jean tardy 09 nsg au bas de combe
Does it get a little monotonous, all these 09s being so good? The only criticism that you could justly make is that they all have a very ’09’ taste and aroma to them, but if you don’t drink only 09s… 2009 Jean Tardy, Nuits St.Georges Au Bas de… Read More
jean tardy 2009 chambolle les athets
2009 Jean Tardy, Chambolle-Musigny Les Athets The nose has a really nice depth, cushioned with a little musk. This seems nicely round in the mouth and shows a very nice concentration for a villages. There’s just a little… Read More
2006 jean tardy fixin la place
2006 Jean Tardy, Fixin La Place Medium colour. High tones, slightly volatile, a hint of leaf and beef broth, eventually a blue-skinned fruit comes through – actually, nicer than the description may sound. Also a high-toned fruit impression… Read More
jean tardy 2005 chambolle les athets
Ah, those were the days, now where was I? 2005 Jean Tardy, Chambolle-Musigny Les Athets Medium, medium-plus colour. A deep, slightly baked fruit impression intertwined with a dark oak note – I think the oak is influencing the fruit. In the mouth the texture’s… Read More
And 2015? – nearly 50 wines now bottled
Nice to see how the bottled wines now look – plenty of truly great reds, though much harder to find great whites – seemingly more success by domaine than by particular wines in the whites! The whites: 2015 De Villaine, Bouzeron A modest nose, quite tight. Full, saline, slowly… Read More

Blind Echézeaux – 16 wines
All tasted blind in Zürich with JF Guyard, 09 March 2015. Our wines were served in flights of 3, mainly, after which the identity of each 3 (or 4!) were shown. Quite an eclectic range of wines as we all contributed bottles from our own cellars –… Read More
GJB: Echézeaux – 2012
A range of 2012 Echézeaux, tasted with their producers in Vougeot, 17 March, 2014. Can you imagine the disappointment on my face when I reached the tasting station of Joseph Drouhin, having seen their magnum – only at the last moment to realise it was actually Grands-Echézeaux –… Read More
