2009 Latour Henri Meursault Vireuls

By billn on December 01, 2010

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.

Blanc. Lots of mid-palate density plus a hint of something spicy. Long finish – but I don’t get along with something in the flavour.

2009 Chavy-Chouet Meursault Clos des Corvées de Citeaux

By billn on November 29, 2010

Part of the appellation of l’Ormeau; 0.96 hectares which was an old property of the Cistercian monks who made a two metre wall around the vines, consequently it’s a hot place on a summer afternoon – one of the earliest ripening plots in Meursault. The nose is forward, wider and a hint sweeter. Concentrated and quite full in the mouth and not a little rich. ‘Cliché Meursault’ but a good one with fine length.

I hint of green in the colour. The nose is very pretty. Unctuous but balanced. This seems to have been less complicated by the bottling. I find it generous, and very good wine. I had to ask to taste this – I’m glad I did!

2009 Grivault Albert Meursault

The aromas are clean and very pretty. Balanced, ripe and a lovely mid-palate expansion of flavour. Good length too – this is quite impressive.
