2009 Bouton Gilles St.Aubin Murgers des Dents de Chien

By billn on April 10, 2011

The nose has quite subtle oak – a little toasted bread. Lovely freshness in the mouth, again with good intensity and a long, quite stony flavour.

2009 Bouton Gilles St.Aubin la Chatenière

The nose is higher-toned, a ripe core of fruit with some surrounding herbs. Again, clean and fresh flavours of decent intensity – very tasty.

2009 Bouton Gilles Puligny-Montrachet La Garenne

By billn on April 10, 2011

The nose shows complex if slightly dense aromas. Again there’s fine freshness for the vintage – length too. More mineral flavours slowly reveal themselves though to be honest it doesn’t seem such a big jump from the previous wines – it’s understatedly impressive length not-withstanding.

(Red) Dark, precise, lovely aromas – yum. Also in the mouth there’s lots of interest; grainy tannins, flavour of agrumes – long lasting and mouth-watering. Another wine on the shopping list!

2009 Bouton Gilles Blagny Sous Le Puits

By billn on April 10, 2011

Certainly a lesser-spotted wine – but with great merit – to the producer too for not ripping out the vines for more profit; chardonnay equals Puligny-Montrachet here! Very fine red fruit aromas. Full and round. A good concentration of flavour – which seems to keep growing. Super-fine and lovely!

2009 Gagnard Jean-Noël Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets

By billn on April 08, 2011

The nose is more detailed with that background of Chassagne herbs. Lovely freshness – wide yet very mineral. Super-intense. I find this absolutely lovely!

2009 Gagnard Jean-Noël Chassagne-Montrachet Les Morgeots

By billn on April 08, 2011

(Red) This nose has a wider impression of fruit, tinged with a little herbs. More tannin, again with a little grab but finely grained. The flavour slowly lingers in the finish – more mineral than fruit. It would be silly to call Morgeots an elegant wine, but after the l’Estimé I think you will understand what I mean.

2009 Gagnard Jean-Noël Santenay Clos des Tavannes

By billn on April 08, 2011

The nose has lighter-coloured red fruit – more red-currant/raspberry than cherry. Nicely full, with a little tannic grain. There is dark-red fruit flavour and a lovely balance. This is not just strikingly pretty, it has depth too.
