2009 Heresztyn Gevrey-Chambertin Champonets

By billn on January 26, 2011

Again the nose is a little tight but it is both darker and deeper than the Corbeaux – slowly a warm core of fruit develops. Mouth-filling structure again forms something of veil between you and the flavours – which is released the moment you swallow – serious wine!

Tight but with a smoky, mineral centre – but that centre seems quite distant. More mineral and mouth-filling again but also more linear than the previous wines. The veil is once-more lifted when you swallow. Again this is a very serious wine which will beg some aging.

The nose shows lots of width with some subtle complexity. This is another wine starts relatively narrow in the mouth but gets wider and wider. Lovely balance and very nice indeed.

The nose is fine and understated. A narrow entry that is reminiscent of the aligoté until it widens across the palate. Beautiful length – very, very pretty.

(Blanc) The nose is both wide and concentrated – yet admirably fresh. Wow, very mineral and quite explosive in the mid-palate too. No-one would guess Beaune-blanc – Chapeau!

Deep and round – quite some energy to the aromas. Fuller and more concentrated than the Chorey, yet has the energy to be quite lithe. Lovely flavour of fruit in the mid-palate that fills out more as you enter the finish. Really this is very, very super.

The nose is full and dense – dark fruit aromas. Also full and concentrated in the mouth, with lovely acidity. A big wine – but is sold out!

Eighty percent new oak. The aromas need coaxing from the glass; no oak just silky dark fruit. Velvet textuire and very concentrated – this is one big hill of flavour that decays oh-so slowly. Superb!
