Côte de Beaune

There is a joyful and perky, redder line to the fruit -than the Chorey and a higher toned feel. Always more refined and elegant in the glass. This is a beauty. Classic lines and grace- but that house injection of joy kee...(read more)

New Wine this year. Between Beaune and Pommard (nearer Pommard) Just opposite Terre Rondes and Epenottes but on the plain. Good in warmer years - as does not dry out here. Firmer but clean and bright profile. Beaune real...(read more)

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.

Super nose and attack. Very charming sweep of red fruits and floral notes. Delicious but more serious a tad tighter without being too hefty - just a bit leaner for now - will open and be a real charmer. Planted in 1983.

An uplifting fresh note hits you straight away here, with notes of mint and eucalyptus. A more exotic palate with hints of Asian spice to go with the readily available black and red berries. A charming broad spectrum of...(read more)

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)
