If you type in "Adamas Wines" to Google you will be directed to many websites telling you that Adamas are relaunching Burgundy to a new market with simple, easy to understand labels, and how it is a breath of fresh air in the crusty traditional world of Burgundian wine. Well to be brutally honest, this isn't a new idea as Supermarkets have been doing it for years, but Adamas has taken the concept away from the 'own label' brands and put it into independent retailers and, unlike the supermarket wines, they have produced good wines.
Adamas Bourgogne Chardonnay, 2006 £10.99
Quite a fresh, honeyed nose, with a touch of woody sap. The palate is nice, a bit minerally with pineapple skin. It's a very clean wine. Can't fault it as long as all it's rivals match the price at £10.99 7/10
Adamas Meursault, 2006
Perfumy nose. Very pretty, ripe melon and a touch of peach. The palate is a bit chunky. Salty stone flavours with pineapple chunks and a leafy flavour. A very and clean finish. 8/10
Adamas Bourgogne Pinot Noir, 2006 £10.99
Not at all stewed. Good aroma, a little pig pooh sweetness coming off the wine and then cherries and raspberries. The palate is very nice, balanced with good herby flavours, a little soft grippy tannin grabbing you with baked raspberries, A long, dry finish. Very nice. 8/10
Adamas Fleurie, 2006 £12.49
Gentle, a slight sweet fresh raspberries but without the tang you usually get from raspberries. The palate is soft, good earthy spice and very soft. 7.5/10
This is a small company, and my only criticism is that the prices are a touch above what they should be. That is not to say that they are not worth the money, they are, but without too much hunting you can find alternatives of equal quality for less. These are all clean, nice wines that you should hunt a bit for.
