2009 Olivier Antoine et Rachel Santenay Beaurepaire Blanc

By billn on May 17, 2011

Hints of warm fruit and Chassagne-style herbs. Intense, sweet and just slightly heavy – but the flavours are long and finally a decent acidity kicks in delivering a nice balance to the finish.

There’s a smoky edge to the nose – apparently characteristic – which frames slowly evolving and growing clean aromas. Full in the mouth but with a still growing intensity. This is very impressive wine indeed – eventually showing a little savoury note amongst the minerality.

(Blanc) High-toned, completely different aromas, framed with Chassagne herbs. This is longer and rounder and whilst balanced I have a slight preference for the river of acidity that runs through the Bievaux.

High-toned aromas with flashes of interesting ripe fruits. Very silky and intense – lovely balance too. The sweet fruit at its core grows in intensity – super!

(Red) Medium colour. Lovely red fruit with cracked pepper corns on the nose. Lovely width and it offers-up another dimension of flavour in the mid-palate. I find this a very good wine.

2009 Ramonet Noel Chassagne-Montrachet Clos de La Boudriotte

The nose has herbs and fruit but less pepper than the Clos St.Jean, the fruit has a darker complexion too. Supple and concentrated with ever intensifying flavours. Overall, quite silky and very good indeed!

Tighter aromas – this has spent less time in bottle – that slowly grow. There is more obvious structure than from the Aloxe but there is lovely fruit that pads it out. This has excellent potential – probably after 15 years will be honey…

There’s a little toasted bread to augment good top to bottom but not too forceful aromas. I like the balance here and there’s very good intensity and some minerality too.

A good nose of depth, some herbs, in fact plenty of things to find. Full and quite rich in the mouth, initially with just enough acidity but the impression of acidity grows as your mouth waters – holding steady into the finish.
