2007 Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

Not a wine you get to taste very often due to its relatively small production. The nose is a little darker and starts deeper than the 1er cru, and is accented with rose petals. There’s a soft and welcoming texture and a creamy underpinning to the fruit. Good density at the core. Flavourful, beautifully balanced and very fine.

A composed nose that seems very sure of its class! – dense, imperious fruit. Complexity and freshness, plenty of ripe tannin and merely good dimension in the mid-palate. High-class Vosne.

2007 Gros A-F Richebourg

A floral top note and sweet red fruit – subtle rather than forceful. In the mouth the fruit is wonderful and the ample tannin straddles the border between silk and velvet. There’s plenty of barrel flavour too, but it can’t obscure the quality of everything around it. Super length and very fine.

Tight and rather more savoury aromas than most. Width and plenty of ripe tannin on the tongue. Decent acidity and a striking finish – clearly the best aspect of the wine.

A blend of fruit from 3 locations that were all vinified together. A fresh width of fruit greets the nose but there’s also a tight core too. Eventually some mineral notes too. A world of difference from the Pommard with finer tannin and a much more obvious ripe fruit dimension. Actually there’s a good mineral streak too – this is super.

Bottled in July. Medium yellow. The nose is fresh, wide, inetersting and clean. Just a little edge of fatness to the reasonably complex and very tasty fruit. Good acidity. I find this excellent.

2007 Champy Père et Fils Beaune Les Reversées

Deeper, denser aromatics after the Pernand. In the mouth it’s more plump but is certainly not lacking acidity. Good typicity for a Beaune whites.

2007 Champy Père et Fils Corton-Charlemagne

By on February 28, 2009 #asides

Seventy percent from ‘En Charlemagne, the rest (so everything in fact) from Pernand, raised on 40% new oak. The nose shows wide, relatively soft fruit. It’s a narrow entry, but the flavours quickly widen across your tongue – really super fruit in the mid-palate. The flavours slowly fade. A very good effort this.

2007 Dubreuil-Fontaine Corton-Charlemagne

The grapes are from Pernand, and this was bottled in September. A deep nose showing a little brioche. This starts very mineral and tight in the mouth but then bursts across the mid-palate before slowly decaying. Powerful and very well balanced. Super.
