Côte d'Or Burgundy France

Red
Pinot Noir.
From vines in Puligny Montrachet, between the town and the road. Smart site for Bourgogne Rouge! The wine belies this terroir somehow. With the tension and precision you would expect from here. Pert and pretty red fruit...(read more)

Red
Pinot Noir.
This replaces the 'Comme Dessus' cuvee in the line-up this year at that vineyard was frosted 100%. A supple and rounded wine with old vines ripeness and it will be an easy wine to drink young.

Red
Pinot Noir.
More ripeness on the nose here than the Comme Dessus - an inviting sweeter note. Clearly we're now in 1er Cru territory. On the palate the fruit is more up-front. A good, juicy ripeness. Not really bolder or hairier - ju...(read more)

Pinot Noir.
Darkish brood on the nose, relative to this year’s reds here. Lovely attack - glossy, yet restrained and a bit more grip and drive. Nice acid - lovely fine tannins that gently frame the ripe, sweet red fruit. There is ju...(read more)

From 40 year old vines in ‘Les Houlières’ (just 200m from the Thomas-Collardot parcel.) This is good and straight and muscular. A very 'Puligny' Puligny. Drive, tension and power are the key notes here, but there...(read more)

Chardonnay.
This parcel is just 200m away from Chalumeaux - and higher up the slope. The nose here has a softness and a generous feel. But the tension builds quickly on the palate. This has great acidity - clean lines - tighter fram...(read more)

White
Chardonnay.
Les Chalumaux is up high on the Cote - on the border with Meursault. Wonderful energy again - a light feel - less intense than the Sous Les Puits - but still good fresh drive and crackling citrus zip - which grows. Palat...(read more)
