2006 Michel Picard Corton Clos des Fietres Beltramo's 8 of 9

›
This wine was a mystery. The nose was subdued. It really did not give off much of anything. The wine itself started with a burst of tannin a...

2006 La Pousse d'Or Corton Clos du Roi Beltramo's 9 of 9

›
Okay, this was the best wine of the group by quite a margin. It was also the most expensive at $115 per bottle. What made this special? Firs...

2005 Joseph Voillot Pommard "Clos Micault" Beltramo's 7 of 9

›
This wine starts with a dark color and right away on the nose backs it up with a heavy berry nose, mixed with a slightly burnt hint. This wi...

2006 La Pousse d'Or Volnay "Clos des 60 Ouvrees" Beltramo's 6 of 9

›
Nose of berries and a lovely ruby color. Fresh fruit starts off the mouth and opens up with strawberry hints. It is very light, but with exc...

2005 Bruno Clair Savigny-les Beaune "La Dominode" Beltramo's 5 of 9

›
This was a bit of an odd one. It was closed in the same way that the Mongeard-Mugneret, and on the first sip I thought it was going to be a ...

2006 Mongeard-Mugneret Savigny-les Beaune "Les Narbantons" Beltramo's 4 of 9

›
This was a very closed wine. Essentially no nose in the glass. Follow that up with the taste of chalky dirt and gravel. Not a revelation. Cl...

2006 Simon Bize et Fils Savigny-les Beaune "Les Fournaux" Beltramo's 3 of 9

›
Berry/cherry nose, lovely color in the glass. Starts with a tight acid bite, but loosens up and has a nice dark fruit, blackberry(?), flavor...

2005 Chateau de la Maltroye Chassagne Montrachet Rouge "La Boudriotte" Beltramo's 2 of 9

›
This wine started flat on all accounts, opened up on the nose a bit, with Cinnamon and ginger(?). The taste was bitter, strong tannin and ac...

2005 Tollot-Beaut Chorey-Cote de Beaune, Beltramo's 1 of 9

›
Simple, open strawberry nose, moderate structure. Quite drinkable today, but this is not going to last for years. 5th place out of the 9 win...

Beltramo's January 31 Red Burgundy Tasting

›
The next sequence will be a very brief set of notes on 9 French Burgundies. Prices range from $30 to $115. Beltramo's has a very functio...

2006 F Magnien Criots-Batard-Montrachet 6 of 9

›
Could not really figure this one out. It was a nice sip of wine, but even blind without the price, it was not what I look for in a Burgundy....

2006 Antonin Guyton Corton-Charlemagne 1 of 9

›
Nose was a fruit blend with what was a very faint nose of port. Others were said to have thought Cognac. But while an odd flavor smell when ...

2006 Bernard Morey Chassagne Motrachet "Vide Bourse" 9 of 9

›
I think this was me. I heard another couple of guys talking and they liked this. To me the nose was closed and the wine was over dry, almost...

2006 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin "En Remilly" 3 of 9

›
This in many respects was the wine of the tasting for me. The price is 1/3 or less the two wines that finished ahead of it, but it was their...

2006 Oliver Leflaie Saint-Aubin "En Remilly" 7 of 9

›
Started with a nose of fruit, again predominantly apple. The first taste was flat. Cleared my palate again, and waited awhile to try it. The...

2006 Chateau Fuisse - Pouilly Fuisse "Les Brules" 5 of 9

›
Again a fresh apple nose, sweeter than the Xavier. The wine started slow but ended with a very polished finish of pear flavor and a bit of l...

2005 Xavier Monnot - Monthelie "Les Duresses" 8 of 9

›
Nice nose of fresh apple, tasted more of sour apple. Very tight and dry, not very minerally. Bottle $39.99, taste $4. Back in awhile. leh
