TN: Bountiful Beaune (02 Germain/ChdChorey)
Midday on a lovely March day we got our power back, making the day
even more lovely. Fired up the grill, did 3 nice tuna steaks and some squash, the tuna was served over a cannelli bean salad. Enboldened by David B's Chevillon foray, I decided to try an '02. The 2002 Domaine du Ch.de Chorey "Les Vigne Franches V.V." *Beaune 1er is still showing as some new oak notes, and it's a bit on the glossy side. That said, it was fairly open with just a little air time, and I thoroughly enjoyed this. Black cherries, plums, floral notes and a little toast. Nicely balanced- the rich '02 fruit sitting on a bed of acid, with some tannic support struts. Oak is less apparent with time, and the last glass is best. This can age a while, but I enjoyed now. B + with some potential. Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent*wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't*drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no*promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.** |
