Bouchard, Morot, Rodet
Had a Bouchard Père et Fils Volnay 1er Cru 2003. An interesting wine: shows the year on the nose with strawberry (good) but also coffee, chocolate and plum. The palate had a beautiful supple texture, not much tannin and a viscosity one rarely/never sees in Burgundy. Drinking nicely now, a good wine for the vintage but not something I’d like to drink regularly.
Also drunk this week, a Morot Santenay 2000, which looked very youthful at first but then took on an aroma of prune. Then a Rodet Hautes Côtes de Beaune 2005 which showed some undergrowth and boar meat characters but had a disappointing structure for the year.
