2017 Fixin – blind…
18 wines, tasted blind in Beaune, 23 May 2019. Clichés are usually that, but in 2017 there is more structure and more tannin in the Fixins than you will find in the Marsannays or Santenays – patience is rerquired. But there are many super wines too… 2017… Read More

2014 Marsannay (plus more)
Tasted in Gevrey-Chambertin with Bernard Bouvier, Isabelle Collotte, Laurent Fournier, Sylvain Pataille and Jean-François Guyard.

2015 Aligoté…
A quick 30 aligotés from 2015 for you. 2015 certainly offers good ripeness but rarely a flabby experience. The vast majority of these wines are available ex-domaine for less than €10 – some significantly so – of-course your (pricing) mileage may vary when buying locally. The wines… 2015… Read More
