2008 Muzard Lucien et Fils Santenay Clos Faubard

By billn on November 30, 2010

Again, nice dark aromas that are framed with some subtle reduction. Again this is relatively silky but is more direct and mineral – intensity is similar though. Very nice flavour – good wine.

The nose is quite fresh, slowly widening to a pretty effect and with a little cream to support the fruit below. Width of flavour, rather mineral with a good ‘clinging’ concentration – this really helps the length. Very, very nice.

Forming the south-west edge of Beauregards. The nose has dark and rather detailed fruit without any hint of reduction. Good freshness, this is well-packed with flavour. Some tannin clings to your gums but with it there is more flavour too.

The nose is fresh and wide, if not so deep – slowly develops a sweeter core of fruit. There is good minerality and the intensity almost bursts across the mid-palate before slowly decaying. This is lovely.

From just below Santenay’s windmill. The nose shows pretty red fruits, much redder than the ‘Mouches’, this one does show a little reduction too. Fuller, round and flavour-packed. There’s plenty of tannin and just a little astringency as you near the finish – but no problem – good wine.

The nose is floral and shows plenty of red fruit – quite engaging. Across the tongue this has sweetness dovetailed to good, slightly velvet structure.

The nose seems wider but less focused. The flavours show less impact than the Beauregard’s, however, are quite mineral and finely detailed. Fresh but not too fresh, finishing on a very pretty fruit note.

2008 Belland Roger Santenay Comme

Lots of aromatic depth. Fine tannin and very good acidity – though not the flavour impact that the nose suggests. Long finishing. A structured wine to wait a couple of years (or much longer) for.

By billn on November 30, 2010

Blanc. There’s a hint of savoury to the nose, baked bread perhaps. This is also rather full but combined with the acidity there is a little more intensity. A nice fresh, again stony finish – long too!
