2005 Angerville Marquis d' Volnay 1er Cru

By on October 31, 2007 #asides

From 2 assembled 1ers. Just a little simple and clean confiture on the nose. Clean and flavour-packed with slightly prickly acidity but lovely fruit. I would certainly buy this.

A soft and yet tight nose – giving little away. Mouth-filling and perfectly ripe in a slightly confiture way. But its like a comfy armchair you can sink into.

Medium-pale lemon yellow. The nose needs a little while to widen, perhaps a little white blossom. The palate is intense and soft, sweetly ripe. The acidity seems quite understated – but there’s much more density to this wine than in most vintages, it even has some focus. For the price, very impressive.

A tight and clean nose. This has more tannin, but it is soft and cuddly tannin. There is darker fruit here – very well presented – but I have slight preference for the ‘basic’ 1er cru over this.

This is the second wine from the Clos de Tart. Relatively deep ruby-red colour, still a little cherry-red at the rim. The nose is deep, ripe and serious. In the mouth, you have a really excellent texture, warm red fruit with a faint spice. The tannins are quite ‘executive’ despite the declassification and the acidity is very well judged. This is no shy and retiring wine, but has really super balance. Highly recommended.

The nose is understated but shows a subtle width. In the mouth there is also a nice width and lovely complexity – this is very fine – and no fat! Very, very lovely.

A wide nose but not so deep. This shows as a cross between the previous two wines but with considerable better length. Very nice indeed.

2005 Mortet Thierry Chambolle-Musigny Aux Beaux-Bruns

The nose is tight – eventually showing clean and pretty red fruits. Less grippy than the last Gevrey, high-toned fruit in the mouth and very good length. This is a very nice bottle.

Depth on the nose and little brioche. The palate has some fat and to be honest I’d prefer a touch more acidity but the finish is nice and leaves your mouth watering for the next sip. A good wine.
