2008 Chauvenet Jean Nuits St.Georges Les Bousselots

By billn on December 03, 2010

The nose delivers dark aromas, accented with coffee. Lots and lots of fine tannin but balanced by sweet, fresh, dark fruit in the mid-palate, though the fruit decays faster than the tannin so it’s the predominant finishing experience – I expect they will slowly fade to bring better finishing balance though.

Deep colour. Mainly dark fruit aromas – some is even blackcurrant. Full and powerful yet the tannin remains in the background. With its dark, sweet fruits this is a very convincing wine!

Deep colour. Again an expression of dark fruit, though I have slight preference for the precision offered by the Perrières. Wide, perhaps a little too full, good tannin. The one area where I feel this ‘betters’ the Perrières is the slightly more interesting complexity of the finish.

A nice medium-plus colour. The nose has an almost textured depth of dark red fruit. A little CO2 spoils the presentation of the tannin, but this is fresh in a good way and slowly lingering. Another six months in bottle plus a decanter will provide all the roundness needed.

Deep colour. Lovely deep dark aromas to match, almost textured with a faint dark chocolate. Wide with lovely, lithe dark fruit and some velvet tannin in the background. Slowly lingering finish. Bravo.

2008 Chauvenet Jean Nuits St.Georges Aux Argillas

The nose is wide and mineral, showing a herby element. Full and round with a slight padding to the texture. The tannin is fine with hint of grab in the mid-palate but this helps cement the flavours to your gums. A good finish!

2008 Ravaut Gaston et Pierre Ladoix Blanc

Deep, quite tight aromas (the bottle is v.cold) of fruit. Full in the mouth but with the requisite energy. A hint of minerality before the fruit hits, edged with subtle barrel flavour. Super value here and the last drops have a hint of caramel about them.

Riper fruit that is a little yellow. Here the acidity is perfectly integrated into a whole which further expands in the mid-palate. Rather impressive.
