CHAMBOLLE NIGHT - (02.11.2013)
-
NV Eric Rodez Champagne Cuvée des Grand Vintages Grand Cru - France, Champagne, Ambonnay, Champagne
Color hints at some development. Lazy big bubbles; a very pleasing and creamy wine, good intensity, some strawberries, moderate freshness, some coffee. (90 pts.)
-
1964 Pierre Ponnelle Chambolle-Musigny - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Healthy deep bricking red color; after a while – a spicy nose (oriental) plus some mint; moderate body, fresh, long, balanced. Developed beautifully in the glass.
No traces of Syrah, perhaps considerable amount of premier cru in this? (93 pts.)
-
2002 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod / Barthod-Noëllat Chambolle-Musigny - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Although this has some spicy fruit beneath, it is a wine dominated by its acidity, edgy, tannic. (88 pts.) -
2006 Sylvain Cathiard Chambolle-Musigny Les Clos De L’orme - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Exotic PN nose, some animal fur, a bit rustic, tannic, moderate length. (90 pts.) -
2011 Domaine Bertheau (Pierre et François) Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Deep fruit, raspberries, some complexity, sappy, good acidity, decent length. Closed down in the glass? Nose was best. (91 pts.)
-
2010 Domaine Jean Grivot Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d’Orveau - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Deep nose with some dark and red fruit, yet still elegant in the mouth, almost some bonfire smoke. (91 pts.) -
2010 Domaine Taupenot-Merme Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru La Combe d’Orveau - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Darker fruit than the Grivot, fine acidity, spicy, tannic, well balanced. Bright future. (92 pts.)
-
2002 Domaine Bertheau (Pierre et François) Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Fine balance between spice and depth of fruit, elegance, fresh, fine finish with spice, perhaps lacking a bit in body. Some developmental notes, in the beginning of its drinking window. (92 pts.) -
2007 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
A bit more power than Les Amoureuses 2002 from Bertheau, still most fresh. Nothing is sticking out, just silk. An enjoyable ride, albeit not very exciting. Development ahead. (93 pts.)
-
2006 Alain Hudelot-Noellat Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
A bit closed, but some complexity is lurking beneath; moderate length, tannic, strange combination of being both perfumed and rustic (90 pts.) -
2009 Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Corked NR (flawed) -
2009 Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Spice PN nose, some meat; very fresh, tannic – but also elegant, good length and a fine spicy finish. Very pleasing without being too smooth or trivial; tribute to its freshness. (94 pts.)
-
2009 Como Sur Pinot Noir Ocio - Chile, Casablanca Valley
(Blind). Obviously PN, mint, spice, very good wine!. Deep fruit, exotic spices, a little ‘wild’, smooth, slight sweetness in the finish led to the conclusion that this must be New World. (90 pts.) -
2008 Felton Road Pinot Noir Block 5 - New Zealand, South Island, Otago, Central Otago
(Block 5?) (Blind). Bubble gum on the nose; burned taste, some sweetness, good acidity and length, without any complexity. (86 pts.)
-
2007 Serafin Père et Fils Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Some Spearmint + spice, PN nose, a little wood; strawberries, violent acidity – not so much tannin, moderate length. Closed or just not a particularly good wine? (87 pts.) -
2007 Geantet-Pansiot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Deep spicy fruit; moderate length, mature fruit, intriguing finish, but shortish. Not that interesting. (89 pts.) -
2009 Louis Jadot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes Domaine Gagey - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Mature strawberries and lots of other red fruit; a bit darker fruit in the mouth, deep, pleasant, smooth, a bit fleshy. (91 pts.)
-
2002 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod / Barthod-Noëllat Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Dark sweet fruit on the nose; similar in the mouth but fruit dominates over spice, some mint, a bit awkward acidity, tannic. Not a charmer (90 pts.) -
2008 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Structured with fine acidity, on the verge of being closed, very promising (92 pts.) -
2009 Domaine Hudelot-Baillet Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Exotic, some bubble gum; very pleasant in the mouth, shortish, a bit stewed? (89 pts.)
-
2004 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Mint, green pepper, spices, structured and tannic, lacking in top fruit, edgy (87 pts.) -
2005 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Dark with lots of dark fruit, heavily extracted, still pleasant, but short and without complexity, some notes of toasted barrels? (88 pts.)
-
2001 Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
Intriguing and deep fruit on the nose, lots of acid, cool, intense, tannins present. Good wine, but the taste is less interesting than the smell. (91 pts.) -
2008 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Bonnes Mares - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
Pronounced PN nose plus some meat and bonfire; good fruit in the mouth, slightly spicy, moderate length, enjoyable. (91 pts.)
-
2006 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre - France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
Honey, some seashore, but also a bit candy; slight sweetness in the mouth, moderate length, lacks complexity and nerve. With fried wing of skate. (88 pts.)
-
1999 Fattoria Selvapiana Chianti Rùfina Riserva Bucerchiale - Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Rùfina
Disappointing. (86 pts.) -
2009 Jean-Michel Stephan Côte-Rôtie - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie
very poor, synthetic (82 pts.) -
1998 Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo Ghemme Collis Breclemae - Italy, Piedmont, Northern Piedmont, Ghemme
(Blind). Most guessed 1er cru Bourgogne. Very fine wine, structured, some spice. (90 pts.)
-
2009 Domaine Huet Vouvray Cuvée Constance - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
What a wine! Deep fruit, exquisitely balance between high sweetness and pronounced acidity, making it very fresh, playful, extremely long, emerging complexity. (98 pts.) -
2002 Domaine Huet Vouvray Cuvée Constance - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Fresh, nicely balanced wine, great sweetness, albeit lacking in nerve and concentration. (92 pts.) -
1995 Domaine Huet Vouvray Cuvée Constance - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Thick, botrytis, some development giving it a very fine depth, great balance. (96 pts.) -
1989 Domaine Huet Vouvray Cuvée Constance - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
Elegant and balanced, a tad too dominant toffee and lacking balancing acidity, develops somewhat in the glass. Slightly disappointing. Not obviously flawed, but perhaps just an off bottle? (94 pts.)
Overall very convincing tasting, few disappointments. The 2009 is more structured than I believed in the first place. Enjoyable wines, but not very intellectual or challenging, which is not necessarily a drawback.
