2007 Gerbet Marie–Andrée et Chantal Vosne-Romanée Les Petits Monts

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

A good width of fruit on the nose – it’s more complex than the last wine, but not quite so deep. In the mouth there’s a clear step-up in intensity and flavour – very nice, lingering red fruit and good, fine tannin. Very nice wine.

Finer, more fruit-driven aromas over a denser core of fruit. Much more intense, your tongue just waters and waters. There’s a creamy edge to the the slow trailing fruit. This is far from easy, but it’s a wow wine!

2007 Chevillon-Chezeaux Nuits St.Georges Les St.Georges

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

Medium-plus colour. The nose is deeper and wider but not quite so focused as the Bousselots. Super acidity and lots of very fine tannin. Long finishing with flavours of barrel and licorice. This will need lots of time but it’s very good and only €23 ex domaine…

2007 Gerbet Marie–Andrée et Chantal Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots

Aromas of deep red fruit if not that much width. After the Petits Monts this is more sumptuous though less complex. Decent tannin and a little dark oak flavour. A lovely finish borne of nice acidity.

2007 Champy Père et Fils Pernand-Vergelesses Les Fichots

By on February 28, 2009 #asides

All the corks are branded with bottling date, in this case week 47, 2008 (47.08) – so the week before my visit. Medium, medium-plus colour. a dark nose of nice fruit. Plenty of background tannin that is overlaid with lovely fresh fruits that linger well in the finish. Should be a good buy.

2007 Champy Père et Fils Pommard Grands Epenots

By on February 28, 2009 #asides

A much tighter nose. Plenty of tannin – but it’s not chewy. Darker, more concentrated fruit. This spent longer in older barrels to ‘polish’ the tannins a little. Tasty, though certainly requiring a little bottle age.

2007 Champy Père et Fils Corton

By on February 28, 2009 #asides

A blend of fruit from 3 locations that were all vinified together. A fresh width of fruit greets the nose but there’s also a tight core too. Eventually some mineral notes too. A world of difference from the Pommard with finer tannin and a much more obvious ripe fruit dimension. Actually there’s a good mineral streak too – this is super.

2007 Champy Père et Fils Beaune Les Reversées

By on February 28, 2009 #asides

Deeper, denser aromatics after the Pernand. In the mouth it’s more plump but is certainly not lacking acidity. Good typicity for a Beaune whites.
