Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)
Mid red purple. The sample is not quite as fresh (sample issue, not the wine itself). But the seamless quality of pinot planted in this vineyard manages to show through anyway. There is a volume of dark red berry fruit, a charm through the middle of the palate, much less evident structure though it is clearly there, and a fine long finish. (Antonin has also made a very small volume from Clos St-Jean by the pedicel method, leaving in the small bits of stem but removing the core. This will probably not be sold commercially, but is very interesting. It displays a pinker lift to the ruby colour, and a beautifully lifted nose, bringing out the rose petals, adding a perception of enhanced freshness, multi-layered and still with all the grace.)

Bright, deep red. Reticent but highly complex scents of raspberry, rose petal, white pepper, red licorice and mint. At once silky and sharply delineated, conveying outstanding intensity without any undue weight. Utterly seamless Chambertin if a bit youthfully linear today.

Dense and palate-coating, offering concentrated cassis and blueberry flavors that stretch out and gain vivacity with air. Dusty tannins give grip to a penetrating, long finish that features suave floral pastille and berry liqueur qualities. I had the chance to revisit the 2011 Grandes Places and, as was the case last year, it's showing a surprisingly open-knit character, with sappy dark fruit and floral qualities and no rough edges. While it has the depth to suggest that up to a decade of patience would be rewarded, there's plenty going on to grab one's attention now as well.Inc. TAX€162.53
