We just returned from two weeks in Burgundy...whew! I tasted a lot of
2006's and barrel tasted a bunch of 2007's. I think the 2006 vintage
might be a bit under rated after the 2005 vintage but I found the
wines to be well balanced with bright fruit and good acidity. Perhaps
a wine to be drunk sooner than later but overall the reds were clean,
fresh and spicy and the whites were quite bright and lively.

as far as the 2007's go...I never seem to get much from barrel tasting
and in this case most were still undergoing malo so it was even harder
to get a sense of the wine. The tannins seemed well controlled and
the fruit seemed ripe. Only time will tell how the wines will fair
but the makers all agreed that it would be a nice bottle of wine.

The 2008 vines were about two weeks behind due to cold and rainy
spring but they were catching up fast given the two weeks of perfect
weather than we enjoyed while visiting.

Perrot-Minot, Gros F&S and Brocard were my favorites but we tasted at
about 15 different places and spent French memorial day in Vosne
Romanee with Bernard Gros.
