Côte d'Or

The only one of Rémi's wines from vineyards not certified organic (yet). Showing quite well in terms of structure, the wine has more energy and sense of purpose, but Rémi is well aware that that...(read more)

Frionnes seems to be revelling in the conditions of 2015 - a mix of exciting brightness and freshness. Olivier says this tastes electric - which in discussion means he is thinking of the effect o...(read more)

Quite rich; there's a nutty side to this, grillé, savoury, fresh and pure. Well done!

(no Chenes this year - all in this village wine, as pre 2015.) Tasted from barrel. The weight strikes you immediately in the mouth. Good caramelly, nicely oaky feel, smartly judged. Quite broad f...(read more)

Sweet and fat, very gourmand and salivating, an energy in the roundness. Not very mineral, it has a round enveloping generous character, then lemony tonic brightness on the finish.

Mineral, driven, a tighter drive than the village Saint Aubin or Chassagne, a distinct step up in terms of directed length and ageing potential - very good 'village' Puligny.
