2000 Faiveley Joseph Bourgogne Rouge

By on June 30, 2003 #asides

Medium cherry red. The nose is of earthy cooked red cherries against a faintly smokey background. Quite fat with soft tannins and good extension on the finish. A good Bourgogne and worth leaving for 1-2 years.

Medium-full cherry colour. The nose is of cooking cherries with a subtle undertow of oak and earth. Fresh acidity, concentrated cherry fruit and medium tannins. This is very serious for a Bourgogne – particularly in 2000. Very good wine and worth leaving for 2 years.

2000 Gallois Dominique Bourgogne Rouge

Similar depth of colour to the Drouhin wine, though shaded to ruby. The nose is cherry and raspberry with just a hint of turned earth. The palate shows black and red berried fruits. Dood acidity and smooth tannins. Nice length to the finish. Similar softness to the Drouhin, though with a touch more concentration. A good wine.

Medium-pale cherry colour. Sugared red fruits on the sweet nose. The acidity is fine and is coupled with light, smooth tannin. Relatively light bodied and very forward, this is a soft wine which would make a lovely aperitif.

2000 Groffier Robert - Père et Fils Bourgogne Rouge

Slightly animale nose with primary black fruit. For a Bourgogne this has excellent density and very good acidity. The tannins are quite grainy with blackberry and raspberry fruit. This is very nice wine and excellent Bourgogne.

2000 Arnoux Robert Bourgogne Rouge

By on November 30, 2001 #asides

Dark cherry colour. Nose is bright red cherry fruit with just a hint of strawberry. Nice acidity, mild tannin and bright primary fruits. Medium to light bodied, in fact reminiscent of a nice Fleurie but ‘sharper’. At just under £6 from the domaine good value. It’s a lovely drink now.
