Nice, open aroma, some oak perhaps, very full-on Pinosity. Very ripe and very aromatic; this isn't bad at all for a ripe style.
René Bouvier Marsannay La Morisotte 2009
24,60€; 13% abv. 10% new oak and sadly even such an amount shows. But apart from that, this is a pretty nice expression of Pinot (I haven't tasted enough Marsannay to know if this is in any way representative of the terroir) if you don't mind a big, rugged wine lacking in finesse. And I really don't mean that in a bad way! This somehow reminds me of those old Camille Girouds. Thick palate, much ripeness, much ruggedness, yet good structure. I'm not sure whether or not I like it. But I suspect I might find it a rustic delight in 5-10 years.
