Jasper Morris MW, May 2020, Score: 87
In search of a simple, but delicious wine to go with herb and lamb sausages, eaten outside on a warm late spring evening, assisted by the perfume of our favourite roses, Madame Alfred Carrie`re and Fantin Latour though the latter’s scent is so sublimely powerful that it might drown the pinot aromatics. Back to the wine. I chose the 2012 vintage from my favourite Clos des Perrie`res vineyard in Meloisey, a village famed for its wine in the Middle Ages. This is a dense powerful wine for the Hautes Co^tes yet with good acidity. It is maturing only slowly but is in a good place for drinking with tonight’s food.
Region
Bourgogne
This blanket regional appellation can apply to wines throughout Burgundy (60% of the area's production) as long as they comply with regulations relating to grape type, yield and alcohol content. Reds and roses are from Pinot Noir or Gamay. Whites are Chardonnay. They are usually the most straightforward of the Burgundy wines, and as a result are the least expensive and the most approachable upon release. In the hands of a more serious producer these can represent exceptional value and quality. The wines are made with the same care and attention to detail as their grander wines. However, they may not qualify for a village or communal appellation because the vines are too young or the vineyard area is outside the appellation boundary.
