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....

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(+).
