Faint spiced bread overlays a denser undercurrent of fresh plummy fruit that slowly transforms onto cherry
and even redcurrant notes. Good ripenes and slightly grainy tannin. There is a strong and wide impression
in the mouth that pushes unchanged into the finish. This would also benefit from a year in the cellar, but
is already quite drinkable and very tasty.
Bottled in February. Medium-pale yellow. A little more depth and a creamy note on the nose. Again a good
acid profile and a lovely burst of interest in the mid-palate. The lenght is savoury then without warning
there is a creamy burst of flavour that is reminiscent of a fine 1er cru. This is a very fine villages that
performs well above the label – it also gives no hint to it’s 14%.
The nose has less overt width, rather a really dense core of fruit – eventually becomes a little more
expressive with a faint brioche note. Clearly more concentration despite lower (13.5%) alcohol. Smooth
texture and much more minerality than the villages. The length again is quite savoury and mineral. Super
balance. Only ‘very fine’ versus the 2005’s ‘outstanding’, though the value clearly remains.
Bottled in March, this is almost an equal mix of wine from the north and south of the appellation. Medium
colour. Mineral-edged cherry fruit and some floral, violet notes. Well-balanced acidity and tannin melds
with good fruit. There is a little tannin clinging to the side of your mouth, but it’s supple and ripe.
Just a suggestion of coffee on the finish. This is a good villages.
A blend of two sites, one of 25 year-old vines planted near the road, the other of 60 year-old vines. The
nose starts rather mineral with hints of cedar and dark fruit – you really need to spend a little time with
the glass for it to open up with fruit, floral and even chocolate hints. This is very sophisticated in the
mouth, showing very fine tannins and a perfect freshness. A good burst of fruit that’s rather classy and
concentrated on the mid-palate. The finish lingers, then a little like the villages Puligny provides a
creamy reprise. It needs a couple of years in the cellar, but it will better an ‘average’ 1er cru.
Medium yellow. The nose shows nice floral tones over the faint brioche. The palate shows well-textured concentration with the acidity just bubbling away under the surface before breaking through into the mid-palate. An interesting extra edge of flavour before (very) slowly fading into the finish. A fine example.
