2009 Moreau Bernard Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes La Goujonne

By billn on December 04, 2010

All the aging in barrels, but none new. No fining or filtration. This has plenty of colour. Very nice aromas, perhaps with a hint of smoke. Round and velvety with quite dark-shaded fruit. With slowly expanding mid-palate flavours this is an excellent Bourgogne.

The nose offers a width of herbs and an overall impression that recalls Charlemagne – super. Round, silky and soft, the concentration is very good. With slowly fading flavours this is excellent for its level.

This is very expressive, with yellow fruit and flowers. Fuller in the mouth with more flavour and a good extra extension of that flavour in the mid-palate. Sweetness, nice length – a very nice wine.

The nose is less exub erant than the Auxey; but shows detailed fruit aromas. Silky texture with understated acidity. Good mid-palate concentration and eventually length. The fruit is sweet but not too sweet – nice finish and very good value from the domaine.

Finer aromas and tighter, better defined flavours. Very good acidity, more linearity but very easy to drink. – sweet ripe fruit flavours come as afterthoughts.

Understated but pretty and fresh aromas – just slightly perfumed. Some tannin and good freshness on the palate too – then comes the flavour; dark red fruit that widens over the palate.

Nice dark fruit aromas. More impact and width, though with plenty of structure and flavour to match. Very, very good.

Fresher, quite pretty aromas – nice and clean. Given the extra padding there’s not the same freshness as the bourgogne, but a nice burst of flavour hits the mid-palate before slowly decaying into the finish.

Young vines. A classic, herby Chassagne nose. There is good freshness with a flavour that opens out and fills the mid-palate. Good wine.

Burgundy Report

is special because...

Although this site has to support itself, and its author, everything in these pages is eventually free to view. With 350-400 domaine visits and many blind tastings per year, you won’t find that level of coverage and openness elsewhere!

I don’t ‘score‘ but I do actually recommend which wines to buy from which estates – instead of hiding behind an anonymous 94/100 score – does that mean buy or not? We should be told!

The monthly reports for subscribers reverts to ‘free-access’ after a little more than two years, because the whole ethos of Burgundy is sharing – Burgundy Report too – in this case, sharing the passion…
