Slightly more serious, the flavours more vinous than fruit, with a lovely salinity. Remarkable wine, drinkable from the off, but the balance suggest that it will keep quite well. Drinking range: 2024 - 2028 L&S (Oct 2022)

This is also extremely pretty with a slightly higher-toned if equally fresh nose of red pinot fruit, rose petal and a hint of crushed anise. The more refined, if slightly less concentrated, flavors are attractively vibrant while the slightly sweet finish is shaped by fine-grained tannins that eventually rounds off into a touch of bitter pit fruit character. Drinking range: 2023 - 2029 Rating: 89-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 2023)
Six barrels in 30 ouvrées. Six barrels in 30 ares would have been alright! Fine clean purple. A beautiful bouquet though with correct ripeness and even some generosity of fine red berry fruit. Medium muscle, the fruit has a finer structure than the Savigny with fewer tannins, at least those which are there are beautifully integrated. Fine charming finish with the right oak balance. A great way to finish. Drinking range: 2026 - 2032 Rating: 90-93 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Dec 2022)
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.
