Beaune 1er cru Les Aigrots by Albert Morot

Another Beaune 1er cru from Albert Morot, this time the "Les Aigrots" which is in the southern part of the Beaune appelation up towards Montagne St.Desire. In comparison to the 2001 Les Bressandes also by Morot, the colour is darker red. The nose has got a slightly strange perfumed smell and on the palate there is an immediate attack followed by firm tannins. Unlike the Bressandes, this one screams for food and went really well with just some dried saucisson.

Just to compare to the 2006, this one was also tasted and showed more similar qualities to the Bressandes, medium red colour with a well balanced silky taste. The nose was similar to the 2001 but more flowery and nicely perfumed. No saucisson required for this one....

Beaune 1er cru Les Aigrots 2001 by Albert Morot ca 16,5 points 25€ P
Beaune 1er cru Les Aigrots 2006 by Albert Morot ca 17,5 points 25€ P(+)
The second bottle of the Aigrot 2001 that we opened were smoother with more red berries and a agreeable fruity well balanced taste with a firm soft structure. 17,4 and P(+).

Leoville Lascases 1988

Last week was a special week for me as I received my last pay check from my previous employer. An event that required some sort of celebration with some good friends. Of the many bottles opened during that evening was a Leoville Lascases 1988. This Bordeaux wine from St. Julien is second Grand cru classee but it has the quality of a first growth. This chateau was also the wine that made me change from beer to wine as I had the pleasure of tasting a Leoville Lascases 1945 back in 88.  The 1945  just knocked me off my guard and I remember thinking what a fantastic wine it was and what an experience to drink this wine from the year when world war 2 ended. I was in shock and I then just decided to enter into the world of wine. I have always had a soft spot for this chateau ever since. And to my pleasure  it has been performing well at much more reasonable prices than the much more expensive first growths in the 1855 classification. Nowadays a bottle of this wine costs around ...

Ogier Chateauneuf du Pape 2010

This is a quite reasonable Chateauneuf du Pape (ca 200 NOK or 15€). The colour is medium ruby color which was a bit surprising. Nose of ripe black cherries and liquerice with a medium + body and finish with firm tannins. The wine can be drunk now but has definitely the potential for ageing (5-10 years). Chateauneuf du Pape 2010, Ogier Bring out the steak!
