De Chambolle à Morey - Grands Jours de Bourgogne

We arrived after lunch and quite a few of the top wines were already finished, so this was not as comprehensive as the tasting for Vosne-Romanee.

• 2010 Domaine Arlaud Morey St. Denis

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis

  Wine tasting. Big and powerful for vintage, both in terms of fruit aromas and structure on palate. Somewhat bulky for the vintage.

• 2010 Domaine Arlaud Chambolle-Musigny

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny

  Wine tasting. To me, this was a big step up from the MSD. Lots of red fruit on nose and palate. Lacy, textured, nicely balanced and very elegant. Worth seeking out for its level.

• 2010 Fougeray de Beauclair Bonnes Mares

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

  Wine tasting. All black fruit on both nose and palate. Very powerful but still balanced. Subtle spice comes through on long finish. Great trying this along with its 2008 counterpart, I slightly prefer the 2008 but the 2010 has greater density.

• 2009 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru

  Wine tasting. Good combination of red and black fruit with lots of spice. Powerful fruit and tannins, nicely supported by good acidity. Evolving finish shows more delicacy and finesse. Even better than when tasted at the Domaine last spring (slightly more balanced and integrated).

• 2011 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru

  Wine tasting. The unusual 2011 being poured at Grands Jours, this was lean and elegant. Somewhat shorter and simpler than other recent vintages of Lambrays, but this is very young. I was surprised to see it has already completed malolactic fermentation.

• 2006 Gérard Raphet Chambolle-Musigny

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru

  Wine tasting. Floral, perfumed start. Powerful black fruit with moderate, meaty spice. Long finish brings together good fruit, structure and spice is a very classic manner. At its peak, tasting wonderful in a day of tasting mostly exuberant 2010s.

• 2010 Domaine de la Vougeraie Bonnes Mares

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

  Wine tasting. All black fruit, very dense on both nose and palate. Rather compact on palate gives it an inaccessible character, this wine will need plenty of time in cellar.
