2004

2004 Bichot Albert Saint-Romain

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

Négociant wine. Pale yellow. High-toned nose that seems a little thick in the middle – no new oak used here. The palate is fresh and opens out very nicely. This wine has good density and none of the ‘raised’ acidity that is common from this appellation. A very good St.Romain.

2004 Bichot Albert St.Aubin

Wider nose than their St.Romain, initially more diffuse but stronger notes. Higher acidity than the St.Romain, very nice, mouth-filling complexity. Medium length. Good wine, I’ve tasted much worse 1er Crus from this appellation.

2004 Pavillon Meursault

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

From the west side of the appellation. Medium yellow. A very floral nose with hints of herb overlaying the fruit. Fatter, well balanced acidity, in-fact very good acidity. Really does have an extra dimension and depth of complexity. Again, medium length, but the real interest for this wine is in the mouth. A very tasty wine indeed.

2004 Pavillon Pommard Clos des Ursulines

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

A lovely floral nose – violets with a mineral undertow. Much more structure than the Bourgogne, very good acidity and mouth-coating tannins. The fruit is high-toned with lovely extension into the mid-palate – and further! A very stylish Pommard. Lovely.

2004 Bichot Albert Nuits St.Georges Les Crots

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

A cedary nose with hints of green pepper over a creamy depth. A sweeter palate with more forward tannin. Certainly an extra dimension here vs the villages Gevrey. Nicely interesting finish too.

2004 Potel Nicolas Puligny-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes

A much more mineral nose, pure and precise. A step-up in concentration, nice acidity too. Lasts long on the palate. A very nice wine.

2004 Bichot Albert Vosne-Romanée

This vintage also contains young-vines from Les Malconsorts. The nose is not so deep, but has super width – very stylish. Sweet palate with lots of interest. The acidity is good, though there’s a slight grain to the tannin. Frankly this is a really excellent villages and a good showcase for the 2004 vintage.

2004 Potel Nicolas Meursault Narvaux

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

100% new oak for the elevage. High-toned nose which mixes pineapple and pear fruit. The palate has less width than the previous Puligny, but shows a nice intensity and medium length. A very tasty and clean wine.

2004 Boisset Jean-Claude Meursault Le Limozin

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

For his whites, Grégory is looking for a mineral style, and uses no battonage. 7 barrels were produced using about 20% new oak. There was a small fining, but no filtration. An open nose that is wide and interesting. Lovely wide expression of clean fruit on the palate. Interesting and long, fresh and tasty – a great start.
