Boisset Jean-Claude

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Hautes Côtes de Nuits Chardonnay

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Picked at 14° potential – there were lots of millerande bunches says Grégory. 2,700 bottles – only in screw cap. Faint sulfur on the nose, otherwise it’s fine enough. Less fat than the Mâcon, but clearly more power – very impressive – it also lingers well. You would never guess Hautes Côtes – test some friends blind! – really super.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Chambolle-Musigny Les Borniques

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

A near neighbour to Musigny. Medium, medium-plus colour. Heavy red fruit aromas that again manage to give the impression of silkiness. Sexy, full, background tannin – really interesting – even a line of minerality. This is a very serious wine which I would suggest to leave in the cellar a few years – super.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude St.Aubin

Harvested on the same day as the aligoté, reared in 400 litre barrels – Grégory says that his aim is more minerality and less oak. Pale colour, penetrating nose. Direct and mineral with super acidity packaging the sweetness. Super.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose is less forward that the Borniques. Sweeter, well packaged flavours, still decently structured. Excellent length, this is a very pretty wine that will be a nicer drink today than the Borniques – 5+ years ahead I expect the Borniques will pull ahead.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Marsannay Blanc

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

The third vintage for this cuvée. Very pale yellow. High tones, very fine yet an extra depth of fruit aroma. Again there’s a beautiful blend of acidity and sweetness. Finally a small savoury element in the finish – super (again!).

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Gevrey-Chambertin Le Creot

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Four barrels from the slopes of Brochon. A pretty and refined nose of red berries that are underpinned by another fainter dimension of fruit. Very stylish – like the Chambolles but with more tannin. Very nice dark flavours.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Morey St.Denis Monts Luisants Blanc

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

A wine I bought in quantity with a 2006 label. Pale colour – high-toned and fresh – a single 1 year old barrel was needed for the production of 270 bottles. Very pure, density with balance. Good length. Not as tropical as the 06, but it’s fine and lovely.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Gevrey-Chambertin Cazetiers

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. Wide and very pretty high-toned aromas that are backed by a faint caramel note. Texture, ripeness, dark-fruit flavours and understated tannin – still well structured though. This is really excellent and long, if rather understated cuvée.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Fixin Blanc

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

90% chardonnay, 10% pinot blanc. Wide and fresh aromas. The pinot blanc seems to provide a little more density. Some baked bread flavour in the mid-palate adds to relatively savoury flavours. Good length – quite nice I would say.
