jean-marc pillot’s 2011 montagny 1er
2011 Jean-Marc Pillot, Montagny 1er Les Gouresses More of a tasting recollection as it was drunk early in the weekend, and here we are on Monday: Mineral, flinty, not with the comfortable padding of the recent JMP Chassagnes,… Read More
2012 Roi Chambertin
Tasted on 14th November 2013. Well-done Gevrey-Chambertin! Not just for the brilliant quality of their 2012 wines – and they really are brilliant – but the organisation and fortitude that the Syndicat displayed to make this such a good event! This is the third-such tasting from the Syndicat of Gevrey-Chambertin… Read More
Profile: Domaine Chantal Remy (Morey)
Monuments to Domaine Remy dot important vineyards of the Côte de Nuits. The family domaine is much smaller today, but still with much to offer. There were once two domaine Remys – one in Gevrey-Chambertin and the other in Morey St.Denis. The Gevrey domaine of Philippe Remy was… Read More

prince florent de merode 2008 ladoix chaillots
Actually, on checking, I’m astounded to see that this cost only £60 for 6 IB when purchased en-primeur (check Howard Ripley on the blue below). Cheaper, but magnificently better wine, than probably all Bourgognes… 2008 Prince Florent de Merode, Ladoix Les Chaillots… Read More
a good dinner…
Yesterday evening we had the good fortune that some ‘wine friends’ were in town for dinner. Just to give an impression of the wines, we started with an apero of 1979 Thevenot Meursault-Goutte d’Or, I’ve had better bottles as there was a bit of persistent (but faint) musty oxidative… Read More
Profile: Domaine Henri Rebourseau (Gevrey)
On many fronts, hearing the name ‘Domaine Henri Rebourseau’ makes me prick-up my ears; not least because of its large house and parkland-like gardens in the centre of Gevrey, there is also an impressive roll-call of vineyards too – yet both of those seem rather secondary in the context… Read More
