrels from the slopes of Brochon. A pretty and refined nose of red berries that are underpinned by another fainter dimension of fruit. Very stylish – like the Chambolles but with more tannin. Very nice dark flavours.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Morey St.Denis Monts Luisants Blanc

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

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

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

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.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Fixin Blanc

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

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.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Gevrey-Chambertin Champonets

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

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.

2006 Boisset Jean-Claude Morey St.Denis Les Monts Luisants

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

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.
