From vines planted in 1905 of which only about 5% have been replaced. Pure, very fine fruit that is mainly red shaded. Beautiful texture and balance – it has super, yet understated concentration. Very long finishing with mineral elements and a faint astringency – a clear buy!

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Chambolle-Musigny Les Borniques
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.

2006 Boisset Jean-Claude Morey St.Denis Les Monts Luisants
Medium colour. The nose is about hints of tar, licorice, blacker cherry and bramble fruit over a more mineral base. A narrow entry that widens in the mid-palate and pushes a long finish that’s borne on super acidity. Quite transparent and very interesting. Intense, though almost too understated because of its primary nature. Was a lovely bottle.
2006 Boisset Jean-Claude Morey St.Denis Les Monts Luisants
Medium-plus cherry red. The nose is soft and heavy with cherry-red fruit accented by faint white pepper. Fills your mouth with ripe red fruit that widens in the mid-palate and takes on a slightly savoury element. The acidity is perfectly balanced, lingering in the mouthwatering finish. Understated concentration and intensity. Very primary though accomplished and tasty.
