The wine has an attractive nose, with perfumes of grapefruit and the biscuity toastiness characteristic of oak-aged Chardonnay balanced by a fresh acidity. Parcel-based selection and vineyard management was vital in this vintage. The wine was barrel-fermented using natural yeasts and a very small percentage of new oak. The winemaker eschews batonnage as he doesn’t like the fatness it lends to wines, preferring instead to allow the inherent elegance of his wines to shine through unhindered. (12 x 75 cl)

An excellent negociant house, the company was founded in 1849 and, although it now benefits from the technical expertise as part of the Boisset group, members of the family are still involved in the running of the winery. The style of the wines strikes a nice balance between modern and traditional Burgundian winemaking. This Hautes Cotes de Nuits wine has a rich dark red colour with red fruit aromas that will evolve more complexity with age. Full bodied with a firm structure, it has a good tannic presence and long finish. (6 x 75 cl)

The 14 hectare family estate has been run by two young brothers since 1991. The 7 hectares dedicated to growing Pinot Noir, are situated on some of the best exposed slopes of the Cotes de Nutis and are only a few metres away from the Nuits St Georges Premier Crus. Classic Pinot fruit, complex with good weight and balanced tannins this is a powerful wine. (6 x 75 cl)
