2006 Belland Roger Bourgogne Chardonnay

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Opens with sweet, candied fruit aromas and almost a little baked apple. Generously fills your mouth with sweet, slightly baked fruit – nice but not really classic.

2006 Damoy Pierre Bourgogne

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Quite deep colour. The nose shows floral tones and a nice depth. In the mouth there’s width and good acidity to go with the faint, furry tannins and a suggestion of dark oak. An excellent Bourgogne.

2006 Gros Frère & Soeur Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Medium colour. Forward, slightly savoury fruit aromas and a tough estery. Medium concentration with some obvious barrel notes. Reasonable length. Okay, but the oak treatment leaves this slightly ’soupy’.

2006 Guyon Bourgogne Pinot Noir

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

Bright, medium colour. The nose offers up, wide, high-toned glossy red fruit. Understated concentration yet it seems to grow in the mouth. The fruit is perhaps a hint estery, but it will be impressive to drink young.

2006 Bourée Pierre Fils Bourgogne Rouge

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

The only 2006 red that’s currently bottled. All the gapes come from the Côte de Nuits, mainly a mix of Gevrey and Brochon. The colour is medium-pale. A strikingly perfumed, wide nose – even at this level the stems are included. The taste is far from concentrated, but it is very interesting and wide. This is unlike any other bourgogne I can think of – really very pretty.

2006 Jadot Louis Bourgogne Chardonnay

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

Medium yellow. The nose shows faint bready notes over equally faint pear fruit. Quite full in the mouth, also quite dense. Whilst your mouth slowly waters after you swallow, it still seems to lack a little freshness. A reasonable finish, but just a little too clumsy and heavy…

2006 Seguin Manuel Bourgogne Pinot Noir

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

From several plots dotted around the Hautes-Côtes, Chorey and Savigny. The nose majors on a wide expanse of

strawberry fruit. In the mouth it’s soft, tasty and also shares the strawberry impression. Far from

‘simple’, there’s decent tannin behind and a good length. Very successful.

2006 Seguin Manuel Bourgogne Chardonnay

By on June 30, 2008 #asides

Only grapes from the Côte de Beaune, a mix of Hautes Côtes and from the village of Meursault. A forward and

fresh nose of faint brioche and attractive fruit. The palate is fresh and smooth and has a nice extra push

of flavour in the mid-palate. A very good generic.
