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

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.

100% whole bunch. While the nose is not yet 'made', the palate shows an incredibly accomplished cuvée of Gevrey. A really gorgeous treat of texture, which is fine and silky, good volume, black fruit - Virgile rema...(read more)

Restrained on the nose for now, but the palate is focussed with red fruit, supple and fat, all suffused with juiciness. Quite taut on the finish, but plush up that moment. Vinified all as whole bunch and it brings elegan...(read more)

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.

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)

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)

45-50% whole bunch. Supple, mprecise, 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 s...(read more)

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!

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)

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.

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)

70% whole bunch. From above Clos de Tart. The first thing Virgile picked in this vintage, which is understandable as it is well exposed and on thin soil over rock. Drought was a problem here in 2020. Quite firm, with a c...(read more)
