Côte de Beaune

From seven or more little parcels around the bottom of the village under Morgeot. Fresh and juicy with a lovely thread of salinity as well as good volume.

20-30% Pinot Blanc in the vineyard. Long fermentation, so still half-made when we tasted. Good volume and body, it's something a little different, but very likeable. Not very deep soils - it's on pebbles.

100% frosted in 2021 - always early ripening and budding so it got hit! Great to have it back in 2022. Pretty nose with blossom and citrus notes. Palate has some good crisp apple edged fruit and gentle, warm lemon note....(read more)

Replanted to Chardonnay in 2019 after 3 years fallow. Remi's Pinot Noir vines were very old and reached the tipping point so he pulled them out. Lovely and racy. This is sleek too - some gentile weight too. Working the s...(read more)

This Chassagne cuvée comes from 3 parcels of vines that have been in the family for years. Including Meix Godards and Les Blanchots Dessus. They are all on edge of Criots or 1er Cru sites. Coming from higher plots...(read more)

The second of 2 new Monthélie Blancs this year. Nicely textured - less polished, a shade more easy to read than the Meursaults at this stage. Good fruit, nice feel, but less grace and charm, as you would expect. Y...(read more)

This parcel is just 200m away from Chalumeaux - and higher up the slope. The nose here has a softness and a generous feel. But the tension builds quickly on the palate. This has great acidity - clean lines - tighter fram...(read more)

A rich glowing red purple. This has a meaty blood orange concentration to the nose. Very interesting, but could be fresher? Excellent intensity on the palate, and now the red fruit does come across with additional energe...(read more)

Not tasted during our visit.

High acidity from this plot due to high proportion of old vines. Bottled a week before tasting.
Great intensity, wonderful expression of ripe pears and greengage fruit. Beautiful refreshing acidity. Great salty li...(read more)

Under the family home. Perfect balance of limestone, clay and sand.
Certainly moved up a register here, in the sense of opulence of fruit from this vintage. The nose is much more powerful and expressive, yet with...(read more)
