2008 Carré Denis Pommard Les Noizons

By billn on May 22, 2010

Your nose is greeted by a wild, dark fruit impression. Good ripe structure that overall remains understated. Certainly quite pretty and with good length too.

2008 Château Génot-Boulanger Pommard

By billn on May 22, 2010

From 3 villages parcels, 2 to the north and the other from the south-east. Fruity with hints of herbs. Ripe and not too sweet in the mouth – plenty of well-managed tannin and a decent burst of interest as you head into the finish. Almost good.

2008 Taupenot-Merme Morey St.Denis

By billn on April 15, 2010

Dark, slightly herbal fruit. In the mouth this is full and masculine, there’s a stickiness to the tannin too. Lovely length – this lingers excellently.

2008 Taupenot-Merme Gevrey-Chambertin

By billn on April 15, 2010

Dark aromas, this time with hints of wood. In the mouth this starts much narrower than the Morey – it remains quite linear, never really competing with the width of that wine, but it’s intense and long.

2008 Roy Marc Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

By billn on April 14, 2010

Bottled in August. Dark, fruit-driven aromas, little oak. There’s plenty of dimension and energy. Fine wine this and no overt oak.

2008 Roy Marc Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur

By billn on April 14, 2010

The aromas are deep and dark, mixing earth and dark cherry. In the mouth there’s an additional dimension of flavour versus the Gevrey VV. Lots of interest and a very good finish too.

2008 Roy Marc Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée Alexandrine

By billn on April 14, 2010

Medium-plus purple colour. There are faint herbs and glossy but understated fruit on the nose. Very supple, silky tannin and an excellent mid-palate explosion of flavour. The flavour lingers very well. Not perhaps a grand cru standard, but definitely better than ‘villages’ standard. Excellent!
