Lots of good concentration to the Bourgogne Rouge. Some crunchy red fruit in the mid-palate. A smooth seamless wine that has you reaching for another sip. Cherry on the finish. Joyful fruit. Very...(more info)

Lighter on its feet, cherry, strawberry, with some toasty oak notes, grippy rich tannins, again red fruit, cherry, strawberry, stony depth, decent acidity, with some wood notes on the finish.

Really good. A huge step up in terms of feel and lift from the Bourgogne. This has proper shape and feel. Nice rich fruit - a bit richer than I expected, but it is nicely done. Poised enough and...(more info)

There is a lovely mouth feel to the Saint Aubin. Saline and plush. Vanilla mingles with predominantly green fruit. Energy and poise. This should drink well over the next five years.

After the Chassagne VV this comes across mostly as juicily expressive, still with decent weight, a bit of saline minerals, fresh, interesting, long.

This has just been racked and moved from barrel to tank - to make space for the big harvest of 2017s that need space now in barrels. Despite this 'unrest' the wine is impressively calm and togeth...(more info)

Nose of enticing fruit with a hint of smoke. Defined ripe green fruit. Acidity is less obvious - the juice is soft and encompassing. Some broadness and power. A lovely way to kick off a long list...(more info)

A light caramelly sweet softness to the red fruit expression, supple, round and easy, yet with character and fresh lift.

Very round and supple and rich, not bumps or holes and good depth of sweet red and black fruit. Already gorgeous. 'When you have a wine like this in 2015 from barrel and it's already good to drin...(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 Champgains has a taut nose. Certainly not taut on the palate. The wine has a sweet entry. It is full and weighty on the palate. This is less about the energy and vigour and more about the she...(more info)

Brighter and more perk, more poise than the Morgeot tasted just before. It is because it is so different that Laurent has started making it as a separate wine when he can. It is from right up at...(more info)

66 ares (100 of these to the hectare), in three parcels. Considerably more structured than the Charmots, but Laurent's vines are for the most part not on the hard white limestone of the top of th...(more info)

The Vide Bourse has a riper and more exotic feel to it. On the palate there is lots of vibrant, bright fruit. The concentration is impressive. Flavours of vanilla, nut, fig and stone fruit give t...(more info)

Already bottled. More nutty. More woody, more mineral. Nice, pear fruit. A tasty, grippy middle. Then mineral notes take over. Not blockbusting but good drive and length.

An enticing nose of smoke and flint. The entry is supple and sweet - there is good concentration of fruit supported by refined oak. A twinkle of acidity keeps the juice bright and poised. This is...(more info)

Plenty of dark fruit on the nose. Sweet dark fruit on the palate. Welcoming prickle of tannin. A good slick, plump feel. The acidity dances alongside the glossy fruit. No big oak. This is one of...(more info)
