Côte de Nuits

From two parcels of vines in Corgoloin just south of Nuits, one sixty years old, the other thirty-five. Real Côtes de Nuits class and definition here. Nice up beat red and black fruit. Some raspberry and perky cran...(read more)

this is a true Old Vine' cuvée coming from 2 plots - one is 75 years old the other is more than 85. Riper and sweeter attack than the Terre Nobles. Really quite primary when tasted in November, and there is a more...(read more)

Usually quite a generous feel here as the vines have a good sunny exposition. This is a blend of 2 parcels in ‘Les Crais Gillons’ and so Grains Fins is a cuvée name, which is very appropriate as there is a very fi...(read more)

Faconnières has always been one of the signature wines of this cellar - it is under Clos de La Roche. A broader style of wine (than the Chambolle Sentiers), dry and pure on wild hedegrow fruit, a touch of blackber...(read more)

This cuvée is from Gruenchers and Clos Boulet. Beautifully aromatic, but it is the sheer volume on the palate that is the distinctive mark of this wine. Volume and tannic depth and density - a big style with a lov...(read more)

Light to medium deep colour, quite elegant nose, more red fruit than floral, with a heartening middle ground of sweet red cherry fruit, the oak tannins behind do not get in the way, good length and just enough acidity. I...(read more)
