jc boisset 2005 savigny 1er serpentière
2005 Jean-Claude Boisset, Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er La Serpentière Deeply coloured with a purple rim. Wide and high-toned aromatics on opening, very slowly deepens with black cherry and a snip of cream. Lithe entry, expanding in the mid palate with perfect acidity. The well-covered tannin is quite silky. Read More
jc boisset 2005 savigny 1er hauts jarrons
2005 Jean-Claude Boisset, Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Les Hauts Jarrons From 45 year-old vines. Frankly on opening this reminds more of shiraz than pinot – Clarendon Hills style – you can take that as a criticism. The colour is deep purple – only just see-thru. The nose starts… Read More
2004 à la coccinelle
I think I was possibly the first to publicly raise and discuss the ‘vintage character’ of 2004 reds – anecdotally whites are also affected – Christophe Roumier is one who says this – but I’ve not experienced any obvious examples, so from here-on, red it is…… Read More

2017 Jean-Claude Boisset, Meursault Limozin Almost a textured depth of aroma – certainly cushioned – modestly oaked and of ripe but not exotic fruit.

saturday wines…
2010 Jean-Claude Boisset, Auxey-Duresses Les Crais I’d quite forgotten I had these – two were found while ‘rooting’ for other stuff. The cork is a good one. Hmm – now that’s quite a deep colour – that said, it’s one of those that inexplicably lightens in colour… Read More
