2006 Boisset Jean-Claude Puligny-Montrachet

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

The same amount of new oak, but from a different cooper – so more noticeable – but there’s plenty of depth below. A lovely mineral aspect couples to perfect acidity. It’s not fantastically long, but it’s very, very tasty.

2006 Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus

A softer and redder nose. A narrow entry but it bursts across the palate with accessible ripe fruit – structure and complexity follow in the next wave. I think it follows the Bèze much more successfully in 2006 than it did in 2005. Super.

2006 Potel Nicolas Nuits St.Georges Les Damodes

Seems a ‘younger’ less formed nose. There is a small step-up in concentration versus the Murguers. This expands very well over the palate and has a super finish – faint oak flavours are to the fore, but still excellent wine.

2006 Gambal Alex Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint Jean

A quite different pose here – hints of butterscotch play with with sweet fruits on the nose. A ripe, slightly fat texture with good acidity and length.

2006 Gambal Alex Clos de Vougeot

By on March 31, 2008 #asides

50% new oak. A wide nose of red berries, though not so deep as the Chambolle Charmes. This is a mouth-filler! Plenty of tannic structure but equally full of complexity and dimension. Nicely fresh, this is a worthy Clos Vougeot.

2006 Thomas-Moillard Savigny-lès-Beaune Blanc

Quite a concentrated nose with a subtle undertone of vanilla. There is nice texture and some depth. There is also a nicely creamy base to this wine – long too. I’m very surprised by the quality of this wine, it’s very , very good.
