Millésimes Lagrézette : quand les boire ?
Voilà bien l’une des grandes interrogations posée à quiconque détient des vins en cave : « Quand boire tel millésime ? » Ou, à l’inverse : « que boire en telle année ? » Un lecteur de ce blog, ayant... (more)
olivier guyot marsannay la montagne 2005
2005 Olivier Guyot, Marsannay La Montagne
Medium, medium-plus cherry-red colour. Modest higher tones over a tight core of dark fruit, swirling releases a little more spicy, leathery notes. Rather linear but very good fine tannin and slightly forward acidity. The flavour is mainly confined to... (more)
189 years of age in 3 luncheon bottles
From left to right: 1919 Clos Blanc de Vougeot, 1957 Bonnes-Mares, 1959 Echézeaux
Sometimes opportunities to taste nice wines (maybe I should say exceptional wines) pop-up without expectation. This week I was to taste a fine producer’s 2006 range of Chablis, however, as... (more)
more bourgogne, but from the ‘wrong’ leflaive..
The lunch menu offered up a tantalising wine option - Domaine Leflaive Bourgogne Rouge - I never heard of it, clearly it was worth investigating. Of-course when the bottle arrived the mistake was clear, it was actually from Olivier Leflaive. Anyway the bottle was here so why not give it a... (more)
pierre morey 2005 bourgogne pinot noir
This relatively unassuming label delivers everything that the Girardin label promised but absolutely failed to deliver. Clearly there is a vintage difference, but in the final analysis, this tastes like pinot noir, and a very good one too. Aromatically much more interesting than the Foillard of... (more)
low price - bourgogne or beaujolais?
The packaging is great. The expectation it sets also; Pinot Noir Les Vieilles Vignes. The price is not exceptional for a bourgogne, in fact at 20 Swiss francs it’s far from cheap. Let’s be clear, this is a nice tasty wine but tastes like Beaujolais not pinot - and not a stunning... (more)
seguin-manuel 06 savigny 1er lavières
2006 Seguin-Manuel, Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er, Les Lavières
Medium, medium-plus colour. Deep red and black-skinned cherries under faint wood spice, the last drops provide a lovely reccurrant note. Lithe, lovely acidity, ripe fruit and good good mid-palate flavour. The tannin is relatively... (more)
2×2003 from bichot - beaune and pommard 1ers
For me the ‘average’ face of a mid-range 2003 is shown by the Beaune, and that’s the reason you don’t see many notes for 03’s on this page. The Pommard is altogether better, and comes close to being enjoyable!
2003 Albert Bichot, Beaune 1er Cru
Medium red, still... (more)
bouchard père 2005 monthélie 1er clos champs fulliot
2005 Bouchard Père, Monthélie 1er Clos des Champs Fulliot
A bright medium, medium-plus cherry-red colour. High tones over red berry notes. Mouth-filling with plenty of fine tannin and very good acidity. As the wine lingers in the glass the red berry note of the nose comes through on the... (more)
lejeune 2006 pommard 1er les argillières
My first sip left me underwhelmed, but this really grew both in the glass and on me.
2006 Domaine Lejeune, Pommard 1er Les Argillières
Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose starts with chalky, powdery fruit, slowly opening a deeper dimension thats edged with caramel. The tannin builds to a... (more)
