From within Morgeots – 2002 was the first ‘separation’ from the Morgeots cuvée. Aromas of herbs and flowers, high-toned and a little cream. Very nice texture. Clearly a wine of concentration, but a concentration that slowly creeps up on you – really impressive flavour in the mid-palate. Super.

The nose has width and concentration though the family nose of the other wines is replaced by a much warmer, creamier, less spicy personality. A little fat texture, very good acidity and lovely, lovely, wide flavours that linger very well. A beautiful wine that you would place as a Chassagne without sight of the label.

Classic, slightly masculine and certainly powerful aromas. In the mouth the power is obvious, but it’s balanced by a little ‘give’ in the texture, a sweetnes of fruit and very good acidity – this is lovely.

Aromatically this is about more delicate fruit and a mineral finesse. The acidity is slightly forward but it underpins lovely fruit flavours and a hint of mineral savouriness. Very long finishing. Very fine wine…

This came in at 14° natural – Caroline said they had to react very fast as the sugars really started to take-off. The aromas are much fuller, a little warm fruit, yet it is clearly tight at the core. Good acidity, concentration amd impact – yet it’s still light on its feet. This starts wide and slowly fades – no mid-palate burst, but it is very long finishing.

Medium, medium-plus colour. A width of red cherry-fruit greets your nose. Super acidity and a little astringency to slightly sticky, blocky tannins. Nice, long flavours – very nice fruit. This will need a little cellar time but will be an okay bottle.

Wow – don’t often drink from a jeroboam! Medium-pale yellow colour. The nose is understated but relatively fine – gives the impression of being very young. The palate has lots of interest and character – just as important, appears very well integrated. A very nice personality to this wine.
