The same amount of new oak, but from a different cooper – so more noticeable – but there’s plenty of depth below. A lovely mineral aspect couples to perfect acidity. It’s not fantastically long, but it’s very, very tasty.

This a villages lieu-dit that I’ve never seen explicitly on a label before. The vineyard is lower down the slope from Bonnes-Mares, and touches on the villages portion of Les Beaux Bruns. The nose is quite ‘big’, wide and interesting. The well-textured palate has a sneaky width and length. Clearly a structural step-up from the last wine with plenty more tannin – but it’s well-enough packaged. This is very nice.

This is a blend of 3 different vineyards all located at the top of the village, Grégory says that you really need to wait much longer to harvest here and that the results are much more interesting than from the vineyards below the village. After the Serpentières this is a narrow, focused nose over a brooding and denser creamy base. It’s a wide vista on the palate with velvet tannins and a very good length. This is a very understated and uncomplicated wine and highly recommended.

Harvested from vines 150 metres from Quartier de Nuits wall of the Clos de Vougeot. The nose wide with hints of iron and cinnamon. The first impression is the faint grain of the tannin and the concentrated, linear fruit. Slowly it opens on the palate and into the mid-palate giving a finish of real persistence. Again another understated and accomplished wine.

From the Brochon hill, lying just below Les Jeunes Rois. This is another vineyard where Grégory took note of the quality of the fruit and approached the owner in order to buy. The vines are ~70 years old. The aromatics concentrate on red fruit over an earthy base and eventually just a few smoky notes hinting at stems – Grégory confirms that a few were used. Bright and interesting fruit of some depth, the tannins cling just a little more than the previous wines but they are very ripe. Very good and some personality.
