Lovely nose of brambly red fruit; raspberry conserve and crushed strawberry with a touch of pepper. Palate is medium-bodied, sweet on entry with a cassis lift, then moves into tobacco and stewed berries. Smooth texture,...(read more)

From 4 hectares of vines, split between Nuits, Chambolle and the Hautes Cotes. Only three pigeage across its two week maceration. Very well structured for Bourgogne Rouge with lovely freshness and dense savoury fruit.

20-30% Pinot Blanc in the vineyard. Long fermentation, so still half-made when we tasted. Good volume and body, it's something a little different, but very likeable. Not very deep soils - it's on pebbles.

The vines for this Cote de Nuits are across the road from the Clos Marachele as go through Primeaux. Planted in 1937, it's easy to see where the concentration comes from. It is quite a delicate wine, at first inspection,...(read more)

(primarily chardonnay with about 30% pinot blanc). The pinot blanc in the blend is in evidence as there is a touch of exoticism in the form of melon and pear compote. The fleshy, round and generous medium weight flavors...(read more)

A vineyard across the road from Nuits Saint Georges Clos de la Maréchale, planted in 1937. It's always riper here and this is showing really nicely with a fresh silk feel and purity of purple fruit. Nice length.

First vintage for Thibault of a decent-sized plot (1.4ha) in this nicely-placed vineyard in the north of the appellation (actually in the commune of Brochon). 10-20cm of fine clay over rocky scree. There's no need for wh...(read more)

from 5 parcels dotted all round the village, including a parcel of Mal Carrées planted between 1954 and 1962. As in previous vintages this is sleek and sappy with a silky fresh palate which is clearly expressive o...(read more)

Part of Beaux Bruns is Premier Cru, so this is close - on clay, a richer palate than Thibault's 'Vieilles Vignes' cuvée.

45% whole bunch, this comes from Fouchères, which is above les Borniques (a highly-regarded 1er Cru which borders Le Musigny). 20-30cm of orange-red clay over rock. North-east facing. Dark and beautifully silky, t...(read more)

Very limestone soil here. Makes this feel very firm and mineral in the mouth. Like having a pebble in there with some pretty red fruit too. Perfumed lifted just ripe, juicy fruit and then mineral purity and dusty grip. O...(read more)

Big, quite oaky nose (there's just one barrel this year, so the choice was new barrel or not, no half-measures possible), lots of volume and richness, with real drive too. Rather fab!

(2018 was the first vintage for this wine; 50% whole clusters). Ripe aromas of plum, black cherry and earth enjoy a floral top note. There is excellent volume to the suave and seductive yet sleek medium-bodied flavors th...(read more)

A vineyard on fine clay, on the Morey side of the village, but still 400m from the entrance to Morey. The upper part of the lieu-dit is classified 1er Cru. 50% whole bunch. Cool and fresh, supple tannins in a v...(read more)

Very rich body, some spiciness, all the Charlemagne drive and power surging in under the initial sweetness and baby fat - lovely texture and length.
