Côte d'Or

Mostly young vines, with just a small parcel of some older ones, but Olivier is rightly excited about this site. A bit of smoky mineral, wet stones - it's on a white limestone soil on a slope - s...(read more)

Frost means that Remi got just 2 barrels per HA. The lift here is fantastic. Then there are some more serious undertones, some 'matiere'. Herbs, dried savoury husks. Some cooked pear - crisper ap...(read more)

This is a vineyard with lots of iron in the shallow clay topsoil. Below is big lumps of Limestone. The results are great. Peppy and bright juice. With citrus zesty spritz on the nose which follow...(read more)

A great classic of a vineyard, and as it sounds, a rocky, white soil, very mineral. Discreet nose, very pure and straight. Rock crystal elegance here, very fine - there's thickness of body yet to...(read more)

Generous richness and volume. A dusting of sweetness. Juicy voluminous texture, lovely freshness of fruit, big but still bright. Powerful length. Very impressive.

Nose is all airy mineral, not really fruit at all. Maybe a hint of white flowers. More volume as one climbs the scale, sleek and full and positively vibrating with tension and fruit complexity. V...(read more)
