[TN] '09 Vissoux CT
Jean wasn't feeling so great this evening, so we went with classic
"comfort food" (roast chicken and potatoes with a spinach salad). Jean requested a red-fruited Beaujolais with that dinner, so down to the cellar for a bottle of: 2009 Domaine de Vissoux (Jean-Pierre Chermette) Beaujolais Vieilles Vignes "Cuvée Traditionelle" nose: red fruits, a hint of grapefruit, floral palate: lush and juicy, smooth, vibrant acidity, medium body Just lovely, really pretty. To me, this epitomizes what non-Cru Beaujolais is all about ("Vin de soif" as the French put it): a wine for drinking now and enjoying. It's all of that and more. I'm sure that it'll last for a few more years and with a natural cork shouldn't fade too quickly, but will it be any better than it is today? I'm not so sure. Mark Lipton |
