Burgundy Wine Tasting - Various

We attended a highly enjoyable tasting of various white and red Burgundy wines recently.

Comments as follows:

2009 Meursault Poruzots 1er Cru Chateau de Puligny-Montrachet. Not too expressive yet rather closed - rather crunchy acidity. Not bad needs time. Price versus quality: 15/20. Overall 15/20.

2009 St Romain Chateau de Puligny Montrachet. Nice wine - decent nose of mild citrus like flavours. Price versus quality 16/20. Overall 16/20.

2009 Camille Giroud Meursault. This is impressive. A lasting nose of minerality and citrus is followed by smooth and long finish - the way I imagine good Meursault to be. Price versus quality 17/20. Overall 17/20.

2007 Echezeaux Grand Cru Domaine Jean Grivot. Famous wine maker, famous wine. Is this good? Lovely wet earth nose and classic minerality. Slightly un expressive. needs time. Difficult to judge this at this time.






Next was an impressive wine - the 2007 Vougeot Les Cras 1er Cru Domaine de la Vougeraie. Best nose of the night, this had intensity, smooth and approachable acidity all the way through. Recommended. Price versus quality 17/20. Overall 17/20.
