2008 Boillot Louis Pommard Les Fremiers

By billn on May 22, 2010

The 70 year-old vines deliver a nose with a core of dark red fruit. After the villages there’s an extra width of ripe but ‘clingy’ tannin. Lovely fresh red-fruit flavours that only slowly decay in the finish. Very nice!

2008 Boillot Louis Pommard Les Croix Noirs

By billn on May 22, 2010

From 80 year-old vines sited next to Rugiens. Pretty and precise red fruits, accented with toffee. The first impression is the wave of mouth-coating ripe tannin, the second wave is the burst of beautiful mid-palate fruit. Good length here.

2008 Carré Denis Pommard Les Charmots

There’s dark oak, perhaps a trace of reduction too but a little patience delivers a more licorice impression. Fills the mouth quite well with very supple tannin. Overall it’s a little soft, but a good wine all the same.

2008 Château Génot-Boulanger Pommard Le Clos Blanc

By billn on May 22, 2010

From vines bordering Grands Epenots. There’s a nice width of fruit aromas. Mouth-filling – there’s plenty of tannin to bathe in. Good flavour with black reflections before lingering into an understated finish. Almost good also.

2008 de Courcel Pommard Les Rugiens

By billn on May 22, 2010

High toned aromas of violets and red fruit – it’s a relatively rare wine that is showing flowers from 2008. Like the Grand Clos there is plenty of tannin here, the texture is like fine sand. The high-toned fruit in the mouth is plenty to balance that tannin. This will be excellent.

2008 Dubreuil-Fontaine Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Vergelesses

By billn on April 15, 2010

Nice to fine a wine with a red-fruited nose in this vintage. In the mouth even if it’s not so deep there is good width and a lovely flavour in the mid-palate. Balanced and with a good finish.
