Domaine la Colombe Chasselas Vigne En Bayel

Cork in good shape. Nice medium gold colour. On the nose, aromas of mango, butterscotch and hay. On the palate, the attack is frank, with the aromas as found on the nose. Less acidity, more bitterness, though still pleasant to drink, without it being refreshing today. This is very evolved and is more a confirmation of the tasting from last Summer where I felt this had clearly advanced on the downward slope. To be honest, the producer recommends to drink …

Cork in good shape. Medium straw yellow. Despite still looking young, for the first time, the extraordinary balance this usually has is completely off. Also, within 7 hours of opening, stored in the fridge, it is heavily oxidised. They say this wine is good for up to 8 years and we are at nine, I'm am just surprised at the huge change in the 8 months since the last. It may be a defective bottle. I'll have my last one …

Standard cork in good shape. Nice medium gold colour. On the nose upon opening, aromas of honeysuckle, touch of honey, citrus and white fruit. On the palate, the attack is frank, lifted and fruity with the aromas as found on the nose. There is a good length, finishing on a fine touch of petrol oddly reminding me a touch of an Alsatian riesling, but only for that touch on the final. It is still quite fresh. This is really quite …

Cork in good shape. Nice medium pale straw yellow colour. On the nose, at first, timid aromas of pear, honeysuckle, acacia, lemon and gun flint. The aromas become more powerful with air. On the palate, the attack is frank, showing the fruit aromas found on the nose, with a good acidity and ending on a very good length on the gun flint aromas. This is very pleasant, and seems to be between two ages. It is rather light-footed and fine. …

Belle robe jaune pâle. Au nez, des arômes un peu timide de poire, chèvrefeuille, acacias, citron et pierre-à-fusil. En bouche, l'attaque est filigranée avec une approche sur les mêmes arômes qu'au nez, avec une bouche qui évolue sur les arômes plutôt fruit et amande crue enveloppés d'une belle/fine acidité vers une finale sur le minérale avec une belle amertume et une bonne longueur. Très beau. Avec aération, le vin prend un peu plus de volume et de poids, mais demeure …

Coravin. Nice pale yellow/straw. On the nose, acacias and honeysuckle as well as minerals. There is also some sweet pear. Very pleasant yet more timid than the Favarges tasted in parallel, though more complexe. On the palate, the attack is frank with a good acidity as well as some mineral bitterness. Good length. This wine is still way too young in my book, and as indicated in my previous note, if possible, I should wait till 2019 before tasting the …

Coravin - Belle robe or pâle. Au nez, c’est en train de s’ouvrir avec de la poire, la pierre à fusil, mais aussi l’acacias. En bouche, l’attaque est vive et fruitée. Il y a une concentration moyenne, mais une très bonne longueur démarrant par le fruit et finissant sur la pierre-à-fusil. Le Bayel demeure le plus aromatique des deux et est, aujourd’hui, le plus intéressant des deux aussi. Dans tous les cas, on n’est pas près d’être prêt. À priori, …
