Chablis
and Burgundy
Garratt
Sullivan, Corbally Wines
1.
Petit Chablis, Agnès and Didier Dauvissat, 2010 
Grapefruit nose. And more grapefruit
in the mouth with loads of fresh acidity and a lovely warmth in the
mouth.Nice mineral finish. .Left on its lees in stainless steel for 6-12
months. Great
with a bit of fish.
€12.45
2. Chablis,
Agnès and Didier Dauvissat, 2010
Beautiful,
pale, sparkling-clear. Pears, limes, citrus. Beautifully balanced,
clean, minerally. Great finish. 4 ha. No oak, 6-12 months on
its
lees in stainless steel. This is outstanding at the price.
€13.95
3. Chablis, 1er
Cru, "Beauroy", Agnès and Didier Dauvissat, 2010
Pale yellow. Jellied fruit and marzipan.Toasty (but no oak); dense fruit.
Luscious, complex - only starting on its journey. I'd love to try this
in 5-6 years.
2 ha only.
€18.00
4.
St. Véran, Maison
Lou Dumont, 2011
Rich, citrus fruit and minerality.
Fresh and well-balanced. Needs some more time - maybe 3-5 years? Lovely
€15.25
5. Pouilly
Fuissé, Maison Lou Dumont, 2010
Much
more buttery than the St. Véran but lower acidity - perhaps the extra
year? A very fine wine with a lovely, long finish. However, the St. Véran is better
value.
€21.00
6.
Bourgogne, Maison Lou
Dumont, 2008
A
clear, pale red. Some fruit gums, decent acidity, hint of something
medicinal. Though it will undoubtedly improve with age I think you can
do better at the price.
€15.95
7.
Nuits St Georges, Old Vines, Maison Lou Dumont,
2008.
Wonderfuly
fresh with loads of berry fruit and a touch of spice, tannins and a
hint of that maçeration carbonique effect of which I am not fond. Way
too young; wait 15 years or so
€27.45
8.
Chambolle Musigny, Maison Lou Dumont, Gevrey Chambertin, 2008.
Garnet colour. Violets on the nose. Strawberries
and farmyard; silky, meaty, complex and balanced. Lovely.
€32.50
9. Gevrey Chambertin, 1er Cru, "Les
Champeaux", Maison Lou Dumont, 2005.
Deep
red; much darker than I'd expect from a Pinot noir. nose of berry
fruit, cedarwood and vanilla. Huge extract; full; spice,
farmyard, loads of fruit. Quite alcoholic (13.5%) and showing but that
will probably dissipate with age. Again, needs another 15 years or so.
Wonderful.
€46.50
10.
Corton Grand Cru, Maison Lou Dumont,
2001
Rich ruby. Aroma of prunes. Very complex wine with fresh
mouth feel and a long finish. However, I found it a bit sour. Not my
favourite.
€62
