Xavier Besson Givry le Petit Pretan

點擊次數(shù)：3118

Bessons’ 2008 Givry Le Petit Pretan features tart yet ripe dark cherry and plum tinged with cardamom and smoky black tea. It needed a shaking on account of high CO2 and is set to receive a Kieselguhr filtration (frequent practice at this address) that I doubt will detract from the wine’s satisfying sense of freshness, clarity of fruit, and smoky, chalky, salty mineral finishing nuances. Look for this to satisfy and invigorate from bottle for at least 6-8 years. The Bessons have been a source of rare red and white Burgundy value for more than a decade, and have often demonstrated their ability to rise to the challenge of a vintage (although they did not succeed in 2007 to the extent that they did in 2008, or even 2004). Their use of 30-60% new wood seldom results in any signs of overt oakiness, in part because some wines are raised in a combination of barrique and 500-liter tonneaux. But like other growers utilizing larger barrel sizes in very cold cellars, the CO2 was very slow to dissipate from their 2008s after malo, and as a result these wines had not yet been bottled (though they had long since been racked to tank) when I tasted them in March.A Peter Vezan Selection (various importers), Paris; fax 011 33 1 42 55 42 93

The Besson 2005 Givry Le Petit Pretan smells of dried cherries, smoked and roasted meats, and cherry pit. Clear and juicy on the palate, with nutmeg and clove accents to its sweet fruit and meat, this offers a slightly rustic tannic chewiness, a good sense of vigor, and a satisfying, sappy saturation of flavors. Wait two or three years if possible to enjoy it. The Bessons have been a source for some excellent values in both red and white Givry and Xavier continues to hone his skills and expand this domaine.Also recommended: 2005 Givry Le Grands Pretans (unknown; 85).A Peter Vezan Selection (various importers), Paris; fax 011 33 1 42 55 42 93.
