Domaine Bernard Burgaud

The issue with 2009, in Burgaud's opinion "is that the oak stands out in the wines so they need to be aged for the fruit to catch up." By contrast, he added, in 2010 the oak was absorbed almost immediately. "The wines are expressive and hiding their tannins already. You can practically drink them straight from the barrel." Not that he recommends rushing to drink them on release: "2010 will be an aging vintage on its balance, not on its power, which is what 2009 will hopefully do." There's never more than 20% new oak used here, "for polish and a little sweetening," which no doubt accounts for the silkiness of Burgaud's wines, even from more structured vintages.
