Bouton Gilles

2009 Bouton Gilles St.Aubin Murgers des Dents de Chien

By billn on May 23, 2011

Medium, lemon yellow. There is much depth to the nose and some toasted bread aspects too – this is a very good start. More depth and a little more tension after the Chatenière. I’d still like a little more zip, but this is a classier delivery. Nice wine, exceptionally priced.

Medium, medium-pale lemon yellow. A very pretty, slightly waxy aroma with a equally pretty sweet yellow fruit with just the occasional sensation of sulfur. Across the tongue there is a mineral flavour and just enough acidity. There’s not the greatest of intensity and frankly I’d like a hint more acidity, but it’s quite well balanced and finishes very nicely. No fireworks, rather understated competence. This is the price of many a bourgogne so hard to complain. In the end this and one other bottle from the case were about the same – all the others were much finer.

The nose has quite subtle oak – a little toasted bread. Lovely freshness in the mouth, again with good intensity and a long, quite stony flavour.

The nose is higher-toned, a ripe core of fruit with some surrounding herbs. Again, clean and fresh flavours of decent intensity – very tasty.

The nose shows complex if slightly dense aromas. Again there’s fine freshness for the vintage – length too. More mineral flavours slowly reveal themselves though to be honest it doesn’t seem such a big jump from the previous wines – it’s understatedly impressive length not-withstanding.

(Red) Dark, precise, lovely aromas – yum. Also in the mouth there’s lots of interest; grainy tannins, flavour of agrumes – long lasting and mouth-watering. Another wine on the shopping list!

Certainly a lesser-spotted wine – but with great merit – to the producer too for not ripping out the vines for more profit; chardonnay equals Puligny-Montrachet here! Very fine red fruit aromas. Full and round. A good concentration of flavour – which seems to keep growing. Super-fine and lovely!
