Tighter nose than most of the previous wines – has width, not so much depth. Sweet, complex palate, lovely. Forward tannins but all the parts are once more impeccable – despite this the wine remains a little tight and understated – no austerity here.
Super nose – more open and floral – perhaps still a little tight so not much width, but there is real depth here. Lovely texture – really fills the mouth with a wide impression – but will need some time in the cellar to build complexity as it’s a very linear and mineral expression, super length, super wine. This wine saw 20% (old) barrel fermentation, the aim is not to introduce oak flavour, rather to find an ‘extra dimension’.
This wine saw 15% barrel fermentation. The widest nose here, but doesn’t match the impressive depth of the ‘Blanchots’ – quite ripe in complexion. Despite the extra ripeness to the fruit on the nose, it is certainly the most mineral impression of any of these wines. Despite this, there is a rich texture to wine, etching the flavour into the palate – very deep stony fruit. The Blanchots is a the more steely, this has the most impact. A worthy addition to any cellar.
Depth, lovely depth on this nose, everything just edged with coffee before high-tones start to evolved. Sneaky concentration – this really grows in the mouth. Versus all the other wines here this was a little anonymous, everything in it’s place but competent rather than excellent – I loved the nose though…
From vines situated above Languettes on the Ladoix side, 100% barrel fermented, 40% new wood with 15 months in the wood. Depth and width on the nose with an intense mineral scent. The palate is much more concentrated and linear than the ‘Charmes’. Whilst it is undoubtedly very long finishing, the linearity means that it is showing very little today but it should have a great future as the balance is super.
