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

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.

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

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.

Once more the nose has that nutty, oxidised Meursault-style personality. Talking of personality, there’s plenty of that on the palate, but with a light touch and plenty of acidity that helps push the finishing flavours long. Jean-Claude prefers his whites with about 4 years of bottle age.

The fruit here is more ‘baked tart’ in style. Again fresh acidity but there is also more mid-palate kick and complexity after the last two (2008s), but perhaps less precision also.

2007 Rateau Jean-Claude Beaune Bressandes

By billn on June 27, 2010

The nose starts much deeper but with a little funk and reduction – it’s slow to open but gradually gains higher tones, some herbs and minerality – mainly savoury notes. The palate is very intense and it’s the first wine where I see absolute balance to the acidity. Powerful, some minerality and very long – this is a very good 2007 indeed.

Medium colour. Aromatically very interesting; with a mix of herbs and deeper, darker fruit. Very well made; mouth-filling, enough but not too much fat, a little velvet. Plenty of balance comes from the dark red fruit with a hint of oak. Really lovely.
