Jean-Claude Boisset Reviews

Already showing some game and decaying fruit aromas and flavors, this red also boasts spice and mineral notes. Succulent and firmly structured, with a lingering aftertaste of spice and stone.

There’s a hard edge to this red, derived from the acidity, tannins and a firm, stony element. The flavors evoke currant and cherry, with a touch of spice and earth. Still closed on the finish.

Year's Best Burgundy (Oct 2013). Cherry-rich and cushioned with full, meaty fruit, this feels round and complete. The floral notes suggest some of the complexity that may develop with bottle age.

Year's Best Burgundy (Oct 2013). Completely seductive when first poured, this is still going strong two days later, a bright, spicy, lovely Chambolle that offers deep satisfaction. It has the coolness of an earthen well, the dark fruit clean and pure. The scent ha a shape, a sense of uplift, like a porcini pushing up through the underbrush. From a vineyard close to the RN74, on the northern (Morey-St-Denis) side of the village.

Strong reduction presently dominates the nose. By contrast, there is excellent verve and that lovely inner mouth perfume to the intensely mineral-driven flavors that possess a silky mouth feel and outstanding finishing depth and length. This is a stunningly good villages level wine notwithstanding that there is a significant proportion of 1er juice in it. Recommended.
