1998 Burgundy horizontal (Noize): A more conventional wine than the Arlot, perhaps. Slightly sweet on the nose, with complexity from touches of earth, rubber tire and VA. Bright and juicy on the palate, hints of truffle, some residual grip and decent line and length. At first I preferred this to the Arlot, but it seemed to tighten whilst its flight-mate blossomed - high-scoring draw, then, as both were delicious and food-friendly.

Slightly softer and glossier red fruit than the Arlot. Lovely persistence. Great precision, elegance and balance. More perfumed nose. Classic Fourrier in a very good way. Again, absolutely at its peak.

1998 Burgundy (Noizé, London): Beautiful bright, vibrant garnet. Gently autumnal with some fraises de bois and a touch of cured meat. Fresh, porcelaneous , lovely line. Crystalline minerality. Precise and lovely. Lighter and leaner cf the CSJ. ****

Cherry red with some brown edge. Attractive nose tending to fine with cherry, wild strawberry and smoked game. Palate medium weight and well balanced with good length and savoury finish. Textbook for this appellation and position.
