Stephen Brook gives his top three wines from the Lea & Sandeman Burgundy 2008 tasting
White wines showed strongly at the Lea & Sandeman tasting.From Henri Germain a fine Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot:Sweet oaky coconut nose, very bright and fresh; plump and full-bodied, concentrated and assertive, with firm acidity and grip, and excellent length. 17.5. £399 IB.Equally fine is the Puligny-Montrachet Pucelles from Henri Boillot:Muted yet opulent apricot nose; broad, juicy, and concentrated, with fine acidity and minerality, persistent with a long dry finish. 17.5. £519 IB.The reds showed less well, as many were still recovering from recently completed malolactic fermentations.Very impressive, though pricy, is the Charmes Chambertin from Confuron Cotetidot:Generous cherry and raspberry nose; rich and powerful, concentrated and tannic, has plenty of drive and complexity. Good length. 17.5. £723 IB.Look out too for the austere and mineral Meursaults from Remi Jobard.Stephen Brook
