Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)Fine pale lemon. The bouquet has the warmth of the vintage plus the habitual subtlety of Genevrières. A fine thread of stony lemon scented fruit through the middle, a slight warmth at the back, but good acidity. Just needs longer in elevage. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2024. |

Burghound (92-94)Sweet spot Outstanding. Elegant if restrained aromas are cool and pure with notes of apple, acacia blossom, lemon-lime and a whiff of mineral reduction. The racy and wonderfully refined middle weight flavors are lacy, indeed almost delicate, with plenty of lovely underlying tension on the lingering and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is pretty much classic Bouchères that should age well over the medium-term. In a word, lovely. |
