From vines in Pommard. Supple and bright sleek fruit with a core of sweetness and a nice drive and length - only young vines but this is good.

The sweetness of the fruit dominates the attack, but it does have more to say, with little fine tannins activated by acidity giving a juicy gourmandise. Simple but very delicious.

This is juicy and well weighted. I like the level of fruit ripeness. Great blend of red zip and dark mass. But also a tension, a balance with the acidity and a mineral skeleton that keeps it fresh. Better balance than the Santenay.

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 together. Very nice. Good flow, easy feel, but not simple. Red fruits dominate and add a piquancy to...(read more)

Bright, clean and peppy fruit. Dark cooked cherry macerated flavour - warm strawberry juice too. This has poise, electric zip and energy that really lifts the mood and feel. Very good village wine.

Boucherottes is just below Clos des Mouches. Dark colour. Scented nose of floral and juicy Pinot along with blackberry fruit. The juice is slick and glossy. Sweet dark fruit. Lively in the mouth, silky and fresh and round. The acidity dances on the palate and the tannins give a gentle dryi...(read more)

Nicely sleek and fresh, with volume in the middle and a good straight length and juicy appeal.

Cool and saline, then a sneaky sweetness, but it remains in the background. A cool well-ironed linen-shirt feel. Calm and precise.

Really well-done, not too massive and there's a sleekness that's almost Puligny-like - mineral even! Morgeot is huge - 65 hectares, the Pillots plots are high-up.

Fresh, nice saline undercurrent which helps the tension - supple tannins and lots of fruit, dark and ripe. Very fine texture of tannins.

The creaminess is evident on the nose. Clearly Meursault. The palate reveals precise, pure fruit, a touch of mineral tension but all wound up in a smooth, creamy, textured juice. Immediately appealing, this will give drinking pleasure for the next seven years.

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 the wine a broad feel. It is well integrated and the bracing acidity gives it structure. Long fi...(read more)

Still in tank when we tasted. Rich and full, quite closed in aromas, but definitely all here and has a considerable richness, which is tugged out long on the finish by bright acidity.

Charmots returns, having been obliterated by hail in both 2013 and 2014, and returns in triumph, in it's usual style, which is like its name, charming. Fine-textured, supple, silky-velvet, Laurent has used 50% whole bunches and this lifts the middle and lengthens the finish.

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.

Dark garnet colour. Rich body; a chunky, completely ripe and full wine, but one which needs a little time to come together, with the structure poking though in places.

That slightly broader, sweeter richness of Pommard, sweet dense fruit picked up with lovely acidity - gorgeous, lots of punch and character.
