Savigny les Beaune 1er cru "Les Lavieres"

Nicolas Rossignol wines are almost always firm with a well developed acidity that balances beautifully in the mouth. So also for this Premier cru "Les Lavieres" from Savigny les Beaune.

Savigny les Beaune wines are "leaner" than their neighbour appelation Beaune, but can provide good value for money.

The "les Lavieres" has a beautiful attractive Pinot Noir nose with hints of cherries and raspberries. On the palate it is as expected quite firm with quite a decent acidity crying out for food. Elegant, but the acidity can be stringent if the temperature and food does not match.

Savigny les Beaune 1er cru "Les Lavieres" 2008 by Nicolas Rossignol, "poor man's Burgundy" worth the cash.
Medium price 275, but require food like pork or game.

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!
