Cote d’Or
Home to the most famous wines in Burgundy, the Cote d’Or is a narrow strip of land situated on a fault line, which giving it enormous geological diversity. All of Burgundy’s Grands Crus (except for those in Chablis) are located here. The Cote de Nuits is the most northerly part of the Cote d’Or. It contains mostly red Grands Crus. The Cote de Beaune is to the south. Most of its Grands Crus are white.
The Cote d’Or is an east-facing escarpment, providing ideal exposure for the vines. Typically, the best wines are found in the middle of the slope. The fertile plain at the hillside’s base produces wines that carry a basic Bourgogne appellation. As the ground starts to slope, improving drainage, one finds village-level wines. Higher on the slope, on poorer, stonier topsoil, are the Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards.

Louis Jadot Chardonnay Pouilly-Fuissé 2009
Snoothrank:
Really good French Chardonnay. Crisp, clean, hints of slate, lemon chiffon and lemon peel. Very nice acidity and a decent finish. Read More

Olivier Leflaive Pinot Noir Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru 2009
Snoothrank:
Clear and transparent ruby-red colour, very consistent.Intense and complex aromas, clearly perceiving red fruits such as cherrys under spirit.Very acid but also warm and rich of tannins, only at first might seem fulling the mouth, persistent, still seems not totally equilibrated. Read More

Domaine Gachot-Monot Côte de Nuits Villages 2010
Snoothrank:
This wine shows an elegance that is balanced, velvety, and smooth throughout. The nose and mouth begin with dark cherry, and raspberry, then the mid palate picks up acidity, then shows toast from the oak and finishes with a minerality that leaves you wanting to take another drink. I really enjoyed this Burgandy and would purchase it again. Read More

Joseph Drouhin Chorey les Beaune 2009

Domaine Jean Monnier & Fils Puligny-Montrachet Nosroyes 2008
Snoothrank:
Really, really good village white burgundy from Puligny-Montrachet. Great balance with a flinty, minerally taste and that fantastic tongue cleansing acidity. This is pure fruit, no oakiness or butter, not an ounce of flab on this. I'd be inclined to give it a higher score but I want to leave some room for when I next taste a Premier or Grand Cru.

Pierre Ponnelle Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains 2009
Snoothrank:
All grapes permitted is not quite true; only Pinot Noir and Gamay are allowed and the blend must be at least 33% PN. Rarely found these days, and the first I have tasted in decades, this 2009 has a nose of strawberry jam with a vegetable element that is nondescript. On the palate, a very tart entry - like strawberry Lik-m-aid crystals - but a wi... Read More
