Boisset Jean-Claude

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Dominode

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

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

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.

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 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 Gevrey-Chambertin Champonets

Three barrels produced. Medium, medium-plus colour. Forward red fruit aromas with just a hint of reduction in the background. More obvious structure than the Cazetiers but it is well packaged by ripe fruit. A good Gevrey-style finish. This is a good wine (for-sure) but I’d opt for the Cazetiers.

2006 Boisset Jean-Claude Morey St.Denis Les Monts Luisants

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

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.

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.

2006 Boisset Jean-Claude Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gains

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

Raised completely in one year-old barrels. Intense fruit on the nose. Superb concentration, mineral with a fine spine of acidity and many, many dimensions. Super complex and very fine. Yum.

2006 Boisset Jean-Claude Santenay-Maladière

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

Raised in 20% new oak. Wide, understated ripe fruit on the nose. The first impression is the mineral length and a slowly evolving, soft fruit coating filling the mouth
