Echezeaux 2002, Mongeard-Mugneret
Barbequesaus, lys og oversjøisk i stilen. En rik og tydelig Pinot Noir. Lett og elegant. Cathiard ? Aromatisk optimal nå med "asian-spice", frisk, kan fortsatt lagres og en veldig god munnfølelse. Den beste vinen i rekka. 94-95 poeng
Jean Mongeard has been a key figure within Burgundy serving as the President of the Association des Viticulteurs de la Cote d`Or for many years. He is also one of the most prominent growers inVosne-Romanée. In 1985 he handed over responsibility for winemaking to his 29-year-old sonVincent.The Domaine has 20 hectares of vineyards, including small parcels of Clos de Vougeotand Richebourg. These are sturdy, concentrated, well-proportioned wines that over the years have become more elegant and refined.
Clos des Mouches Beaune 1993, Joseph Drouhin
Mørk frukt med avslepen nese. Vandig i munnen, og smaken tar deg ikke til det "neste nivået". Vanskelig i munnen med tanniner, syrerik årgang og vinen har ikke fruktkvalitet for ytterligere lagring. Noe klassisk, men for trang og mager. Vinmarken synes jeg sjelden imponerer. 86-87 poeng
Nuits-Saint-Georges 1cru Aux Murgers 2003, Sylvain Cathiard
Mørkere fruktbilde, kvalitet mht. fatkrydder som tilsier en vin fra en god produsent eller av Grand Cru kvalitet. Rik rødbærsfrukt som blir kamuflert vel mye av eiken. Litt brent pepper, krydret. En Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques fra Sylvie Esmonin ? Jeg synes 2003 drikker godt nå. 89-91 poeng.
The family Domaine was established by Sylvain Cathiard’s grandfather in the 1930s and then maintained by Sylvain’s father from 1969 until 1985, when Sylvain himself became involved. The following year, Sylvain set up his own with parcels of vines rented from his father and other vignerons, before taking on his father’s original vineyards. From 2006, he has been joined by his son, Sebastian, and they have formed the estate of Sylvain Cathiard et Fils.
Based in Vosne, his 5 hectares span Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-St-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny, with a very small parcel in Romanée-St-Vivant. All vineyard work is carried out with meticulous attention to detail by only himself, his son and his wife.
For winemaking Sylvain has a definite hands-off approach, preferring to do nothing rather than interfere with the natural development of the wines. He destems entirely, cold settles the juice and ferments the wines for between 16 and 22 days. The new wines are matured for 18 months in oak as follows: Village wines, 40% new oak and 60% 1 year old; 1er Crus, 70-80% new oak and 20-30% 1 year old; Grand Cru, 100% new oak. Since 2000 none of the wines are fined or filtered.
Corton Grand Cru 2002, Louis Jadot
Lys og genuin rødbærsfrukt. Fragrant og elegant. Lekker, klassisk og flere var i Chambolle. Lang ettersmak, kanskje vel mye eik, tørrer litt med en kledelig rustikk finale. 89-91 poeng
Vintage Port 1963, Cockburns
Lys, fragrant og gjennomsiktig. Mangler endel intensitet og bør drikkes. Typisk lettere stil ala Cockburns. 89 poeng.
