The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 744 is soft, open-knit and caressing. The natural radiance of the vintage comes through in the wine's ample, creamy feel. Apricot, spice, dried flowers, hazelnut and lightly honeyed notes are all beautifully laced together.
Producer: Jacquesson
For the 2018 harvest in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (68%), Avize and Oiry (32%), the previous winter was exceptionally rainy, this was followed by a mild, stormy spring. The weather changed from June onwards, becoming fine and dry, resulting in a particularly early harvest: we started picking on 30 August and finished on 11 September. The vines were in perfect...

NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 743 (2015 base) is soft, open-knit and caressing. The natural radiance of 2015 comes through in the wine's ample, creamy feel. Apricot, spice, dried flowers, hazelnut and lightly honeyed notes are all beautifully laced together.
Producer: Bouquin Dupont Fils
A wonderful champagne, 100% Chardonnay of Avize from vineyards more than 60 years old. A base of citrus fruit melted with the scent, and taste, of a custard where there are also two drops of lemon juice. Delicious and enjoyable.
Producer: Jacquesson
2017, the harvest from Ay, Dizy, Hautvillers (66%) Avize and Oiry (34%). Winter and Spring were exceptionally dry; the beginning of Spring was mild but, in April, destructive frosts ravaged the vineyards, especially in the Côte des Blancs. Temperatures then rose and the weather was good until July. The end of the growing season was hot but very wet. The...

2019. Winter was mild and dry. Spring frost struck three times and mainly caused damage to our Chardonnay vines, hence the predominance of the Pinots in this cuvee. Summer was dry with heatwaves that caused sunburn. We harvested a very high-quality crop with moderate yields from 12th to 22nd September. The wines are structured, balanced, long and complex....

Good deep red. Knockout nose conveys powerful minerality and almost liqueur-like raspberry and cherry scents, lifted by a piquant note of orange zest. At once delicate and powerful, with penetrating crushed-stone minerality that stimulates the palate and leaves the taste buds vibrating on the extremely long, vibrant back end. Almost La Tache-like in its inner-mouth tension and echoing perfume. Outstanding Burgundy,
Producer: Domaine Pierre Girardin
A Bourgogne Blanc from the lower part of Meursault and Volnay. Fermented in wooden casks, with an eight-month elevage in stainless steel. It’s a fresh, vivid and mineral wine – some reductive notes – with white peach and limited exotic-fruit aromas. Fine and energetic fruit with nice acidity to give the wine a lovely balance. A good start, and drinking...
Producer: Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair
The 2006 Nuits St. Georges Aux Cras sticks out a bit in this lineup of mostly Vosne wines, even if Cras sits on the northern edge of Nuits. Firm, incisive tannins give the Cras its spine and sense of energy. Dark red cherry and hard candy notes abound in this beautiful, finely-sculpted Burgundy.
Producer: Domaine Pierre Girardin

Producer: Domaine Roulot
Bright medium yellow. Nose dominated by lemon zest and vanillin oak. Silky, concentrated and harmonious; in a rather rich, even creamy style but features lovely mid-palate floral lift. Sweet flavors of white peach and vanilla show no hard edges or austerity, but this wine's energy suggests that it will need more time in bottle to harmonize than the Clos...
Producer: Domaine de la Romanee Conti
The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru is a Burgundy of Cistercian austerity. Searing tannins give the Richebourg its trademark sense of energy and vibrancy. White pepper, mint, dried flowers and bright red berry fruit are all beautifully delineated, with underlying beams of minerality and salinity that lend dimension.
Producer: Domaine Leroy
Good deep ruby-red. Dark berries and leather on the nose. Supple, fat and full, with somewhat chunky flavors of black raspberry and chocolate. Sweet but verging on heavy.
Producer: Domaine Pierre Girardin
Bright ruby red in the glass, Pierre Vincent Girardin's Corton Bressandes offers intense aromas of cassis and orange peel on the nose. A wine of perfect balance, able to give emotions right away and to age for a long time in the cellar.
Producer: Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils
End of the coteaux of Nuits, the last vineyard before Vosne-Romanée. Picked later than others, The Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Argillats 1er Cru needs some coaxing from the glass, revealing blackberry and hints of blue fruit lending some “light” with time.
Producer: Domaine Leflaive
The Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a powerful but controlled bouquet with scents of dried honey and orange blossom. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, lively in the mouth with very impressive weight, retaining superb delineation.
Producer: Domaine Pierre Girardin
Vincent Girardin Chassagne-Montrache displays a great aromatic richness while presenting the typical minerality of the clay-limestone and gravel soils of the Côte de Beaune. The aromatic bouquet opens with fine floral notes evoking the scent of acacia, and evolves into the sweetness of honey.
Producer: Domaine Armand Rousseau
The 2010 Clos St. Jacques is a total stunner. Deep and beautifully layered, with exquisite aromatics and tons of class, the 2010 is one of the wines of the night. What a wine!
Producer: Domaine Leroy
One of the many highlights in this flight of 1er Crus, the 2003 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Narbantons is outrageously beautiful. From the very first taste, the Narbantons is lush, exotically ripe and silky. Time in the glass just brings out the wine’s sensual allure even further. The warmth of the vintage seems to have added an extra level of sweetness and...
Producer: Paul Chavy
Paul Chavy's Bourgogne Chardonnay Blanc offers a captivating sensory journey through the famed terroir of the region. As the cork is pulled, delicate aromas gracefully waft from the glass, beckoning with a harmonious blend of citrus zest, ripe orchard fruits, and a subtle hint of toasted almonds.
