Red Burgundy

If you're after Burgundy with plenty of 'juice' then this is the bottle for you. It's full of joyous, fresh fromboise fruit and bright acidity. Far from being one dimensional, there is impressive mid-palate...(read more)

Deep colour, matched by the deep round fruit, which is silky and sweet. A touch of new wood in the middle which just needs to melt in.

Silky and fresh juicy expression wrapped in smooth volume. Excellent from now.

Thibault's cuvée of Bourgogne includes village-level vines from Ladoix and Marsannay, which he de-classifies to make one decent-sized cuvée. Just one pigeage. Good precise fruit, but quite backwa...(read more)
