Côte d'Or

From vines in the bottom Puligny, and it shows in the flavour profile. The first of Vincent's wines we tasted at the winery, and the confirmation that we were in the presence of a master - there'...(read more)

My word, this is value for money. The 2015 'Vignes Nouvelles' has everything you want from a decent white Burgundy; weight from the ripe citrus fruit, a suggestion of vanilla from the oak and brisk ac...(read more)

(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)

The Clos de la Chatenière is just round the corner from the Meurgers des Dents de Chien, itself above le Montrachet. It has a more southerly aspect and comes across as a sunny wine with full ripe...(read more)

Separated by the width of a track from 1er Cru Goutte d'Or. Quite a jolly roundness here, ripe fruit which fills the palate with juice. Supple attack gives way to long fresh and quite intense fin...(read more)

The most open of all the Meursaults at this stage, as Rémi confirms; there is pineapple here as well as ripe citrus, a richness and a rather fab exotic character. Very easy to like.

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.

Slightly richer gold colour (than the Luraule), and fatter and broader flavoured. Spicier; really good chew of concentrated nutty flavour in the mid-palate. Long on fairly pointed acidity.

The name of the parcel apparently comes from the name of a Roman family that once lived here. You learn something new at every visit! A slightly greener look than the Chatenière, more floral on the nose...(read more)

Very pale greeny gold and very aromatic in a keen citrus way. Palate is fat and surprisingly full. Very pure and directed saline style, staying on lemon and citrus purity.

Oldest vines of the domaine, planted in 1940. Picked even after the Narvaux, because even though it is lower, it is round the corner into the beginning of the combe which goes up to Auxey Duresse...(read more)

Coming from 4 parcels, of which Meix Goudard is the biggest, which is on the level of the premier Crus (under les Macherelles), Blanchots - on the rock next to Criots, and Journoblots, which is under Cr...(read more)
