Review of Available Bourgogne, while tasting Nouveau Beaujolais

With the tariff my merchant decided to review some white and red Bourgogne still in the market. Prices are going up so it was worth a second look. We were gathered to taste Nouveau Beaujolais anyway.

Beaujolais

  Solid as always. Easy fresh banana strawberry fruit, supple tannins, hint of courseness, but the overall juicy notes dominate. Fun wine

Four nice wines, bought some of the La Chatelaine

  I bought some of this back in February and put it away for this winter. It came back in a buying tasting considering the tariff situation. It is nice and at $17 still a value but I did not buy more. It showed good character lemon and a touch of honey but just a bit flat. In the four white wine lineup it was fourth. I don't regret my inventory but I don't need more and it is ready to drink.

  Good character and depth, nice texture and nice acid balance. Clean and fresh, needs some time to develop. At $17 it tied as a second choice and priced $10 cheaper that the wine it tied. Good value.

  Very attractive citrus, touch of honey, good balance and great linger. A complex wine with lovely flavors that stretch into the long finish. Best of the four WB's.

  Really liked this in a flight of four White Burgundies. Good balance and texture but the flavors which had intensity were not as layered and complex. Still this was tied as my second choice, but it was $27+.

All disappointing, overpriced, even with price reductions

  Light and forgettable, clean with vague flavors and a simple balance, I would not ask for a second glass and maybe not finish my first. Not defective just boring.

  Back in a tasting at a cheaper price ($4 less than I saw this in August) it is still a light and simple wine. Again not defective but way overpriced.

  Young with a fruit and bacon fat nose, this is a light and supple wine, but at $27 not a real value. It has some personality and positive attributes but not enough for the price.

  I saw this last month and was not impressed, even less impressed tonight. At $29 there are so many other choices.

  This was the best wine in a flight of seven Bourgogne, that said it was a decent but unimpressive wine at $31 marked down from $36. Good texture and adequate aromatics it was drinkable but not memorable. Give it a year and maybe it will complex but it is not worth holding very long.

  Funky did not do much for me and at $37 it was the last wine in flight so my notes are short.

There is a reason many of these wines are still around, most were poor values and in the case of the reds insipid. The Beaujolais was the best red of the evening.
