Double the Delight

Perfumed, with subtle cherry, cranberry and strawberry aromas and a hint of peaches. Medium-bodied with brightness and freshness. Vivid, lively, crunchy and fresh. Always excellent and super drinkable. Drink or hold.

Richer and darker - very enticing. Small parcels from Nuits Saint Georges (20%), Morey Saint Denis and most vines in Chambolle. Nose is very fine and pretty. Ripe and gorgeous palate, crushed strawberries and roses, with...(read more)

From the Chouilly grand cru.
Fresh pear, brioche, warm meadow hay. The spiciness of a summer hay meadow just before it’s cut – floral, golden-grassy, and satisfyingly savoury. Very rounded, approachable and with a...(read more)

Lovely bold nose of balsamic, red fruits, plums and herbs, spice and coffee. Touch of aniseed, red fruits, balsamic spice and a savoury undercut.

Sweet attack, surprising by its richness. Quite a 'plain' red and black fruit profile, but good. Simple but well done, and nicely long.

This site has a north-south exposition, a vineyard which touches the Premier Cru 'aux Échanges' at the top. It has more stones, and it's a hotter site, and it ripens earlier than their other village plots. Open an...(read more)

Partially destemmed, natural yeasts, 2 years in barriques, 25% new oak. There's a little balsamic tang to the berry fruit here, and whiff of iron. Very fine and measured palate, fine tannin, though the acidity is low. Au...(read more)

80% whole bunch fermentation, The sheer minerality in this means that it is not yet as showy on the nose as it was in 2019, but otherwise it's a very similar style, with a bright but not all that dark colour, a slow move...(read more)

Although initially shy, the 2022 unfurls with delicate layers of seashells, Meyer lemon and apple pie. Its acidity is taut as a tightrope, yet enveloped in flesh and quiet power. Complex, crystalline and my favourite vin...(read more)

Close to Pommard. This is a big step up from the Greves, with a much more silky flow. Fruit is dark and more lacy too. Pretty and elegant feel. Sleek fruit in the middle has nice depth, with pretty dots of ripe red deep...(read more)

The 2019 Côte Rôtie Les 400 De La Viallière is also brilliant. Deep ruby/plum-hued, a gorgeous array of black raspberries, blueberries, scorched earth, leather, and bacon fat are just some of its nuanc...(read more)

The nose here is deeper, darker and more indulgent that the Rosso. The great weight of fruit here is more savoury and evolved with mint, meat, spice and then there's damson, a perky cherry-skin zip adds lift and energy....(read more)
