Red Burgundy

Joël has absolutely nailed it once again with this. It smells youthful, but the palate is impressively intense. The fruit is nice, pretty, 'just' well-ripened. Red berries. Good lick of acid...(more info)

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...(more info)

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...(more info)

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 60-100 year old vines in 8 different parcels higher up the slope than the Rouchoux, this cuvée now represents half the production of Thibault's Moulin à Vent domaine. Very deep...(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.

Nice constitution, juicy and mineral. Fun summer pudding brightness goes through to the finish. Could wait two or three years, but it's a lovely defined fruit right now.

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…
