A good medium cherry red colour. The nose is a little subdued but is mainly red cherry. Sweet with good acidity and reasonably concentrated fruit. Unfortunately the tannins dominate – which is unusual in 2000. Still almost good this one.
Medium cherry red. The nose is a forward mix of cherries, cassis, oak and faint vanilla. Very smooth, slightly oaky and concentrated palate. The acidity is adequate and the medium density tannins are very fine. A very long finish. Priced higher than many 1er Cru’s – but probably worth the outlay. Excellent villages. I’d suggest leaving 3 or 4 years to tone down the oak influence which I find a little ‘blurring’, but no rush to drink for several years there-after.
Pale gold. Quite an understated nose of white flowers, peach and grapefruit. A more intense fruit experience than Leflaive’s bourgogne, still a little oak and almost good acidity. The finish is longer than the Bourgogne too. For best effect, I’d suggest leaving this for 2 or 3 years while you drink the Bourgogne!
A complete contrast to the last wine. Only medium ruby colour, just the slightest trace of cherry at the rim – looks like a 1997. The nose is of raspberry and strawberry confiture and a little earth – not at all confected despite the description and with time develops a raisin note. Medium concentration, though good volume in the mouth and good acidity with relatively light and very smooth tannin. The finish builds well, first slightly cooked fruit then a little earth. Elegant and moreish. Exceptional value direct from the domaine – 11 Euro plus taxes.
Quite deep, extracted looking ruby – still cherry red at the rim. The nose starts very dumb, given time it starts to betray a little oak but also quite deep cherry – shaded to black. The palate is quite smooth with good acidity and strong fruit. The finish is woody from the oak. Nice fruit, but currently trapped in a wooden box – I’d be interested to try this again in 4/5 years – hopefully it will be starting to coalesce.
