2008 Dubreuil-Fontaine Pernand-Vergelesses

By billn on April 08, 2011

Nice and ripe but understated fruit aromas. The palate is the same with lots of clean, steely acidity. Quite Cistercian! For drinking now on a hot sunny day – might get a bit mouth-puckering with time…

The aromas are more generous than those of the 07 – enveloping – lovely. Rounder, with seemingly more acidity, no-wonder it also seems more intense. There’s good minerality too – today I’d rather drink this than the 07. Lovely wine.

Thirty percent new oak here. The nose offers-up understated complexity. Not surprisingly this is both fuller and more intense than the 1er Cru. I find it very well proportioned indeed.

(Red) Lovely, lovely aromas. Supple with fine tannin and flavours that grow in the mouth – good value too.

The aromas focus on delicate red fruits – nice definition. Likewise in the mouth this is a wine of subtlety, delicacy – overall very, very elegant.

Deeper, more profound fruit on the nose. Fine fruit covers good structure – a very obvious cherry flavour – precociously tasty.

Fabulous pure red fruit stops you in your tracks for a second. In the mouth it is fresh but balanced and again there’s a lovely depth of fruit that reflects the nose. Slowly lingering clear flavour – a beauty – lots of this made it home!

The nose is a quite lovely blend of flowers and fruit. In the mouth this is round for Corton, intense and subtly complex – yum.

The nose has lovely inviting fresh-red fruit. In the mouth it’s also fresh with mouth-watering red fruits. An acid-led wine – but if you don’t mind – lovely – but I’d drink mine over the next couple of years!

Burgundy Report

is special because...

Although this site has to support itself, and its author, everything in these pages is eventually free to view. With 350-400 domaine visits and many blind tastings per year, you won’t find that level of coverage and openness elsewhere!

I don’t ‘score‘ but I do actually recommend which wines to buy from which estates – instead of hiding behind an anonymous 94/100 score – does that mean buy or not? We should be told!

The monthly reports for subscribers reverts to ‘free-access’ after a little more than two years, because the whole ethos of Burgundy is sharing – Burgundy Report too – in this case, sharing the passion…
