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)

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)

From a parcel of 55 year old vines. This is slightly richer gold colour (than the 'Luraule' tasted just before), and fatter and broader flavoured. Spicier; really good chew of concentrated nutty...(read more)

This is really ripe - a fat weight of fruit, a touch of sweetness - and it's a great terroir. It's a big, big wine, joyous and mouth-filling, and brilliantly long.

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)

55 year old vines, above Genevrières. A fuller nose than Luraule, more breadth of minerals, a flavour of rock-dust and a big nutty sort of flavour. Not as sleek as the Luraule, but more obvious c...(read more)

Delicate nose, nice freshness - on palate fat, pure, mineral with good acidity and freshness. Very much the Jean-Marc style, quite soft and enveloping - intensity builds. Quite plump - this is go...(read more)

Trezin always makes for a mineral Puligny, and this is no exception, taut and fine, zippy even, with a lick of limestone. Joseph says that it always makes a wine like this, bursting with brightne...(read more)

Toasty nose loaded with vanilla and spice - plus cool lemon juice and a tad of pithiness. Palate is brighter, good feel. Levity tension. Good ripeness to the grapefruit and pears - but super line...(read more)

A different register to the Chassagnes, surprisingly mineral again, lovely freshness. All the fat of the vintage and intensity and length too. Very attractive.

This is the last year for the Charmes for quite a bit: the vineyard has been pulled up for replanting. After the open Genevrières, this is back to the tightness of the Poruzots. Fresh almonds, lo...(read more)
