2008 Esmonin Frédéric Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

By billn on March 22, 2011

The nose offers a nice, slightly creamy red fruit. Very good balance, plenty of extract and long too – good fruit, not too sweet.

More spice and herbs on the nose. Higher-toned flavours, dark fruit brings lots of interest – a lovely burst of flavour in the mid-palate that follows the acidity into the finish.

’Only’ forty percent whole clusters. The nose starts dark but quickly opens up higher tones too. Lovely soft texture, this wine rolls over your tongue like it was made to measure – fab!

A blend from three parcels. The nose has beautifully clean lines; dark red fruit. Full, silky and grows in the mid-palate. There’s a little chocolate on the finishing note. Lovely balance – bravo!

Medium colour. Lots of width that hints of fruit conserve. This is a light-bodied wine but I have to say, one which really holds your interest.

2008 Heresztyn Chambolle-Musigny

The nose is wider and only a little more delicate. Satin tannin and again the flavour grows in the mid-palate. Once-more with a little chocolate in the finish.

2008 Chauvenet Jean Nuits St.Georges

Assembled from three separate parcels. Medium-plus colour. The nose has lovely dark fruit with a floral hint. Fuller, rounder and with lots of velvety tannin that attaches flavour to your gums. A nice fresh face with dark flavours in the finish.
