These wines are all vinified in used Burgundy barrels
Another thrilling ’08 that continues to shows brilliantly
wrinkled and lightly bin soiled label
ullage was nominal with the fill at the mid-point of the neck
to give micro-oxygenation but not the aromatic or gustative influence from the wood
Jaboulet, Hermitage, La Chapelle 1989 (1.5L) Burgundy Blanc These wines are all vinified100 points James Suckling I have always been a huge fan of this wine, with incredible depth and richness of character. Dried meat, game, berry, spice, asphalt and tar. Full body with layers of ripe tannins and spice. It goes on for minutes on the finish. This is a fabulously spicy with black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, black truffles, sous bois and licorice. Decant two or three hours before serving. Purity and balance. This is the legendary 1961 again.
