(from 80+ year old vines). Here the nose is riper if only slightly with its fresh and airy nose that mixes both white and yellow orchard fruit aromas that are trimmed in touches of mandarin orange and oak spice. There is a discreet minerality adding lift to the punchy and solidly well-detailed medium weight flavors that possess good mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in balanced and naturally sweet finale. 2019+ Rating: 88-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2015)

Tangy, citrus, limey nose. Really quite chewy but with life and punch. Admirably complete. Drinking range: 2017 - 2023 Rating: 16.5+ Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2015)

Domaine Henri Germain

Jean-François Germain was joined in 2018 by his daughter Lucie - who is now helping to run this small (7ha) domaine.

The Chassagne vineyards came through his mother, a Pillot, and Jean-François is married to François Jobard's daughter, so they are quite intertwined with some of our other producers. The Poruzots comes from the rows next to Remi Jobard's. In terms of winemaking the Germains are always happy to let nature take its course, and in the vineyards they follow as natural a system of viticulture as possible (organic, not certified).

These are concentrated, tightly wound wines from one of Burgundy's coldest cellars. Alcoholic fermentations can take months and the malolactics are often late, so they have always gone for long élevage in old barrels, always for two winters, and the Premiers Crus usually for 22 months. Slow to develop, they show wonderful crystalline purity. New wood is used very sparingly, just to replace barrels sold when they get to ten years old.
