This has medium, medium-plus colour. Tight, but a deep, brooding core of fruit topped by spiced red fruit, perhaps a trace of coffee too. The palate is also a little tight, but the texture is not bad, the tannin is relatively fine-grained with just a hint of astringency. Good balance of acidity but the fruit is now clenched around the core structure. Slowly mouth-watering. Relatively closed, but seemingly with everything in place – two bottles remain in the cellar – next one at 10 years of age I’d say.

Fermented with 40% whole clusters and bottled in June 2009. A bright, medium cherry-red. Medium intensity friut-forward aromatics and understated Vosne spice. This has more dimension and fuller texture versus the Bourgogne. Very good balance, a slight rasp to the tannin though again just a little subverting CO₂. Long finishing. Very good.

The last bottle of this was very good, and only drunk around two years ago, this bottle is not to the same standard. This one has a little volatility – slight cola – and some meaty aromas. The acidity is slightly lifted and there’s still just a hint of astringency showing from the tannins if you look hard enough. Decent length, but not so much love today. It was anyway my last bottle.

Some meaty depth on the nose, covered by a slightly alcoholic note. Lots of acidity, tannin that only shows itself in the mid-palate and certainly some dimension. This, today, needs either a little more density or ripeness to offset acidity that has a tart edge to it. Just a trace of bitterness in the finish.

Medium, medium-plus colour with a little salmon colour at the rim. Slightly herby over tight red fruit notes. Plenty of grainy, though not astringent tannin. There’s good acidity and decent length too. Competent and reasonably interesting.

Fresh, dense fruit on the nose. Concentrated and rather well textured. Good length and no obvious oak. A very nice introduction.

A nice density of fruit on the nose. Sweet, but not too sweet fruit and some savoury elements. Good tannin grab and overall dimension. Very nice this.

High tones and lots of pretty red fruits on the nose. Sweet red fruit and a grainy tannin that slowly creeps up on you. . Balancing acidity and a good long finish. A nice start.

Aromas that are high toned and a little floral. Ripe, sweet fruit, good concentration and a faint grain to the tannin. Some barrel flavour on the finish, but this is still rather good.

Burgundy Report

is special because...

Although this site has to support itself, and its author, everything in these pages is eventually free to view. With 350-400 domaine visits and many blind tastings per year, you won’t find that level of coverage and openness elsewhere!

I don’t ‘score‘ but I do actually recommend which wines to buy from which estates – instead of hiding behind an anonymous 94/100 score – does that mean buy or not? We should be told!

The monthly reports for subscribers reverts to ‘free-access’ after a little more than two years, because the whole ethos of Burgundy is sharing – Burgundy Report too – in this case, sharing the passion…
