100% Pinot Noir. 12 months in oak. Very fresh and floral nose, very pretty. Fine and ripe tannins, nice spritzy crushed raspberries. Great lift and freshness. Lovely.

50% whole bunches. Bright pure nose, there's decent depth here, the palate crunchy and with lift - it's a terrific Bourgogne

The nose, full of black fruit, is a little confused for now, but the palate has that richness of old vines, a supple volume of superfine tannin, and an expression of black fruit that's heading into a sort of mineral dark...(read more)

Restrained on the nose for now, but the palate is focussed with red fruit, supple and fat, all suffused with juiciness. Quite taut on the finish, but plush up that moment. Vinified all as whole bunch and it brings elegan...(read more)

Quite firm and straight, this is on a red fruit expression, cherry and redcurrant, taut and bright.

100% whole bunches. This has a mass of fruit and ripe sweetness, juicily balanced and there's mineral too. Plots in Murots, Seuvrées and Creux Brouillard.

70% whole bunch. Fresh blackberries just picked on the nose, the palate cool and fresh and silky with a beautiful balance of acidity and slightly saline weight, so that on the finish it is more about mineral than fruit....(read more)

Colour is very dark. Nose of black fruit, palate mineral, lifted, airy, floating. One would never tire of this - it seems to be bottled energy and light. A sort of blackberry jelly fruit on the finish which is still dry...(read more)

Good intensity on the nose, well ripened strawberries and red berries, follows to the palate. Sleek powerful flow. Pretty tannins, really quite sophisticated. Powerful yet not hefty - this just drives on through the pala...(read more)

45-50% whole bunch. Supple, precise, juicy and in total harmony. Fruit is very much all there but never quite sweet - very crisp, precise. This, as the first of the Morey premiers crus in the tasting, is a class up in si...(read more)

80% Whole bunch. This has real intense power at its core. Broad fruit, deep red and some black notes - but all well ripened and full on. Pure and yet quite charmingly crowd-pleasing matter lies at the core of this - and...(read more)

100% whole bunch. From Chabiots, Chatelots and Sentiers. Delicate freshness on floral fruit nose. It feels silky and fine, with a saline, rich, cool red petal and red fruit intensity in the middle. Lovely!

Deep colour, very rich, intense fruit and savour, yet still really quite easy, flowing, graceful and classy. Really rather fabulous fruit expression, defined red and black flavours playing off each other and giving real...(read more)

All silk and elegance, this initially somes across as less punchily concentrated than the Faconnieres, but it is fabulously balanced and sleek, and all in supple length. Dark fruit expression, long, long finish.

Lovely deep colour. Sumptuous nose to go with it. That weighty silk feel, and then suddenly it has no weight - it just lifts and glides, effortless, graceful, a splash of colour and light, long and pure. A jewel.

An even darker colour than the Clos de la Roche. A great mass of dark ripe black fruit, big and supple, but this too has energy and something to say, and says it with some force - Charmes Chambertin with attitude. A real...(read more)

80% Whole Bunch, What a magnificent opening. Great weight of liquid fruit. Intensely flavoured and getting darker in the mouth. Nicely restrained mineral heft builds here. This is heady. Aromatics soar and there is such...(read more)
