Côte de Nuits

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)

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)

As so often a paler colour here. Possibly rather on the back foot - nose is discreet, but although there is a lovely harmony in the mouth this is not fully expressive yet.

Old vines indeed and it's obvious in the creaminess of the fruit. Very rich and velvety, dense fruit savour. Perhaps not the length of really class terroirs, but for the money…

All the body of the village wine with a bit extra, really marked out by it's delicate nose of red fruit, the pointedness of which carries though the palate like a thread of red light. Fat and ful...(more info)

'Petites Noix' is a name Stéphane has come up with for this cuvée, rather than being the vineyard name - it is a mixture of Gruenchers and Clos Bouley. Round and rich, but less 'in...(more info)
