2006 Fougeray de Beauclair Marsannay St.Jacques Blanc

By on November 30, 2008 #asides

100% Pinot Blanc (locally Pinot Beurot). Deep aromatics that are sweet and show a hint of gunflint. Generous and soft, slightly prickly acidity that pushes into and lengthens the finish – lingers well.

Another high-toned nose. In your mouth there’s a little more width and interest if not concentration compared to the bourgogne. The length is certainly on a higher level. A very nice wine for sure.

The nose shows herbs and faint cedar. Fresh with medium body but ebulient acidity that pushes the finish quite long. Those who by Mercurey should try some of this.

Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose has dark fruits and a caramel dimension. Ripe, with nice velvet tannin and ‘just right’ acidity. A good finish – quite nice this.

From 1952 vines. Medium, medium-plus colour. Pure and focused red fruit – it’s a fine nose. Soft and silky, perhaps less ripe than some – the tannin has some astringency, but the overall package is very good.

Wide and high-toned, perhaps a little diffuse, but not bad. Plenty of punch and freshness. The fruit has a slightly baked aspect but it’s fresh enough – the finish is decently long too.

Medium colour. Understated yet broad notes on the nose, some estery hints though quite interesting. Your mouth fills with soft and ripe but well-covered tannin. There’s plenty of interest here, even a twist of licorice – this is really tasty wine.

More depth and intensity to the nose – again very pretty. Across your tongue this is much more refined than the bourgogne, also high-toned fruit. This is very nice wine.

Medium colour. High-toned, pretty aromatics. Manages to fill your mouth with good concentration and slow to arrive, slightly astringent tannin. Super length, a very pretty wine.
