2007 Terres d'Arômes Volnay Cave des Ducs

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

This is actually from the village lieu-dit of ‘Clos des Cave des Ducs’, sat high on the hillside on thin chalky soils – marnes blanches to the locals. Good colour. Tight on the nose, subtle fruit aromas. High quality in the mouth, clean yet very nicely textured with understated but mouthwatering acidity. Very pretty.

2007 Terres d'Arômes Volnay Mitans

Aromatically broader and deeper. A clear extra mid-palate dimension, a reasonable amount of velvet tannin too. More depth and longer lasting in the finish. A good premier cru.

2007 Terres d'Arômes Nuits St.Georges Charmottes

A nice, ripe, slightly caramel nose which slowly deepens – a darker fruit character than the Volnays. Good width, plenty of structure but intense too. Certainly more ‘masculine’ than the ‘Mitans’ that preceded it.

2007 Terres d'Arômes Nuits St.Georges Chaboeufs

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

One of three premier cru Nuits in the range. The nose starts a little tight and indistinct, very slowly building a clear red note. The palate is wide and energetic and shows plenty of structure. It’s a fun ride.

2007 Terres d'Arômes Gevrey-Chambertin

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

A blend of Brochon and Gevrey fruit. Vibrant colour – did I say how much I love the colours? An understatedly perfumed nose. There’s plenty of intensity here, decent structure and a mouthwatering finish.

A little more depth of colour with an edge of purple. Warm, faintly spiced over darker fruits. Good density, structure as necessary, dark red fruit and perfect acidity. This lingers very well with sweet fruits. I’m rather taken with this – lovely.

2007 Terres d'Arômes Corton Perrières

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

High-toned, some herbs and an undercurrent of ripe fruit. Fills the mouth, bathing your tongue with ripe tannin. There’s plenty of dimension though the impression is that the flavour narrows quickly from the mid-palate but then holds on very well. Nice wine.
