Burgundy 2005

Domaine Marc Morey - 2006 En Primeur

Bernard Mollard always comes across as a remarkably relaxed man, which is not a common trait for a fruit farmer! Perhaps it is because 2006 was, for him, entirely unproblematic, with an easy elevage following on from normal yields harvested in perfect conditions from 18th to 20th September. Bernard see the richness of his 1999 with more brightness, noting perhaps the acidity of the 2001s. Regardless of comparisons, these incredibly well-priced wines will be immediately enjoyable and now look ever smarter in their new and improved livery.

White Wines

Bourgogne Blanc 2006

An easy-going, zippy style, Bernard bottled this in July. Very versatile, a pleasing white nut note infuses the palate whilst the acidity cuts across the flesh of the wine. Drink from release.

Price per case in bond          £95 - add to basket

  

Chassagne Montrachet 2006

Ripe, verging on the exotic, this has also been bottled to preserve freshness. Flattering style and rather vivacious, at the moment this has all the exuberance of youth and is delicious for it but should it be given time, the dissolved minerals will reassert themselves. Drink from release.

Price per case in bond          £205 - add to basket

 

Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Chenevottes 2006

Lovely exotic scents of lychee and spices, this is another super wine that is full of energy and vitality. The easy-going style of the house is clearly in evidence but there is considerable complexity and range behind the welcoming smile. Drink from 2009.

Price per case in bond          £280 - add to basket

 

Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru En Virondot 2006

A gorgeous nose of poire William, orange blossoms and Mirabelle plums. The palate is surprisingly nervy and racy and shows considerable refinement. Minerality and truffle notes are detectable too and the wine becomes more and more impressive as you work it.This is fine example from a terrific terroir. Drink from 2009.

Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru 2006

Rich and mealy but with tingling acidity, this rarity has a commanding presence and offers pear skins and grapefruit with touches of cinnamon and outstanding length. Deserving of a little time in bottle to really strut its stuff. Drink from 2011.

Price per case in bond          £395 per 6 (by allocation only)
