Côte de Beaune

This spends 12 months in barrel. Not giving much away on the nose but lovely density & structure to the fruit on the palate. Notes of red apple, citrus and white orchard fruits. Good phenolics. Lovely balance. Very g...(read more)

Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin "A truly delicious and harmonious wine. Pale gold colour, very bright. The aromas bring to mind honey, almond and lemongrass (citronella). As the wine matures, intense f...(read more)

Quite full and harmonious, this is tautly mineral and dry at the moment to the edge of austerity. Give it a year to soften.

Similar volume to the Puligny, but not the fruit sweetness, this is excellent too - a little firmer and possibly a sunnier expression, which is freshened by the mildly phenolic finish.

Nearly ready for bottling when we saw it, an immediate expressive white fruit nose, supple palate with that citrus juice enlivening it.

A steep hillside which has to be worked by hand. Although well-exposed in terms of orientation, it is shaded by the facing hills and gets 1 to 1.5 less hours of sunshine a day than some of the other sites, resulting in a...(read more)

A more composed and refined village wine, with less obvious fruit, nicely rich in the mid-palate, still with the vintage's citrussy notes in the background. Nicely done.

From Journoblots, Meix Goudard and others. First parcels he picked in 2021, and it gave 25 hl/ha, not bad in the context of the year, although half a normal yield. Both rich and tensile, with a fine mineral blade though...(read more)

When tasted in October 2021 the entry was a little hesitant at first, but then it picked itself up quickly at there's a nice core of very Puligny fruit and mineral succulence and a quality of easy-to-like gourmandise.

18hl/ha. Normally Joseph's parcel in Chatenière is late ripening as it's low down and loses the sun early in the day, but with the low yield it ripened early and has the character of a sunny site, combined with th...(read more)

From vines in Les Combes & small parts of En Remilly. A new wine for us from the Domaine. Slightly brighter feel to the fruit than the Meursaults but still lots of ripeness & structure. A bit of smokiness. Very good.

Both rounder and more mineral than the village wine, this is quite taut. Very pure and straight, with a little phenolic astringency picking up the finish. Good volume but mostly suberbly linear and long. Perrine Gutrin's...(read more)
