Mischief and Mayhem

2009 Mischief and Mayhem Bourgogne Chardonnay

By billn on November 17, 2011

Bottled in July 2010; a blend of St.Romain, Macon and grapes from the Puligny-Meursault border. The nose is fresh and shows nothing obvious of Macon. Mouth-filling, nice flavour and almost an impression of tannin in the mid-palate – serious dry extract here for such a label. The acidity is just about right. Good value here – just €11 ex-cellar.

2009 Mischief and Mayhem Saint-Romain

By billn on November 17, 2011

Elevage was 50% in stainless-steel and 50% 2 year-old barrels. Bottled in September 2010. A whiff of toast and perhaps a reductive note too – but below is a nice mineral impression which adds ripe lemon if you swirl. This is lithe, fresh and nicely intense – another St.Romain winner from this producer – this will be a lovely summer wine, but certainly more than a quaffer.

2009 Mischief and Mayhem Meursault

By billn on November 17, 2011

There’s a nice concentration to the aromas, ripe yellow fruit that’s framed with a hint of spice – 20% new oak here. Fuller than the St.Romain, this is quite concentrated, even a little rich but there is lovely expansion in the mid-palate and it seems completely balanced. A good wine that speaks of Meursault – what more could you ask?

Toasted bread on the nose plus an almost creamy roundness to the fruit aromas. This is both rich and very, very silky. Concentrated too – the overall balance being fine enough. Quite a contemplative wine I think…

2009 Mischief and Mayhem Meursault Charmes

By billn on November 17, 2011

There is a faint gingerbread and a very fine width to the nose – it even smells fresh. Indeed this is a fresh and energetic Charmes with good concentration and length too – I would say rather lithe in shape. Well done!

Medium yellow colour. High-toned ripe fruit with a hint of flowers. Clean and fresh, with a hint of savoury flavour plus a little soft texture. Starts a bit neutral but slowly leaches a little character. Nice finish.

2009 Mischief and Mayhem Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Forward, bright pinot fruit edged with floral aromatics. Faint, fine tannin. Quite supple with good flavour. You can certainly enjoy this today for what it offers. Very good for the label.
