2006

2006 Morey Marc Bourgogne Blanc

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Mainly high tones from this pretty and fine nose. Seems well concentrated – there’s plenty of wine here – but it has a slightly ‘raw’ aspect to it. Decent length, but I think it’s some way behind Pierre Morey’s Bourgogne which is also slightly cheaper.

2006 Morey Pierre Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Medium colour. High-toned, slightly mineral nose under-pinned with very nice fruit. Ripe, tasty and clean with good concentration and plenty of energy and dimension. Excellent regional.

2006 Morey Pierre Bourgogne Chardonnay

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

High-toned aromas, quite intense, a little estery note somewhere, but overall fine depth. Quite rich, the acidity is just enough to balance, but the depth is superb for the appellation. Really fine.

2006 Mortet Thierry Bourgogne Rouge

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. A lovely unforced and rather precocious pinot nose. Also the fruit on the palate is surprisingly vibrant and pure. This is very enjoyable.

2006 Perrot-Minot Christophe Bourgogne

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. Not so wide, but has an interesting linear depth – fine and clean. Good concentration with ripe fruit and an understated structure. Quite nice.

2006 Maréchal Catherine et Claude Bourgogne Aligote

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Apparently made in a ‘hyperoxigenated’ way. Medium yellow. The first aromas are high-toned over a base of fruit that reminds me of pinot blanc. In the mouth it starts a little spritzy but slowly became softer in the glass. Blind, I didn’t guess aligoté. Reasonably long, relatively light bodied but with good balance.

2006 Tollot-Beaut Bourgogne

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

The nose impresses with its width and some creamy depth too. Nicely covers the palate – a little structure and nice balance. Good length – a very tasty bourgogne.

2006 Girardin Vincent Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-plus cherry-red. The nose is fruity, a little gassy and smells like cheap Beaujolais. Sweetly ripe, quite well balanced with a small edge of dissolved gas. Good length. Tastes like Beaujolais. Rock-stable for 2 hours.

2006 Jayer-Gilles Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose offers slightly diffuse width and a little toffee. Plenty of tannin and acidity. The bouncy fruit is almost good actually but I’d wait 1-2 years before revisiting for maybe a more balanced performance.
