We started off with the basic Chambolle Musigny 2009 which we would probably regret, but as the others were expected to have more body and substance we felt it was the right thing to do.
Chambolle Musigny 2009 was just a delightful experience with a super elegant nose filled with red berries, smoke and some pepper. The taste was just pure velvet with a wonderful length and balance. Just a superb basic Chambolle that is drinking beautifully right now. A bit of cherries on the taste as well.
Nuits St George 1er cru Clos des Argillieres 2007 , a totally different ball game with more ripe fruit, more meaty flavours on the nose, also much more dark fruit than the previous one.A bit like ripe dark cherries as well. More body than the Chambolle and less acidity, but a big Burgundy although with less finesse and elegancy than the Chambolle.
Nuits St George 1er cru Clos des Argillieres 2009, deep medium red colour with lots of Pinot power on the nose. Lots of cherries and quite an exciting smell with lots of energy. The wine has an incredible balance and long aftertaste. The tannins are soft but it can easily be stored 3-7 more years.
Nuits St.George 2009 Clos Saint Marc, the plot next door to the ones above. Less clay than the the previous ones. So a totally different wine with red fruit more towards cherries but a very complex smell. More perfumed nose in a way, but a elegant slightly slimmer taste. Lots of acidity and sort "chilled" fruit.
All the wines are around 90 points plus, but the favourite must be the Chambolle due to the incredible finesse.
