On the plateau de Chaux, above Nuits. Deep colour. I like the balance here, fresh and bouncy, with a cassis edge, this is as good a usual.

The 2022 Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Clos du Prieuré comes from steep south-facing slopes and includes 50% whole clusters. This has a perfumed nose with rose petals infusing the lively red fruit. It just needs a l...(read more)

This is 450m up, above Nuits Saint Georges on almost pure limestone and is exactly the sort of wine I wish I had been given as an introduction to outstanding Burgundy. The altitude and the rocky soil, combined with the h...(read more)

A bit easier to love at this early stage than the Toppes d'Avignon. There an almost ethereal cooler mist over the wine. On the palate there is good red perfume and fresh lift. This is very straight and pure. Sweet cranbe...(read more)

On the north side of the combe which cuts into the hillside above Nuits, a vineyard with 40-50cm of clay over the rock. Thibault put 40% of whole bunches into this. A very Vosne-side style here, a wine all in silk and el...(read more)

A new sharecropping contract from 2022 on vines from the 1960s. 50% whole bunch vinification. Brilliant purple colour with very clean fruit on the nose. A depth of concentrated raspberry and strawberry, some tannins stil...(read more)

Thibault has 2 hectares here - and he is much more upbeat this year as it gave him 27 barrels in 2017 after the tiny haul of just 8 in 2016! Much of the wines charm can be linked to the interesting soil here which has so...(read more)
