As I’m making my tour of 2024s, there are often some older wines to taste, so why not include them here – better than a white space I think 😉

Domaine du Couvent, 3x 2023s…

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er La Romanée (Monopole)
Open, airy, red fruits. Mouth-filling, complex, lovely energy. With super finishing intensity. More excellent than the great that I felt last year, but still a wine to be happy to own !!

Clos de Vougeot
Fresh, open, lots of tiny aromatic complexities. So much extra density but still with fluid energy – now that’s already quite approachable and could be a great one – it’s so long lasting…

Nuits St.Georges 1er Aux Murgers
This was bottled in April, the previous 2 were done in July (2025)
Ooh, cordial fruit accented with an (almost) austerity of rose petals. So large in the, so muscular, almost too muscular for me, but without ever losing the perfume – I could be persuaded to take a second glass !!
