Paler than the Bourgogne, still with green reflections. Again a generous ripe fruit which is edged with a tension of mineral, but which has a core which is round and pure. Ripe citrus purity to the finish. Drinking range: 2018 - L&S (Nov 2015)

Low key, slightly fat nose. Not as precise as the Lamy Puligny tasted just before. Perfectly serviceable but lacking precision. Drinking range: 2017 - 2021 Rating: 16 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2016)
Some from Moulin Judas and mainly from Vireuils giving the minerality, which was very apparent in this wine. Very attractive citrus aroma. Up toned and pure. Skates onto the palate with plenty of energy. It is lemony, very fresh and really vibrant and mineral on the finish. From 2018 Rating: 16.7 Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Nov 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.
