The higher elevation and north facing slope of Block 6 has again ripened with stone fruit aromas that are exuberant and defining. Peach and nectarine flavours dominate the broad and expansive palate, but are sufficiently contained by a finish of purity and dancing acidity. The depth and length are i...

Intense aromas of nectarine and apricot are complimented by attractive florals and hints of marzipan. Mature Riesling vines grown in the heavy silt loam soils of north facing Block 1, has, as always, produced this distinctive, pure and refreshing style of Riesling. The natural sweetness is there, bu...

A vibrant bouquet of spring flowers, talc and orchard fruits introduces this impressive and commanding wine. Ripe apple and pear abound on the palate, complimented by pink grapefruit and mineral notes. For a dry wine, it’s surprisingly luscious: such is the power of the fruit supporting this crisp...

Red cherry, plum and a hint of dried herbs open the nose in a delightfully fragrant manner. The aromatics deftly define the knife edge ripeness that’s critical for great Pinot Noir; dialled in with ease in the exceptional 2024 vintage. Cardamom, mace and cranberry make an appearance, followed by a...

A little shy on first reveal, but then the deeply bound fruit and complexing aromatics begin to unfold. Powerful, deep and saturating – what we have come to expect from MacMuir. The unmistakeable Felton Road winemaking hand contains the package allowing it to gradually deliver, exposing layer upon...

A potpourri of dark petals and Indian spices dominate the inviting bouquet. Dark and deep fruit on the palate is amply supported by complexing savoury and earthy notes. It’s not just fruit, there’s so much more contributing. This is our diverse four vineyards coming together to superbly express...

The 2023 Pinot Noir Calvert is a herbal, scented expression that gives the sense you've just crushed a bouquet garni. It's full, concentrated and sumptuous with ripe black cherries, raspberries and cream. Like other 2023s, this has a richness of tannin and exceptional acidity, coating the palate sat...

Mid lemon yellow. The 2021 Blanchot was difficult to taste at first, following on from the lusher 2022s. However, I went back to it after tasting the Bougros in order to get a more accurate reading. Maybe still very slightly marked by the oak. Good intensity. A sort of lactic saltiness, with an iodi...

There are just two barrels of the 2022 Volnay Les Taillepieds 1er Cru. I must admit that I discerned a bit of oxidation on the aromatics in my glass and the palate flirted with a little volatility. This was a surprise after the svelte and composed Pommard Grands Epenots, so I will not assess this. N...

Planted in 1965. Situated just below Le Montrachet in the upper part of the plot, rich shallow soil on well-draining bedrock. Also certified organic and biodynamic.Fuller yellow, but clean and clear. Closed on the nose. Very restrained also on the palate but with massive intensity and a fresh backbo...

Ideal for earlier drinking.A very fresh and bright nose of expressive red pinot fruit aromas cut with earth nuances leads to deli...

The 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté, which had been bottled, offers lilting citrus peel and clementine scents on the nose that just need a little coaxing from the glass. The palate is well balanced with an underlying sapidity, slightly viscous in texture with veins of lemongrass towards the persistent finis...

From 50 year old vines in Les Drazey and Gamaires (MSD side of Chambolle).80% whole bunch vinification. A solid purple with a slightly stolid bouquet, not entirely typical of the appellation. The stems showing in a slightly vegetal fashion. Fresher behind, finishing with a considerable punch, reintr...

From a blend of Très Girard, Les Cognées and Chenevery80% whole bunch vinification. A full mid purple. The nose of fully ripe fruit, black and brambly, full and fleshy before the whole bunches provide a little more rigidity at the back. Halfway between En La Rue de Vergy and Chambolle in style. Dr...

90% whole bunch vinification. Mid purple, with a nose which shows the whole bunch a lot by giving some crushed strawberry on top of the darker fruit of Nuits-St-Georges. The latter appears further back on the palate but the tannins remain refined. Good length. Drink from 2028-2034. 91-94 Jasper Morr...

The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge includes 50% stems and has a lovely bouquet of dark cherries and red plums. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry. A regional red with fine body, even if it needs a little more Pinoté on the finish. 85-87 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023).Drinking Window...
