2007 Butterfield David Beaune 1er Cru

By billn on June 30, 2010

Medium cherry-red. Dark, oak-inflected aromas – slightly spicy. Ripe and tasty, velvet texture from slightly drying tannins. The flavours are as dark as the nose but they are lovely in the mid-palate before the very decent finish.

Medium colour. Ripe red fruits with hints of coffee and minerality. Wide with a little more acid balance after the Cras if not the same density. A very pretty wine.

2007 Giroud Camille Beaune Aux Cras

Medium colour. The nose delivers warm, slightly creamy red fruits. Width, warmth, plush, unctuous mid-palate. Very tasty though after an 08 you will miss some acidity.

2007 Prieur Jacques Beaune Les Champs Pimont

Medium colour. Like the Grèves, this is an interesting blend of barrel and fruit notes – you look forward to the next sniff – yet it doesn’t seem to show any different character. Also plenty of tannin in this wine, but it seems ripe enough so will eventually fade from view. Good as it is, other than the colour I found not enough differentiation between this and their Grèves.

2007 Chanson Père et Fils Pernand Vergelesses Les Vergelesses

Medium, medium-plus colour. Warm, comfortable dark red fruit. There is freshness and a nice minerality to the structure – there is some power here.

2007 Coste-Caumartin Beaune Chouacheax

By billn on June 30, 2010

Medium cherry-red. Understated but fine and ripe red fruits. There’s a hint of astringency and the acidity is just a little forward, yet there is very nice fruit as a foil. I find this very drinkable.

2007 Chanson Père et Fils Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Dominode

By billn on June 30, 2010

Medium colour. Less width but much more depth of fruit. This is a little sweeter and friendlier but has a structure not to be under-estimated. There’s a long, mineral finish.

2007 Chanson Père et Fils Beaune Clos des Fèves

By billn on June 30, 2010

Medium, medium-plus colour. There is a nice precision to the fruit here – very nice aromas. In the mouth I find this less generous than many from 2007 but there is a lovely high-toned red fruit flavour.
