2007 Mischief and Mayhem Meursault Gouttes d'Or

By on June 30, 2009 #asides

Bottled in March. Ripe fruit aromas with perfectly integrated faint oak and hints of mint leaf. Mouth-filling with an extra edge of fat versus the Charmes. Lovely crystallised lemon fruit on the long finish. Lovely

The nose has less overt width, rather a really dense core of fruit – eventually becomes a little more

expressive with a faint brioche note. Clearly more concentration despite lower (13.5%) alcohol. Smooth

texture and much more minerality than the villages. The length again is quite savoury and mineral. Super

balance. Only ‘very fine’ versus the 2005’s ‘outstanding’, though the value clearly remains.

2004 Mischief and Mayhem Meursault Les Genevrières

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

Medium-pale yellow. Aromatic width with a lovely sweet brioche and faint citrus notes. This fills your

mouth with wide citrussy acidity and a super length. Lithe rather than fat and very moreish!

2005 Mischief and Mayhem Meursault Poruzots

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

Medium yellow. The nose shows nice floral tones over the faint brioche. The palate shows well-textured concentration with the acidity just bubbling away under the surface before breaking through into the mid-palate. An interesting extra edge of flavour before (very) slowly fading into the finish. A fine example.

2005 Mischief and Mayhem Volnay Clos des Chênes

A mineral nose with an undercurrent of red cherry. Lovely, with slightly plush concentration. The tannins are a little grainy but ripe and well-managed. Intense with a lingering finish. Worthy of the label.

2005 Mischief and Mayhem Pommard Le Clos Blanc

By on July 31, 2007 #asides

An impressively complex nose, interesting and high-toned. Ripe, intense and again ripe tannin. Plenty of red-fruited, dense concentration. Very good.

2005 Mischief and Mayhem Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot

By on July 31, 2007 #asides

Bottled at the end of February. The nose is high-toned and shows nice depth. This is quite big in the mouth, there’s plenty of fruit extract and just the right amount of acidity to whisk you into a good finish.

2005 Mischief and Mayhem Meursault Charmes

By on July 31, 2007 #asides

It’s a nicely characteristic nose, some high tones over roast nuts. The palate has a nice, lean minerality and very good acidity to match. Fast on its feet, this is lovely – nice finish too.

2005 Mischief and Mayhem Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gains

By on July 31, 2007 #asides

A waxy, dense and impressive nose. Lovely minerality and super acidity that pushes long into a creamy finish. There’s a great extra dimesion in the mid-palate too. Just so communicative today – very lovely.
