Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne Romanée 2006

A typical blend of many plots in Vosne Romanée. It becomes more perfumed and velvety after 4 or 5 years in bottle and is also worth keeping for a few years in lesser vintages. more

Joseph Drouhin Meursault Perrieres 2002

We keep marvelling at the highly focused and intense aromas of this vintage. As a whole, the bouquet of these wines is seductive ; they have great balance and structure (gras). As with Chablis, these whites have such charm and fruit that they could be drunk very early on. Yet, ... more

Domaine Robert Arnoux Romanee St. Vivant 2005

Closed, firm, direct, with a long finish that sings; a great wine, one of the best of the Cote de Nuits; near-perfect balance with an elegance and finesse that is almost unrivaled; aromatic and silky with great flair. more

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Champans 2004

Marquis d'Angerville wines are made in a delicate, rather understated style. The minimalist philosophy here deliberately emphasizes low yields and avoids manipulation of finished wines. more

Domaine Robert Arnoux Nuits St Georges les Corvées Pagets 2005

From more sandy soil that produces a more subtle and supple wine than the preceding with more breed; it is less stern in the finish but carries lots of weight.  more

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Taillepieds 2006

Marquis d'Angerville wines are made in a delicate, rather understated style. The minimalist philosophy here deliberately emphasizes low yields and avoids manipulation of finished wines. more

Domaine Jean Grivot Nuits St. Georges Les Charmois 2006

A superb plot that would be a premier cru if it did not face north-east. It ripens a little later. This is a very good village wine. It is very fine, long on the palate and may be aged for a decade or more. more

Domaine Leflaive Meursault Sous Le Dos d'Ane 2006

Long, gentle pneumatic pressing, débourbage over 24 hours, then racking and running into cask of the must. Alcoholic fermentation in oak casks, 22% new (maximum 1/3 Vosges, minimum 2/3 allier). After 12 months in cask, the wine was aged an additional 6 months in tank, then prepared for bottling. Homeopathic ... more

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle Musigny Les Beaux Bruns 2003

A generous wine with a fresh, thick palate. more

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle Musigny Les Cras 2004

The soil of Chambolle is more spare than that of neighboring Morey and Gevrey. Limestone gravel covers the surface and the layer of topsoil is very thin. As a result, the wines of Chambolle are noted for their finesse and delicacy. more

Lignier-Michelot Morey Saint Denis Les Façonnières 2004

All three Morey premier crus are classic examples, with a fleshy personality, lovely depth of black fruit, complex expressions of soil, and the ability to both delight the palate early and age well for ten to fifteen years. Of the three, the Façonnières is probably the most age-worthy and in ... more

Bitouzet-Prieur Volnay Pitures 2000

From the Pommard side of Volnay; a wilder wine with a sensual rusticity; the most "animal" of these wines, quite masculine and firm with profound tannins and great concentration; its deep color announces a wine of excellent density. more
