Red Burgundy

This wine certainly stood out at the wide-ranging Drouhin tasting. Some definite class and spice. A bit of oak showing, but the finesse and succulence is there and this floats - there's some good...(read more)

This is fine toned. More red berries, with a sherberty fizz, followed by darker fruit. Really jolly with a lot of pep and energy. More elegant than the Chorey, really fun to drink. Balanced.

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...(read more)

Ripe and grand, at once betraying it's origin 'on the Côte' (it is from Corgoloin, just south of Nuits). A underpinning of hard stone giving a brightening support and vivacity. Rich and supple, a...(read more)

This is made from vines from Thibault's own domaine and some bought fruit - all from village level vineyards in Marsannay, Ladoix and Cotes de Nuits Villages. The nose is straight and firm, mediu...(read more)

Lighter on its feet, cherry, strawberry, with some toasty oak notes, grippy rich tannins, again red fruit, cherry, strawberry, stony depth, decent acidity, with some wood notes on the finish.

From vines ten kilometres west of Nuits, on white marl and limestone. Quite a rich and fleshy nose, with more weight than the other Hautes Côtes cuvées. Vines that face straight south, and it is harves...(read more)

Unquestionably Philippe's finest terroir in Marsannay, on the border with Fixin, very hard limestone known as 'calcaire de Comblanchien' - named after the village just south of Nuits where it is...(read more)

Tasting superbly at the Lea & Sandeman Summer party. Pretty, floral, blueberry and petals. Ever so slightly chilled the volume and structure here are perfectly countered by the fine lines and a c...(read more)
