red aromatics with maybe a hint reduction at the base. There is a good mix of bright flavours blended with well managed tannin. Very nice wine.

50% new oak. A wide nose of red berries, though not so deep as the Chambolle Charmes. This is a mouth-filler! Plenty of tannic structure but equally full of complexity and dimension. Nicely fresh, this is a worthy Clos Vougeot.

The nose is a little tight, but it’s wide and shows the spice. More depth and dimension versus the Savigny. It’s not stunningly long, but it’s very tasty and ‘correct’.

The team continue to offer this rare bottling. A forward nose that mixes melon and pineapple. Good, quite forward acidity with a similar density to Bourgogne Prestige but there is more dimension and a slightly longer finish. 30-40% new oak was here and I think it needs to integrate a little more, but the base material is nice and fresh.

14.7° natural – and you wouldn’t guess if I didn’t tell you! A deep, dense nose with a tight core of fruit at the centre. This is concentrated and savoury with plenty of mid-palate dimension. The finish gently lingers and there’s no impression fo ‘heat’

Also 14° natural. The nose is bright and forward with a faintly estery background. Ripe, nice texture but backed by very good acidity that helps to keep the finish lingering. 25-30% new oak and a good buy.

Bright and fresh – again with estery hints, eventually showing some caramel too. Nicely presented in the mouth, again with very good acidity. This time there’s a savoury length

A very fine nose of deep red fruits. More depth, more tannin, more flavour and more dimension. This has a super length and is very fine.

Deep cherry-red colour. The nose is a lovely layered effort with faintly perfumed top-notes and a soft core of dark fruit. In the mouth there is well submerged structure but it’s under lovely concentrated and relatively deep fruit that widens in the mid-palate before impressively lingering in the finish. Plenty of dry extract here that will reward patience.
