2000 Tollot-Beaut Chorey-lès-Beaune

By on March 31, 2003 #asides

Medium cherry red. Nose is sweet and oaky with difficult to define, though cooked red fruits. Soft, with good acidity and concentration. Sometimes I get a bit of a “bubble-gum” impression with Chorey, but not in this case. Very good for Chorey-les-Beaune.

2000 Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle-Musigny

By on March 31, 2003 #asides

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 worth the outlay. Excellent villages. I’d suggest leaving 3 or 4 years to tone down the oak influence, but no rush to drink for several years there-after.

2000 Morey-Coffinet Chassagne-Montrachet

Medium ruby red. The nose is spicy with toasty oak – does a good job of masking the fruit. The palate is oaky and sweet with very smooth tannins and good acidity. I like the concentration. Personally I’d wait for the oak to subside, but this drinks very well already – excellent value too.

2000 Bouchard Père et Fils Nuits St.Georges Les Cailles

From the Southern part of NSG. Medium colour. Nose is reserved with some faint vanilla tones. Nicely concentrated fruit on the sweet palate. Medium tannins with almost good acidity. A persistent finish. This is good and quite drinkable already.

2000 Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune du Château Blanc

By on February 28, 2003 #asides

An assemblage of 5 different parcels. Pale colour. The nose is very nice, a little citrussy with perhaps the merest whiff of aniseed. Piercing fruit and quite nice acidity. The finish is relatively short, but this is a lovely wine.

2000 Bouchard Père et Fils Meursault Les Clous

By on February 28, 2003 #asides

20% new oak used here, the vineyard is at the top of Meursault, lots of limestone in the vineyard. Again quite pale. Nose is ‘wider’ and a little deeper than the last wine. Fuller palate with a touch of fig fruit on the much longer finish, nice acidity too. Also a lovely wine.

2000 Joblot Givry Pied de Chaume

By on November 30, 2002 #asides

Medium ruby colour, still cherry red at the rim. Nose has some low down traces of oak and forcefull black cherry. Very good acidity compliments intense cherry (again!) fruit. The tannins are well covered though fraying a little at the edges. This is a super-succulent wine. Very moreish, also very good.
