The bourgogne blanc from Vogue is made from young vines on the grand cru vineyard Musigny. The 2003 version is showing some mature notes in the big and fruity bouquet.

Roses de Jeanne Rosé de Saignée Creux d'Enfer 2004 from Cedric Bouchard was quite a strange glass. Quite a lot of sweetness and a very expressive sweet fruit. Not a very great depth or complexity, all in all a rather uninteresting glass. Have not tasted this producer before, but this wine really …
