2014 berthaut-gerbet/des chézeaux, gevrey cazetiers…
2014 Berthaut-Gerbet/des Chézeaux, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cazetiers It’s been a little while since I drank the 2014 Lavaux – this is a very different wine! Airy, fresh, lovely and pure, though distant, fruit and flowers for this nose. The palate is fresh, direct… Read More
2004 vincent et denis berthaut gevrey clos des chézeaux
2004 Vincent et Denis Berthaut, Gevrey-Chambertin Clos des Chézeaux Medium cherry-red. The nose starts with a dark oaky element intertwined with plenty of the 04 cedary green thing – after five minutes you have lost the dark part, it’s even eventually asparagus! In the mouth The… Read More

getting bigger; comte liger-belair’s echézeaux…
I note that in 2020, Louis-Michel Liger-Belair has a little more Echézeaux to play with. I asked him for a few details, but at the moment he doesn’t want to say much more than “Plots in ‘Cruots ou vigne blanche,’ ‘Champs Traversins’ and the brand new parcel in… Read More
Echézeaux – 2017
It’s not every day you get to taste more than 2 or 3 grand crus together, certainly not grand crus from Vosne-Romanée – okay, from Flagey-Echézeaux! This was an important tasting for me, because versus ‘the average,’ my tastings in November and December indicated that Echézeaux was one of… Read More
