Boisset Jean-Claude

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

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

One of the rarer bottlings by JCBoisset winemaker Gregory Patriat – a single barrel, 295 bottles. Pale lemon yellow. A nose of creamy oak and bright pineapple fruit that slowly fades. Well textured and with perfect acidity. The flavours are ripe – not too much so – and tasty, but far from simple, I even imageine (perhaps) a little aniseed and coconut. Slowly fades. A super wine, and a fine buy.

Medium-plus cherry red. The nose is soft and heavy with cherry-red fruit accented by faint white pepper. Fills your mouth with ripe red fruit that widens in the mid-palate and takes on a slightly savoury element. The acidity is perfectly balanced, lingering in the mouthwatering finish. Understated concentration and intensity. Very primary though accomplished and tasty.

From 40 year-old chardonnay vines in Comblanchien, raised in 20% new oak. The nose is just a little reticent and diffuse. In the mouth it’s a narrow entry which slowly opens and provides lots of late arriving intensity – I like the personality here.

50 year-old vines in the south of the appellation, raised in 20% new oak. The nose is wide and high-toned with an underscore of pineapple. Wow – explodes in the mouth! It’s not amazingly long, but it’s very attractive and shows excellent value.

Four barrels from 2 parcels mainly just under Les Vergelesses. Rich and concentrated fruit on the nose. In the mouth it’s nicely concentrated, showing plenty of forward fruit and a lingering finish

From under Les Genevrières. The nose is reasonably precise, though not quite the focus of the St.Aubin but is quite fine. Lovely, balanced and fresh. Concentrated with a lingering finish.

The same amount of new oak, but from a different cooper – so more noticeable – but there’s plenty of depth below. A lovely mineral aspect couples to perfect acidity. It’s not fantastically long, but it’s very, very tasty.

Raised in 20% new oak. Wide, understated ripe fruit on the nose. The first impression is the mineral length and a slowly evolving, soft fruit coating filling the mouth

Twenty percent new oak, from 60 year-old vines just above the Clos de la Roche. The nose is quite different to the last wines – just focused red fruits. In the mouth there’s lots of interest and ever-more flavour through the mid-palate. Excellent!
