2006 Latour Louis Beaune Vignes Franches

By billn on June 30, 2010

Medium, medium-pale colour. Pretty floral notes float over sweet red fruit. Quite a fat texture with a little velvet then a burst of flavour in the mid-palate. This is really very good.

2006 Allexant Charles Beaune Bressandes

This wine also carries a Tastevinages back-label. Medium ruby-red colour, perhaps already a little salmon shaded to the rim. Deep aromas of macerating, baking red fruit. Slightly astringent tannin but there’s width and intensity here. The dark flavours really cling to your palate. I find this slightly rustic but rather good!

2006 Ardhuy Beaune Les Champs Pimont

Medium colour. The aromas begin quite narrow, slowly adding width and a little muscle in the glass, eventually the creamy padding emerges too. The palate shows width and some silky texture. The tannin is today slightly blocky but the wine is quite supple.. Very good.

2006 Dufouleur Lois Beaune Clos de Perrieres

By billn on June 30, 2010

Medium, medium-plus ruby red. A little volatile and estery, meaty too. There’s a decent width of flavour, depth and balance too, yet the esters of the nose are part of the flavour profile too. I would say at best ‘okay’.

2006 Billard Gabriel Pommard Les Vaumuriens

The red fruit aromas are a little more sugared. Fuller than the 2007 Charmots with more tannin – some astringency. The tannin sticks to your gums and really adds to the length.

2006 Billard-Gonnet Pommard Chaponnières

By billn on May 22, 2010

Herbs aromas with ripe red fruit. There’s plenty of tannin, but it’s not too overwhelming. The fruit has good flavour and a decent intensity too.

2006 de Courcel Pommard Grand Clos des Epenots

By billn on May 22, 2010

Menthol and herbal notes mix with blue and red fruit. Again lots and lots of structure, but after the previous wines this is rather linear and unyielding – tight!

2006 Clark David Bourgogne Au Pelson

By billn on April 18, 2010

Medium-plus cherry-red colour. The nose has dark flashes of oak, suggestions but never any hard evidence of reduction and a very nice brambly dark fruit. Intense, very good fruit and a good villages-level of depth and complexity. Mouth-watering modestly in the finish. David delivers another superb bourgogne.
