Kim,
I’d be inclined to let the '07 evolve in the glass, but I doubt an hour will hurt it at this stage. I’d taste it after 30 minutes and see if it’s already popping.
The '08 Cote du Py is a little tough right now so that’s not a bad idea at all. The Corcelette seems to be a bit more generous out of the blocks, as Gilman would say.
Slaton,
Welcome aboard!
Kim,
Welcome back!
+1 on the '07. Don’t know about the '08.
The 07 will definitely soften with an hour in the decanter, but the 08 is super tight right now. The last 08 Foillard I opened recently smelled great but refused to budge despite decanting for several hours. I am letting them sleep for a few more months and might revisit them later.
Michel - You were spot on and I’m glad I went out and nabbed a couple of 07’s at the last minute. The 08 did not want to give it up on the palate -although the aromatics were terrific.
Happy to have found this producer and to have started an exploration of Cru Beaujolais. I can see using these wines in instances where I might consider inexpensive pinot (which almost always disappoints).
Can’t wait to see how the 08 is with a little time on it - fun to cellar some inexpensive stuff! ![]()
Thanks, Paul!
