Bouchard Père et Fils Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 2007

This wine show some complexity and depth. Aromas of white flowers, honey, wax, peaches and something different I can’t put a name on. Flavors where butter, honey, exotic fruits, spices goes along with a tight and fresh finish that helps with the weight of the wine. Very good+ (90)

Made of Chardonnay. Aged 10 to 12 months in oak barrels with up to 15% being new. Alcohol level of 13,5%

Domaine Perrot-Minot Morey-St-Denis 1er cru La Riotte Vieilles Vignes 2002

The wine is quite dark. Up front spices aromas, but also have fruit, some green notes coming from the inclusion of whole cluster and oak still shows a bit. Chewy mouth feel with fruit flavors, load of spices, long and dense finish with a lot of structure left in the wine. Tasted blind, I was guessing a 1er Cru from 2005. Very good+ (90)

Made of Pinot Noir. Total production of about 2000 bottles per year, from a 0,5 Ha plot. Inclusion of up to 50% whole cluster depending on the vintage. Aged 12 to 14 months in oak barrels, 1/3 new, 1/3 one year and 1/3 2 years old. Alcohol level of 13%
