From Petits Puits. Mostly on hard limestone - 'calcaire d'entroques'. Really quite expressive, the limestone seems to reflect a brightness of tone in the fruit, a good level of richness and a cer...(more info)

This is one-third domaine fruit and two-thirds bought-in, from appellations including Ladoix, Côte de Nuits Villages and Beaune which he has declassified. Rich and full, it has the beginnin...(more info)

From two separate parcels with differing soils, each brings its own personality with a fresh fruitness undercut with some complexing oak and a certain earthiness. Lovely mouthful of dark cherry a...(more info)

Harvested just after the vines on the Côte itself, as it faces south and ripens relatively early and 'gives wines which are always a bit easier to like - a bit more elegant', says Thibault....(more info)
