DOMINIQUE LAURENT
A top
winemaker; making complex, elegant and long lasting wines. For those who like their
burgundies to be a memorable experience!
His village wines are particularly good value; as they mainly come from
old vines and are very well made. |

Chambolle Musigny
Vieilles Vignes
Dominique Laurent
ST -
Medium red. Red
fruits, minerals and spices on the nose. Juicy, floral and penetrating,
if a bit reduced. Densely packed but has good Chambolle tang and energy,
with the smoky oak sweetening but not overwhelming the fruit. Intensely
flavoured, firm and long, with good clarity on the aftertaste. |

Nuits St. George
'Clos de la Maréchale'
1er Cru
J-F Mugnier
AM -
An earthy and moderately
sauvage nose of dark berry fruit, underbrush and a hint of stone
that is picked up by the rich, sweet and intense yet stylish medium full
flavours that are unusually pure for a typical Nuits while wrapped in a
finish supported by quite firm, dusty and mouth coating tannins. This
possesses really fine depth and the firm structure is sufficiently
buried that the finish appears less structured than it really is. |

Nuits St. George
'Clos de la Maréchale'
1er Cru
J-F Mugnier
AM -
In contrast to the
expressiveness of the first two '05s, here there is a completely
different aromatic profile and one that is brooding with more deeply
pitched and quite ripe blue and violet aromas combining with pungent
earth and game hints that continue onto the sweet, rich and sappy
flavours wrapped around a firm tannic spine. This is impressive as it
is clearly Nuits in character yet with refined and sophisticated
structural elements. |

Nuits St. George
'Clos de la Maréchale'
1er Cru
J-F Mugnier
AM -
This is more elegant and
complex aromatically and slightly finer with detailed, expressive and pure
aromas of earth, black fruit and plum that dissolve into beautifully
complex, refined and balanced flavours that also display ample finishing
minerality and better overall phenolic ripeness. A really lovely effort
that should age effortlessly. |

DOMAINE
POUSSE d'Or
Purchased by
Patrick Landanger in 1997, this domaine has subsequently be going from
strength to strength!
He calls 2005 a "great vintage in the grand classic style of the finest
burgundies" and says it is the best year since he purchased the
property. |

Corton Clos du Roi
Grand Cru
Pousse d'Or
AM -
In contrast to the
relatively open nose of the Bressandes, the Clos du Roi is brooding,
reserved and sombre, though the most black and dark berry fruit aromas
are ripe and spicy and this spice character continues onto the rich,
power and robust flavours that are supported by a balanced core of sap
and an extremely firm but not hard core of tannins.
This is a big wine yet it remains relatively refined and is clearly
built for the long haul. |
