This has a lovely deep centre of raspberry, cherry and damson fruit chased up by a brisk crispness that makes it incredibly refreshing. One that would be delicious with a pot-roast partridge, baked aubergine or grouse.

Lightish crimson. Fragrant, peppery, stony, dark-red fruit. This is lovely, a serious Bourgogne, firm but supple tannins, real depth. GV

A new cuvée from Virgile for the 2021 vintage, this is a pure Pinot Noir, and he's made in in an intentionally 'glou-glou' style. Good colour, fresh fruity nose, sappy palate, a delight.

This appellation, defined in 1993, is for wines in the hills to the west of Dijon, at the very top of the Côte de Nuits. 100% destemmed. Just bottled when tasted in October 2022, and this is already expressive, a j...(read more)

From vines in Puligny Montrachet, between the town and the road. Smart site for Bourgogne Rouge! The wine belies this terroir somehow. With the tension and precision you would expect from here. Pert and pretty red fruit...(read more)

Bright and very fresh aromas include those of red pinot fruit, cherry and a background hint of earth. I like the vibrancy of the delicious middleweight flavors that conclude in a mildly rustic finish. There is enough str...(read more)

Darker fruit expression here, it's richer and more concentrated. Just a little more structured and could do with a couple of years in bottle.

The style of the domaine is for dark wines with good richness, and this is all here, but it's fresher and tauter than the 2020, with a fruit given a higher tone and length by the fresher acidity.

Bottled last week and no dimming the lovely nose. Very inviting waft of flower blooms and Pinot fruit. Warm red berries. Fresh attack with cool acid and lovely push. Fruit is quite broad in the middle - but still quite p...(read more)

This replaces the 'Comme Dessus' cuvee in the line-up this year at that vineyard was frosted 100%. A supple and rounded wine with old vines ripeness and it will be an easy wine to drink young.

From Les Champs Rammes and La Mort, strange names they have for their vineyards in Ladoix. An even purple without the black centre. This will need the reduction to leave before it can more safely be judged. All in red fr...(read more)

Riche volume on the attack, and then the freshness of the vintage comes behind, tightening the tannins on the finish.
