Comté Armand - Clos des Epeneaux 1er cru - Pommard -2006


Score: 16.25/20 Concluded by my actual tasting notes.
Rustic, sheer minerals. bit shy at beginning. Tremendous amount of blackberries and spice in mid palate. Very firm tannins. Solid finish. Seems has a lot hiding. Wait for 5,6 years at least.
The 5 hectares of Clos Epeneaux is one of the greatest vineyard in Burgundy. For vinification purposes, the vineyard is separated into 4 different parcels, determined by the vine age( from 22 to 66 years)
The wine-maker is the young star, B. Leroux

J.F Mugnier - Nuits-St-Georges - Clos des Fourches 2006


Score: 13.5/20
Very ripe fruits suggest blackberries, figs, sweet clove, faint of licorice in mid palate. Not elegant, kind of bourgeois . Trace of oakiness. Tannins are there but very rough. Kind of dull on the finish.

Patrick Javillier - Savigny les Beaune - Les Serpentieres 2006


Score: 17.75/20 Concluded by my actual tasting notes
Dusty strawberries underneath the spring damp earth. Hidden minerals intermixing with roasted nuts. Flavors are smooth and complex. Finish with cherry tone & terroir driven aromas.
This 12 hectares of parcel is composed of rich brown clay soils. This domaine has only 0.7 hectare of vines and they 30 years old.
This Domaine is one of the most reliable producer in Burgundy.
