Good uplifted aromatics. Floral and pretty nose. Nice feel, good 'matiere', without over-ripeness the fruit is nicely measured. Great concentration. Not sweet, just crisp enough, just enough edge here, lovely sculpted red and blue fruit, plums and some more evolved purple/red berries. Good spice, good flow. Serious.L&S (Oct 2017)

Medium red. Lively scents of red raspberry and spices, plus an herbal nuance. Vivacious, linear village wine with modest complexity but good sappiness. Perhaps a touch green on the end but juicy and alive. Rating: 88-90 Stephen Tanzer, www.vinousmedia.com (Jan 2018)

A pure and moderately high-toned nose proposes notes of red cherry, spice and a range of floral elements. There is a really lovely sense of verve suffusing the fresh, pure and well-delineated middle weight flavors where an almost pungent minerality arises on the linear and persistent finish. Lovely stuff. Drinking range: 2022 - Rating: 89-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2018)

The 2016 Morey St Denis en la Rue de Vergy has ample red cherry, strawberry and bergamot scents on the nose, though here I would be seeking just a little more detail and clarity. The palate is smooth and quite fleshy on the entry, moderate acidity, the tannin a little obtrusive at the moment, although they should melt together with time. Not bad, but I want to see more energy and finesse by the time this is in bottle. Drinking range: 2019 - 2026 Rating: 85-87 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Dec 2017)

Lively berry fruit.. Red cherry and raspberry. A zippy freshness and slightly crunchy tannins and a touch of salty minerality. What a pretty wine.Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Nov 2017)

Christophe Perrot-Minot is now the fourth generation of his family producing wine on the estate after his great grandfather Amédée Merme devoted himself to the management and production of wine over 130 years ago. The estate has gone from strength to strength – always keeping the highest standards. Integrated viticulture has been practiced for many years now which has been adapted especially for the terroir. No herbicide or chemical fertilizer is used, instead, Christophe prefers to “stand back and listen to this terroir, only intervening when necessary or when the weather requires it, never systematically.” This is one of the star domaines of the whole of Burgundy.

STORAGE OPTIONS:

Wines bought en primeur are scheduled to arrive in the UK over the course of the next eighteen months. If you do not wish to take home delivery, you may wish to consider where you would like the wines shipped on arrival in the UK. Lea & Sandeman offers duty paid and in bond storage through a dedicated storage company called Elephant Storage. For more details on the terms and fees associated with storage please go to our Storage Homepage or contact our primeurs team for more information.

While helpful, we do not require a firm commitment on delivery destination to process your primeur order at this stage. Our team will be in contact with you when your wines arrive in the UK to confirm the necessary delivery details.

BURGUNDY EN PRIMEUR FAQ

OFFER: All wines are offered subject to availability and final confirmation.

PRICING: All prices are quoted IN BOND ex-VAT, by the case size stated. Please double check that the desired case size does match what is being offered as wines are variously listed in threes, sixes, dozens, halves and larger formats.

DELIVERY - TIMING: This is a primeur offer so the wines are not yet physically available for delivery. They will be shipped to the UK over the next eighteen months. Generally, wines are shipped to your nominated location once the whole order has landed in our London City Bond account. If you require wines to be delivered by a certain date, please advise us at the time of ordering.

DELIVERY - FEES: In bond delivery to an Elephant Storage account (for more information see 'Storage Options' opposite) is free of charge. Transfer of wines to any third-party bond (i.e. not Elephant Storage) will incur an administration charge of £16.50 + VAT for all orders under £1,000. Please indicate if you would like the wine duty paid and a duty & VAT invoice will be raised once all the wines on your order are available for shipment. Once the relevant duty & VAT has been settled, we will ship the wines to your nominated address as per our normal duty paid Delivery Terms.

PAYMENT: All orders will be invoiced for immediate payment by cheque, cash, debit card or cleared funds to our account. We regret that we cannot accept credit cards for primeur orders. We reserve the right to apply a dunning charge of 2% per month on invoices unpaid after 30 days.
