2007

2007 Prieur Jacques Beaune Les Champs Pimont

By billn on June 30, 2010

Medium colour. Like the Grèves, this is an interesting blend of barrel and fruit notes – you look forward to the next sniff – yet it doesn’t seem to show any different character. Also plenty of tannin in this wine, but it seems ripe enough so will eventually fade from view. Good as it is, other than the colour I found not enough differentiation between this and their Grèves.

Medium cherry-red. Understated but fine and ripe red fruits. There’s a hint of astringency and the acidity is just a little forward, yet there is very nice fruit as a foil. I find this very drinkable.

2007 Prieur Jacques Beaune Les Grèves

Medium, medium-plus cherry-red colour – almost a 2008-level of colour. The aromas are an interesting and complex blend of barrel notes and perfectly ripe fruit. Mouth-filling and showing plenty of tannin – dark flavoured fruit too for an 07. Here’s an 07 masquerading as an 08 – well, until you taste the 08!

2007 Giroud Camille Beaune Avaux

Medium colour. Ripe red fruits with hints of coffee and minerality. Wide with a little more acid balance after the Cras if not the same density. A very pretty wine.

2007 Croix (des) Beaune Pertuisots

Medium colour. Warm, ripe red fruit aromas. Soft yet mouth-filling, quite a wide impression from the ripe fruit. The face is friendly and delivers a sneaky extra dimension of flavour in the mid-palate. Very nice.

2007 Giroud Camille Beaune Aux Cras

By billn on June 30, 2010

Medium colour. The nose delivers warm, slightly creamy red fruits. Width, warmth, plush, unctuous mid-palate. Very tasty though after an 08 you will miss some acidity.

2007 Prunier-Bonheur Pascal Beaune Les Sizies

By billn on June 30, 2010

Medium cherry-red. Dark aromas of reduction lift to show perfumed red fruits. Mouth-filling; dark oak and fruit flavours lingering on a good, if not totally integrated acidity. Not a perfect showing, but very drinkable.

2007 Chanson Père et Fils Pernand Vergelesses Les Vergelesses

By billn on June 30, 2010

Medium, medium-plus colour. Warm, comfortable dark red fruit. There is freshness and a nice minerality to the structure – there is some power here.

2007 Rateau Jean-Claude Beaune Les Reversées

By billn on June 30, 2010

The nose offers a high-toned mix of herbs and red fruit. This has a very fine and elegant demeanour for a 2007. The fruit flavour is fresh and, like the nose, framed with herbs. This is very pretty.
