This is the first vintage that this wine has been made under the new Côte d’Or appellation. It is made from a 2.5 hectare parcel of around 70 year old vines and is 20% whole bunch vinified in 2017. Displaying excellent density for its level, this is substantial, with bright red berries and forest fruits alongside ripe, supple tannins – a bit of a snip.

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 south-east facing 1.5 hectare site with vines over 50 years old, planted at 10,000 plants per hectare on granitic soils, with pebbles under thick, dense clay. The wine is aged in large, mainly old oak, (5% new) 600 litre demi-muids, for 15 months. This is an intense dark red, jet-shot, rich in black cherry, forest fruits with a heady, floral perfume. There is a saline minerality which adds focus and direction to a generous palate and certain savoury notes add depth.

This is a young vineyard – just over a decade old – planted mid-slope on limestone, with a little clay in the mix. A year maturing in oak (around a third new) gives a touch of richness to the ripe white peach fruit. This may be young – but it’s growing up… assertive in 2018…. impressive.
