2009 Cornu Ladoix Le Bois Roussot

By billn on November 04, 2011

Medium colour. Very pretty high tones on the nose, below it seems tighter but some pretty strawberry notes escape from the glass. Fuller and rounder than you expect from the modest colour – very good red fruit flavours.

Wide and very engaging aromas that blend high and bass notes. Lovely wine here; understated yet complex – needs a bit more acidity? – it is anyhow complex and contemplative. A wine to curl-up with!

Sweet aromas that are also rather oaky, but not unpleasantly so. Plenty of acidity and an understated fur of tannin – decent finishing power too. Just a bit too much oaky make-up today; return in 12 months…

There is also plenty of oak on this nose too, set against higher-toned aromas and some herbs. Velvet texture and decent fruit too, very decent! Again the wine is served with plenty of oak, but it’s a very good wine for all that.

2009 Lécheneaut (Philippe et Vincent) Nuits St.Georges

Dark oak aromas – mainly. Lithe velvet texture with tannin that is just a little astringent in the finish. Again there’s a little too much oak for my taste but you will find very good finishing flavour.

2009 Lécheneaut (Philippe et Vincent) Nuits St.Georges Les Damodes

By billn on November 04, 2011

Two thirds of the grapes come from the 1er cru part of the vineyard. High tones and very modest oak notes overlaid by warm, red fruit. Round, mouth-filling and rather understated velvet tannin – very good width to the flavour. A good lingering finish that might have been even better with just an ounce more acidity – good wine though.

2009 Bachelet Denis Gevrey-Chambertin Les Corbeaux

By billn on November 04, 2011

Medium, medium-plus colour. Wow: There’s a strong smell of pyrazines on the nose – blind, I’d probably lose my house pronouncing this as a 2004. The flavour is likewise corrupted. This seems very stable in the glass, and it’s not for me.

2009 Mallard Michel Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Serpentières

Medium colour. This has quite full, sweet fruit; some strawberry and very decent acidity. Lingers quite well this – a good start – but the price is a little high.

The fruit here is very pretty and red, dovetailed with high-toned notes. In the mouth this brings a fuller impression with velvet tanning padding out the palate. This finishes very well but balances by being much narrower in the mid-palate.
