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....

Sexy aromas of lemon and musky minerals, plus a hint of grilled oak. Sweet and opulent, but with racy acidity framing the lemon, orange and menthol flavors and giving cut to the wine. Really lipsmacking combination of acidity and minerality here.
Producer: Domaine Pierre Girardin

The 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges is limpid in colour and intense on the nose. The palate is beautifully balanced with sappy red fruit and impressive depth.
Producer: Domaine Leflaive
Rather full yellow with a gold tinge. Slightly exotic apricot and yellow peach scents on first sniff, with notes of wet store, lemon zest, mandarin and baked bread. Fat, thick and honeyed on entry but quickly firmed in the mid-palate by an edge of acidity, with strong iodiney minerality emerging on the back half.
Producer: Domaine Francois Raveneau
Raveneau’s 2008 Chablis Montmains – a cru he chose this year to ferment as well as mature in barrel – smells of white and pink grapefruit zest and brown spices, along with a 1996-reminiscent note of white truffle.
Producer: Leroy Negoce

Producer: Domaine Roulot
Soft citrus fruits and toast lifted by crushed stone on the nose. Fat and fruity but less showy than the Tillets. This is densely packed and rather serious wine, offering a glyceral texture but showing less of the vintage's exotic side. Finishes with lovely length.
Producer: Domaine Francois Raveneau
Pale yellow-green. Slightly metallic aromas of lemon and white flowers. Penetrating acitdity and citric cut give outstanding power and thrust to the palate. Finishes with outstanding lenght and grip.
Producer: Domaine Ponsot
In stark contrast to the expressiveness of the Clos St. Denis, the Clos the la Roche Vielles Vignes is almost mute and even aggressive swirling liberates only the briefest glimpses of wild red berries and earth notes.
Producer: Domaine de la Romanee Conti
The 2018 Grands Echézeaux may well be the most perplexing offering from the Domaine this year. Backward and reticent on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied and very fresh.
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 Pierre Girardin

Tardy's Gevrey Chambertin Champerriers 2022 has a complex bouquet of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a firm structure, showing flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and hints of leather and mushroom. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, and the finish is long and satisfying. Overall, this wine is a classic...
Producer: Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils
Tardy's Fixin La Place 2020 has a vibrant and expressive nose of red berries, floral notes, and a touch of earthiness. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied, with a juicy acidity and supple tannins, showing flavors of raspberry, cranberry, and a subtle hint of spice. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a touch of minerality. This wine is a...

Meursault Les Tillets Blanc is a wine of great elegance with considerable ageing potential, and like every wine from Pierre Vincent Girardin it expresses the typicality of each individual vineyard, with a perfect balance between minerality and fruit.
Producer: Domaine Pierre Girardin
This parcel is perfectly situated at mid-slope, just above the climat des Clous de Meursault. This Meix Chavaux reveals minerality and coldness of limestone, a tense and long wine that can be kept for many years in the cellar.
Sexy aromas of lemon and musky minerals, plus a hint of grilled oak. Sweet and opulent, but with racy acidity framing the lemon, orange and menthol flavors and giving cut to the wine. Really lipsmacking combination of acidity and minerality here.
