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.

A south-facing walled vineyard, just under a hectare in size. Le Clos’ vines are an average of 70 years old, some of them planted pre-phylloxera, en foule (untrellised), at a density of 13,000 vines per hectare. This is a unique, arid terroir of hard granite and sand, very rocky and
with no topsoil at all. The wine is aged entirely in barrels, the proportion of new oak varying with the vintage
conditions, with the remainder being one to two year old barrels from Domaine Jacques Prieur.
Spiced dark fruit is allied to cigar box notes, minerals and heady flowers. Generous, with firm well-integrated
tannins, there is a mineral seam which adds energy and focus to rich, dark cherry fruit, sustaining a long, detailed
finish.

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.

Champs Pimont is a 1.4 hectare holding, with a high proportion of white marl which, as in Corton Charlemagne, can give a marked sense of stony mineral
bite. White stone-fruit with honeysuckle aromas. The palate is inviting and full bodied, with orange blossom and yellow flowers, finishing salty-mineral and precise.
Vinified in a mixture of 30% foudres and 70% barrels, with an average of 15% new oak.
