Volnay 'Santenots' 2006 - Nicolas Rossignol

Having tasted quite a few of Nicolas Rossignol different premier cru reds from Volnay during the wine tasting Paris early December, we had the Volnay 1er cru 'Santenots' 2006 the other day. And what an experience!

Lovely great red colour with wonderful complex smell of dark berries, leather and oak. Although still a very young wine the taste was balanced, with a nice acidity and  along firm and seductive taste which would improve even more with time.

A extremely well structured wine that required 3 to 5 years to develop in order to peak, but again absolutely fabolous right  now as well.

Volnay 1er cru ' Santenots' , Nicolas Rossignol  385 NOk or 45€, lovely stuff and worth every penny!

Bordeaux- Le prelat du Ch. Pape Clement 2004

This is one of two second wines of the famous and expensive Ch. Pape Clement in Graves. Although young,  2004, this wine drinks really well already if you put it on carafe a couple of hours before consumption. Dark red colour, with a very attractive smell of blueberries and dark berries, its a full bodied wine with firm but nice tannins that goes best with some food. 2004 although not the best of vintages, keep surprising me with good drinkable wines at affordable prices, because from 2005 and onwards there is a big step up in prices.... Grapes; Cabernet Sauvignon 60% and Merlot 40% Price around 20€ P+

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!
