Background information
During a visit on 18 Nov 2005, Thierry Brouin explained he was well aware of the problem but that no solution had been found so far except drinking the wines younger (!) – which makes sense but is not necessarily what we want to hear!
Wines
1999
- Puligny Clos du Caillerets (April 2006) : not oxidised, mature, quite rich and forward, a bit too much oak (JE Simond)
- Puligny Clos du Caillerets (Aug-Oct 2007): four bottles tasted, three not oxidized, showing minerality but a bit lacking in mid-palate depth, and the most recent showing partial oxidation (slight) [Don Cornwell]
- Puligny Clos du Caillerets (2 Aug 2008): partially oxidized [Don Cornwell]
- Puligny Clos du Caillerets (27 May 2009): another partially oxidized bottle [Don Cornwell]
