Two whites and five reds were tasted with the following aim;
- taste the difference between Chablis and white Burgundy
- taste the difference between various appelations (climate) for red Burgundy
- taste the difference between village wine and premier cru
Chablis 1er cru "Vaillons" 2008 by Christian Moreau, Medium Price 242
Yellow green colour with aromas of apple, citrus and minerals. Lively long taste with good acidity and minerality.
Chassagne Montrachet 1er cru "les Caillertes", Lequin-Colin Medium Price 350
Pale yellow colour, sitrus, green apples and minerals. Long solid mouthful with balanced acidity, fruit and subtle oak character. Lovely stuff.
Savigny-les-Beaune by Pavelot, Medium price 250
Red from more sandy/limestone soil. Medium dark red colour with elegant aromas of red current, raspberry. Well balanced light taste with marked and balanced acidity.
Beaune 1er cru "Boucherottes", by Anne Gros, Medium price 270
"Boucherottes" is close to Pommard and this wine is bigger and "fatter" than the Savigny les Beaune. Darker red colour, pronounced smell of delicate red berries and raspberries. A big mouthful, packed with fruit and beautiful balance and long velvety taste. A bargain at 270.....!
Chambolle-Musigny 2006, Patrice Rion, Medium price 350
Bright red colour, lively smell of red berries and subtle oak. Subtle delicate and elegant taste with knife edge balance between fruit and acidity. Lovely stuff. Chambolle is the queen in Burgundy with feminine wines. Soil is just chalk with no clay. Beautiful!
Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru "les Charmes" 2004 by Patrice Rion, High price 550
Darker red colour, packed with lovely red fruit and berries. Perfect structured taste with gentle tannins and an exquisite aftertaste. Needs 5-6 years to show off the true quality. This wine cost the same in Norway as in UK. Fantastic stuff!
Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru "les Evocelles" 2004, Louis Boillot, Medium price 340
"Les Evocelles" is in the north of the appelation up on the steep hill. Deep dark red colour, elegant ripe raspberries and cherries. Big solid taste packed with beautiful fruit. Great stuff! This wine is actually cheaper in Norway than UK. Wonderful!
