2006 Thomas-Moillard Corton-Charlemagne

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

Intense, faintly creamy aromatics. Very soft and silky with a creamy concentration. Wide and long – excellent – from the style and poise I’d guess Bouchard Père.

2006 Brocard Jean-Marc Chablis Le Clos

The nose here is only about ripe fruit – almost too much. Fuller in the mouth with good acidity. Actually it’s just a little plump and it’s not quite as long as the last wine. Good but not great.

2006 de Villamont Henri Corton-Charlemagne

A reticent nose – tight fruits in the mix. Wide, silky, high-toned fruit in the mouth. There’s a hint of spritz and a long savoury finish but this doesn’t have the extra zing of the previous wines.

Maybe a trace of toast on the nose – overall quite savoury. Super acidity and good minerality. There’s an extra dimension of flavour, but some oak on the finish too?

2006 Latour Louis Bâtard-Montrachet

The nose is faintly savoury and eventually a little creamy over equally faint fruit. Full-pack in the mouth with slightly less sweet fruit and a little oak and spritz. Oakily long.

2006 Boisset Jean-Claude Clos de la Roche

The nose is not so deep, but offers a super and complex width of dried fruit notes. Wide in the mouth too, showing an understated concentration. The balance is impeccable such that it’s not so easy to comment on individual components – but the length is super. A fine bottle.

2006 Château Corton-Andre Corton-Charlemagne

Deeper yellow – and it shows on the nose with plenty of toasty oak – just about avoids being excessive. Sweet with decent concentration but despite good acidity it lacks focus.

2006 Long-Depaquit Chablis Les Blanchots

A deep and slightly brooding nose. The palate is ripe and has just enough acidity – but it’s not too fat. Opens out into a good mineral finish.
