2009 Ramonet Noel Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers

By billn on May 17, 2011

Here the nose is both wider and higher-toned – lovely herbs. Full, very silky, growing with intensity and understated minerality. Very good wine!

It’s a high-toned if relatively tight nose. Lovely texture, minerality and a crescendo of intensity – this wine is an absolute honey!

2009 Olivier Antoine et Rachel Santenay Les Temps de C(e)rises

By billn on May 17, 2011

From four different plots of vines made with about 20% new oak. This was planned as a one-off cuvée in the financial crisis as an easy drinking wine – but customer took to it very well, so… Medium colour. Clean, dark cherry on the nose – fine. Medium weight with a lovely clean intensity – very nice wine.

There’s a smoky edge to the nose – apparently characteristic – which frames slowly evolving and growing clean aromas. Full in the mouth but with a still growing intensity. This is very impressive wine indeed – eventually showing a little savoury note amongst the minerality.

By billn on May 17, 2011

Made with 50% whole clusters, from a single vineyard just under Clos Rousseau in the west of Santenay.Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose seems a red-cherry compote. Fuller with lots of interesting and intense flavour – lovely length too. A wine with a very well managed structure – excellent quality.

High-toned aromas with flashes of interesting ripe fruits. Very silky and intense – lovely balance too. The sweet fruit at its core grows in intensity – super!

Medium, medium-plus colour. This also shows a dark cherry fruit but coupled to higher-toned violet notes. Again there is intensity and very pretty, mouth-watering fruit. A good increase of flavour in the mid-palate and finally just a little strawberry in the finish. Excellent.

High-tones and a hint of spearmint(!) Full and round again with that characteristic welling-up of intensity. Lithe and energetic – almost electric – wow!

2009 Olivier Antoine et Rachel Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Liards

By billn on May 17, 2011

Producing since 2006, this is the first vintage that Antoine is happy with. The aromas are completely different – wider and less deep. There is plenty of velvet tannin and a lovely fresh fruit flavour – that said the structure is appreciable – today at least.
