Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir produces deliciously smooth wines with ripe silky tannins and juicy red summer fruit. Although it is famed for producing the red wines of Burgundy, and in particular, the Côte d'Or, Pinot Noir is now widely cultivated outside of Burgundy, in regions that mirror its cool growing conditions, such as Central Otago, New Zealand, the Yarra Valley, Australia and Carneros, California. Pinot Noir's invaluable contribution to Champagne must also not be forgotten!

Often compared to Volnay, Ladoix is a red wine of great texture and delicacy with floral, cherry characters when young - and this is a stunning example. Proof that Burgundy continues to deliver great value!

A notably earthier and more serious nose of red and dark berry fruits that display a sauvage hint that carries over to the ripe and naturally sweet medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent phenolic maturity and ample mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in a mildly austere and rustic finish.

Menthol-like notes on the nose contribute to the fresh and uplifting character, and the soft-edged but persistent redcurrant fruit lingers on the palate. Will continue to improve over the next couple of years, but drinking very well at the moment.

Fragrant, with an almost-Vosne character on the nose. On the palate, the tannins are quite robust, though ripe and fine, giving this a structural nature. However, the rounded blue-fruit character brings balance and this has an attractive, long finish. Very good village Nuits.

"The 2009 Vosne-Romanee is layered with dark cherries, plums, cinnamon and licorice. It is a fleshy, seductive 2009 village level wine, yet it has also maintained more than enough freshness to drink well for a number of years. There is plenty of depth and texture in the glass." 90 points. Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate

A little rustic on the nose, but appealing nonetheless. The tannins here are quite prominent, but are well balanced by ripe fruit and a freshening acidity. Black fruit comes through, with a hint of peppery spice. A wine with a very pure nature and a lovely fresh finish.

Revealing plenty of fruit on the nose and a glorious ripe accent. The palate follows suit, with voluminous sweet raspberry and strawberry fruit.

Deeper, darker fruit with spicy nuances. The palate is wonderfully poised; a wine that displays its quality in its intensity, persistence and nuanced complexity. A silky texture and discrete tannins complete this beautiful Taillepieds.

Another well-situated vosne from the Michel Gros range of wines. Aux Brulées abuts Richebourg. In 2007, Michel has produced a beautifully heady, complex Brulées that exhibits greater structure than his Réas and concentrated, rich, supercharged, ultra-juicy flavours. Drink 2012 - 2017

This has the perfumed intensity, complexity and persistence of a very fine Grand Cru. It has a restrained power allied with a flowing, elegant quality. Fine tannins add to the weight, combining with the depth of flavour. Impressive.

With wild loganberry fruit on the nose, this has a perfumed, smoky note in the glass. On the palate, the tannins are evident, but well balanced and not at all extracted. There is dark berry fruit and an almost steely mineral vein. Elegantly fresh on the finish, this is very fine indeed.
