Côte de Beaune

Again the bight fruit, ripe but still floral on the nose, good weight of silky body on the palate. Very attractively pure and straight.

There is a joyful and perky, redder line to the fruit -than the Chorey and a higher toned feel. Always more refined and elegant in the glass. This is a beauty. Classic lines and grace- but that house injection of joy kee...(read more)

New Wine this year. Between Beaune and Pommard (nearer Pommard) Just opposite Terre Rondes and Epenottes but on the plain. Good in warmer years - as does not dry out here. Firmer but clean and bright profile. Beaune real...(read more)

From Les Champs Rammes and La Mort, strange names they have for their vineyards in Ladoix. An even purple without the black centre. This will need the reduction to leave before it can more safely be judged. All in red fr...(read more)

This replaces the 'Comme Dessus' cuvee in the line-up this year at that vineyard was frosted 100%. A supple and rounded wine with old vines ripeness and it will be an easy wine to drink young.

This was to be bottled at the same time as the others, in November 2022. Like the whites it had been recently racked, but unlike them was still unsulphured. Fresh as you like, not much depth of colour, but the freshness...(read more)

Well rounded. Elegant. Still quite ripe but well balanced. Strawberry, raspberries. Sweet spice. Juicy with ripe tannins. Finishes well.

The Clos Rousseau class shows in the bluer colour, the lifted mineral side, the finesse of the tannins. Altogether very elegant and fine - dancing compared to the earthier Comme - and very long.

Super nose and attack. Very charming sweep of red fruits and floral notes. Delicious but more serious a tad tighter without being too hefty - just a bit leaner for now - will open and be a real charmer. Planted in 1983.

Very purple, with a smokier nose. Good pert fruit on the palate, with a lovely smoky, savoury backbone. Firm but gentle tannins. Lovely.

This is 1/3 Premier Cru (Brouillards and Ronceret). Refined style with a cooler, fresher fruit, even though still lots of volume, with very fine but present tannins. Another lovely village wine in the vintage.

4 parcels, two of which (Ronceret and Brouillard) are premiers crus. So silky - juicy fruit, red and blue, a cool fresh expression.
