Following a mild winter, no-one would have anticipated the savage frost at the end of April which immediately reduced potential production severely. The deed was done. June saw a return to benign weather and sunshine. This is a blend of three parcels, creating complexity. The 2016 presents a jet plum colour, to a bramble rim. The nose offers black cherry and wild blackberry with some liquorice notes. There is attractive fruit intensity and structure, chunky tannins enrobed with rounded fruit. Earthy, dark and mineral with coffee-ed notes, dark fruit, layered and long, this has a real sense of place – great value, in fact.

This is a 0.6 hectare plot situated below Clos de la Roche. The “grandfather of the Morey Grains Fins”, according to Jean-Paul. There are poor, dusty soils here, on which are planted vines with an average of 45 years. Bright and supple, with dark berries and forest fruits, approachable and with good ageing potential.

The tiny 0.19 hectare holdings here are in fact located in Mazoyeres-Chambertin, although this has always been labelled as a Charmes, as is permitted. The youngest vines are 30 years old, planted on clay-limestone subsoil. This is an intensely mineral-driven wine, with a sweetness of fruit which is so attractive. Plushly fruit-coated tannins add volume and rather majestic structure.

Pitangerets sits opposite En Remilly, on the other side ofthe side valley which runs up into the hills above Saint-Aubin. A spicy, darkly berried nose, somewhere between raspberry and blackberry fruit. On the palate, firm, fruitcoated tannins provide structure, supporting without detracting from the juicy drinkability and fleshy berry
fruit which is the essence of this wine.

Champ de Cour is a south-east facing site, planted with 50+ year-old vines on granite soils, with pebbles under thick, dense clay. Dried herbs and deft exotic spices on the nose. The palate’s cool raspberry fruit is underscored by dark, rocky minerality, with black pepper and a savoury, sous bois herbaceousness. Substantial, but rendered so elegantly. A third whole bunch vinified in 2019, then aged in 600 litre old oak demi-muids for 15 months.
