Burgundy wine tasting

White


2007 Marc Morey Bourgogne Aligote: Aligote, the other white grape of Burgundy, rarely has contact with oak, this yields a clean, fresh, and crisp wine with bright citrus and a tangy finish.

2006 Gueguen Petit Chablis: Limited contact with oak allows the fruit and minerality to show.

2007 Larochette-Manciat Macon: Displays a clarity of fruit and minerality.

Red

2007 Roux Pere Bourgogne: Nice acidity and show of fruit for an entry-level red Burgundy.

2005 Brintet Mercurey Veilles Vignes: Old vines located in the village of Mercurey within the Cote Chalonnaise produce a wine that shows earthy flavors and red fruit, particularly cherries.

2005 Chateau de Chorey Chorey-les-Beaune: Sourced from vineyards in the shadow of the great hill of Corton in the Cote de Beaune, this is nicely polished, a fairly dense and earthy wine balanced by nice acidity and subtle red and blue fruit.
2005 Lamy Santenay Clos des Hates: As a Santenay, I was expecting something more rustic but found this to be more fruit-forward than the Chorey. Still nice, with a silky, round feeling with a touch of acidity compared with the red.
