2007 Roty Philippe Côte de Nuits Villages

By billn on April 18, 2010

Wide dark aromas with a hint of brûlée. A little fatter than the Marsannay Champs St.Etienne, a little more structure too. Back to the dark fruit. This lingers very well.

Aromatically wider. The structure is finer, more tailored. The linear, mineral flavours are more of an insinuation than overt fruit, but that flavour really sticks in the finish.

Virtually the garden of the domaine, but the paperwork is such a chore that the family do not waste their time pursuing a monopole label – though they are the only supplier. Deep, dark fruit but (hooray!) a hint of red too. Much, much finer tannin – if the last wine was ‘tailored’, this wears an executive suit. Very well balanced with super, slowly fading flavours.

The vieilles vignes cuvée. Denser, tighter and clearly finer aromas. There is a wave of fine but ripe tannin, the flavour, initially engulfed slowly grows and grows on the tongue. Really super finish flavour. Very impressive.

2007 Vougeraie Pommard Petits Noizons

By billn on April 14, 2010

The nose is a width of dark red fruits. Full, velvety palate – plenty of structure, but just enough sap and plenty of acidity. Quite long. Good wine – moving from a glass of Beaujolais my wife fell in love with this!

2007 Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles

By billn on April 14, 2010

The dark fruit aroma is edged with earth and oak. After the Pommard there is more fruit dimension and grainier tannin. Long finishing this is pretty good.

2007 Boisset Jean-Claude Fixin Blanc

By billn on April 14, 2010

10% pinot blanc in the mix. There’s a width of tasty fruit here – and some extract too. A ’small wine’ after the Clos Blanc de Vougeot, but a good wine.
