Plum paste, cooked ginger, and a brackish note of alkalinity in the nose of Morot’s 2007 Beaune Aigrots lead to a polished palate that nicely balances suggestions of cocoa powder with invigoratingly tart but sweet fruit, while suggestions of crushed stone, humus, tobacco, and leather add interest to a finish free of obtrusive tannin.
Geoffrey Choppin de Janvry was among those growers to report that more rigorous sorting was required for his 2008 fruit than had been needed the previous vintage. I tasted his 2008s from tank, where they were spending a bit longer than usual, in order to gas-out after very late malos.
