ardhuy’s 2005 pommard 1er fremiers…
2005 Ardhuy, Pommard 1er Les Fremiers Deep colour, and still rather young-looking colour at that. Deep, dark blackcurrant and cherry notes, a faint whiff of (probably oak) spice too. Concentrated, intense, this conceals rippling muscle below a sauve-suited… Read More
ardhuy 2011 côte de beaune villages
2011 Ardhuy, Côte de Beaune Villages Les Combottes Nice deep colour, with a young purple-tinge. The nose has a bit of cola-spritz (CO2) and a trace of reduction too – I chose to shake the bottle to release… Read More
d’ardhuy 2005 vosne-romanée 1er les chaumes (+ being boring!)
I realised that I have become rather predictable after tidying in the cellar this weekend – I started to dig out bottles that needed revisiting, only to realise that almost every second bottle came from Vosne-Romanée.

2005 d’Ardhuy, Vosne-Romanée 1er Les Chaumes Medium cherry-red. You are greeted by wide, concentrated and bright nose, faintly alcoholic with red and black fruit and a gradually developing creamy background – perhaps a hint of green pepper is the only clue to ‘vosne’. Lovely texture… Read More
update at d’ardhuy
I visited Domaine d’Ardhuy on Thursday. That meant that I had to visit again of Friday. Why? – well to collect the wines I ordered after the tasting of-course. It’s just one of those occupational hazards that one has to be prepared for…! Carel Voorhuis took me through a… Read More
Profile: Domaine d’Ardhuy (Corgoloin)
The Domaine d’Ardhuy is very easy to miss as you speed up or down the Route Nationale 74, I think that’s because you’re just on the border between a slow and a fast strech of the road – I’m usually looking in my mirrors to see who’s planning to overtake… Read More
