Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 2008

Posted on January 6, 2012 by Lincoln

Picked a bottle of this up this week. Initially a bit weedy, but with time it showed some lovely balance. A touch of animal hide, red cherries, light custard & nutmeg oak, iron filings. A light palate, cherries and a … Continue reading →

Its an 04.  Friend or foe?  Well this is definitely friend…Colour a little cloudy and browning slightly.  Nose is kid leather and mint.  Palate is sweet and generous – nothing of the 04 green streak.  Leather, cedar, raspberry and rhubarb … Continue reading →

Domaine Leroy Pommard Les Vignots 1995

Posted on September 18, 2011 by michel

A purchase inspired by a recent bottle from the 2001 vintage. Exotic spices on the nose, but no szechuan or cinnamon or Asian spices; more Vosne-Romanee in character, and more subtle than the 2001; less viscosity, less oak possibly. Over … Continue reading →

Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin “Clos St. Jacques” 1er cru 2006

Posted on September 18, 2011 by michel

Rousseau, Smousseau. As much as I try to struggle to like them – I love them big time – spades and spades – clean with minerals and purity and pastilles- feminine silky palate. It is young but not painful to … Continue reading →

Domaine Michel Lafarge “L’Exception” Bourgogne Passetoutgrain 2005

Posted on September 17, 2011 by Lincoln

Madame Bize-Leroy is popping over for lunch tomorrow; she was jabbering in French to me over the phone during the week and hopefully I have understood her correctly, so I went searching for something to share. During the process, I … Continue reading →

Jean-Claude Boisset Chambolle-Musigny 2004

Posted on September 12, 2011 by Lincoln

Another 2004 Burgundy, and actually my initial impression was that this one wasn’t too bad. Or perhaps I just had low expectations. Some brownness in the colour. On the nose, it’s got green stalk, nettles, dirt and a touch of … Continue reading →

Posted on September 7, 2011 by michel

I have had dinner with Mr Burgundy many times but don’t normally write notes – it isn’t the done thing – appreciation is all key with a few double blind wines thrown in. Saturday night was Riverfire so we charred … Continue reading →
