2008 Dubreuil-Fontaine Beaune Montrevenots

By billn on April 08, 2011

Fabulous pure red fruit stops you in your tracks for a second. In the mouth it is fresh but balanced and again there’s a lovely depth of fruit that reflects the nose. Slowly lingering clear flavour – a beauty – lots of this made it home!

2007 Dubreuil-Fontaine Pernand Vergelesses Ile des Vergelesses

By billn on April 08, 2011

A complex nose, a little floral, more depth than the Beaune and with a musky ring around the fruit – lots of character here. Full and round, the tannin has a little more volume but is quite fine leaving a faint astringency. A caramel note suffuses the finish. Just so much to enjoy here – more for my cellar.

2009 Dubreuil-Fontaine Bourgogne Aligote

By billn on April 08, 2011

The nose is quite high-toned for the grape – some apple and pear rather than the more common savoury notes. Full and, actually, rather long finishing – if anything it might e a bit too full, but a good start to the day!

The nose is more herbal with green-skinned fruit – limes – narrower is aspect after the aligoté. In the mouth again some herbs and the sweet-sour of the vintage – perhaps a bit more of the sour – but on this nice sunny day, refreshing not jarring

Nice and ripe but understated fruit aromas. The palate is the same with lots of clean, steely acidity. Quite Cistercian! For drinking now on a hot sunny day – might get a bit mouth-puckering with time…

2007 Dubreuil-Fontaine Pernand-Vergelesses Sous Frétille

By billn on April 08, 2011

There is more aromatic density vs. the villages Pernand. Rounder with excellent texture, more complexity and super length. Looking at the price, what’s not to like(?)

2007 Dubreuil-Fontaine Pernand-Vergelesses Clos Berthet

By billn on April 08, 2011

The nose offers herbs and a slightly warm core of fruit. Full again but really open and right at the end there’s more length than the Sous Frétile.

The aromas are more generous than those of the 07 – enveloping – lovely. Rounder, with seemingly more acidity, no-wonder it also seems more intense. There’s good minerality too – today I’d rather drink this than the 07. Lovely wine.
