Pinot Noir.
50% whole bunches. Bright pure nose, there's decent depth here, the palate crunchy and with lift - it's a terrific Bourgogne

Côte d'Or Burgundy France

Red
Pinot Noir.
80% whole bunch. Very rich fruit, super concentration of cassis and blackberry. Density and structure of old vines here, finishes with tannic grip, still with lots of fruit concentration.

Côte d'Or Burgundy France

Red
Pinot Noir.
Almost more Chambolle in style than the Chambolle - it's floral, supple, generous, with fatly ripe tannins giving supple volume. Dark red rose petal freshness, black cherry fruit - it's lovely.

Côte d'Or Burgundy France

Red
Pinot Noir.
Colour is very dark. Nose of black fruit, palate mineral, lifted, airy, floating. One would never tire of this - it seems to be bottled energy and light. A sort of blackberry jelly fruit on the finish which is still dry...(read more)

Côte d'Or Burgundy France

Red
Pinot Noir.
Good intensity on the nose, well ripened strawberries and red berries, follows to the palate. Sleek powerful flow. Pretty tannins, really quite sophisticated. Powerful yet not hefty - this just drives on through the pala...(read more)

Côte d'Or Burgundy France
13%
Red
Pinot Noir.
45-50% whole bunch. Supple, precise, juicy and in total harmony. Fruit is very much all there but never quite sweet - very crisp, precise. This, as the first of the Morey premiers crus in the tasting, is a class up in si...(read more)

Red
Pinot Noir.
80% Whole bunch. This has real intense power at its core. Broad fruit, deep red and some black notes - but all well ripened and full on. Pure and yet quite charmingly crowd-pleasing matter lies at the core of this - and...(read more)

Red
Pinot Noir.
100% whole bunch. From Chabiots, Chatelots and Sentiers. Delicate freshness on floral fruit nose. It feels silky and fine, with a saline, rich, cool red petal and red fruit intensity in the middle. Lovely!

Côte d'Or Burgundy France

Red
Pinot Noir.
Deep colour, very rich, intense fruit and savour, yet still really quite easy, flowing, graceful and classy. Really rather fabulous fruit expression, defined red and black flavours playing off each other and giving real...(read more)
L&S2017 CLOS DE LA ROCHE Grand Cru Domaine Lignier-Michelot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
13.5%
Red
Pinot Noir.
All silk and elegance, this initially somes across as less punchily concentrated than the Faconnieres, but it is fabulously balanced and sleek, and all in supple length. Dark fruit expression, long, long finish.

Red
Pinot Noir.
Lovely deep colour. Sumptuous nose to go with it. That weighty silk feel, and then suddenly it has no weight - it just lifts and glides, effortless, graceful, a splash of colour and light, long and pure. A jewel.
L&S2014 CHARMES CHAMBERTIN Grand Cru Domaine Lignier-Michelot
Côte d'Or Burgundy France
13.5%
Red
Pinot Noir.
An even darker colour than the Clos de la Roche. A great mass of dark ripe black fruit, big and supple, but this too has energy and something to say, and says it with some force - Charmes Chambertin with attitude. A real...(read more)
