Côte d'Or

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...(more info)

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...(more info)

Morgeot is the largest vineyard in Chassagne at 60 hectares. The soil is mainly clay and stone. Full bodied supported by good tension. The vanilla adds depth and volume. Obvious charm and pleasur...(more info)

The 'younger' vines that make up this plot are now 40 years old, the older ones over 80. Clay and limestone. Expressive again, juicily aromatic 'a bit phenolic', says Olivier, going on to explain...(more info)

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...(more info)

Only a tiny bit more colour than the Chevalières, but significantly more volume. The nose may be delicate with citrus purity, but the palate surprises with its weight. Shot through with le...(more info)

Fleshy expression like the Saint Aubin la Combe. Saline too, but even richer. A lovely savoury edge which gives it almost an umami feel. Long, chewy mineral finish.

Oh yes. Lovely attack. Bright zinging fruit peps, mineral line and impressive weight. It's all here. This is super. Amazing impact! It's full, dense and broad, yet light on its feet because of th...(more info)

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...(more info)

Fatter than the Poruzots, a touch more generous in feel, more filled-out, the Genevrières just gets its act together earlier. Lovely length and balance.

(from a .62 ha parcel in Le Rognet, which is in Ladoix). A difficult nose is presently composed by notes of reduction, sulfur and soft wood. Rich, full-bodied and powerful flavors are also blesse...(more info)
