Flight 1 - A White (1 Note)

Flight 2 - Reds (5 Notes)

  • 2007 Domaine de Montille Bourgogne

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

    Very light with an orange tinge. Subtle earth and red fruit aromas. In the mouth, wood char, spice, and an unexpected degree of sappiness. Only marred by its astringent finish. Nevertheless, still good.

  • 2008 Domaine de la Cadette Bourgogne Champs Cadet

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

    Very pale. Faint nose. Light and delicate with an initial sense of sweet fruit, but this falls off rapidly to leave a high acid, lightly earth finish. OK.

  • 2007 Deux Montille Bourgogne

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

    Compared to the domain bottling, this negociant wine had more of a licorice, brambly black fruit profile. Good acidity and some soil as well. The finish was less harsh than the more expensive domain wine, and I actually preferred this less expensive version.

  • 2007 Bruno Colin Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Maranges 1er Cru

    Light red. Reduced nose. Pretty rich red/black fruit that is sweet but simple. Crisp finish. Hard to assess due to the reduction, but this seems to have very good material for a minor commune wine.

  • 2007 Mongeard-Mugneret Bourgogne

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

    Light red with a hint of orange. Pretty, floral nose. Delicate, lovely strawberries with some earth, good complexity, and good ending acidity. The rare Bourgogne that may actually be worth the price and the best of the 6 red wines today.
