Jancis Robinson (17.5)
Cask sample. Oak shows a little more here in the aroma than on most of the Boisset whites. Mealy and spiced and a touch of vanilla. Really creamy and rounded, so generous and caressing but balanced by great freshness. Embryonically delicious with a long, piercing finish.Inc. GSTSG$1,263.75 -
Jancis Robinson (17)
Cask sample. Deep-fruited and spicy, citrus and herbs. Finely creamy texture, deep, long and fresh with a slight sour note at the very end that seems to clash a little with the creamy, fruit-sweet aftertaste.Inc. GSTSG$1,263.75 -

Jancis Robinson (18)
Cask sample. Meaty, orange-peel nose with lots of edge and energy. Like essence of Morey. Really exciting but with a flourish rather than concentration. Great balance and refinement as well as depth. So well done! Oddly appealing already but certainly not simple.Inc. GSTSG$1,923.20 -
Jancis Robinson (19)
Mid smudgy crimson. Stunningly vibrant aroma of red cherry and peony (winemaker Grégory Patriat suggests violets). I'd be happy to wear this as perfume. Smells intensely sweet but also tart and tangy. All that on the palate, too. Firm, dry texture, layered super-fine tannins are almost chalky. Fabulous wine. If only I could afford to drink it! I am suggesting an early start date for the drinking window because I could actually drink this now though it is sure to have a very long life.Inc. GSTSG$2,789.75 -

Jancis Robinson (18)
Mid cherry red. Less open than the Vosne-Romanée just tasted. Peppery and definitely spiced with a touch of oak and stems all tangled up in the aroma. A dark beauty as it opens in the glass. So elegant, embryonic and yet refined already. Fresh, appears subtle, and it is, but it's also powerful and long.Inc. GSTSG$1,454.50 -
Jancis Robinson (17.5)
Cask sample. Subtle first impression. Ripe citrus and spice but impressionistic. As it opens, there's a rich creaminess. Rounded and full in the mouth. An unusual combination of gentle intensity.Inc. GSTSG$2,920.55 -

Jancis Robinson (16.5)
Tank sample. Hint of liquorice and impressive substance on the palate. Not as savoury as the southern Côte d'Or but very pleasing.Inc. GSTSG$594.53 -
Jancis Robinson (16.5)
Cask sample. So different from the creamy 'sweetness' of the Marsannay. More spicy, savoury, and a touch smoky. And no lack of pure citrus. Sour-fresh intensity on the palate balanced by tension from the acidity and still a rounded impression on the finish. Very long and slightly sour on the finish. Needs a little more time in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$473.50 -
Jancis Robinson (16.5+)
Cask sample. Bright, light crimson. Quite a meaty nose but the fruit is bright and energetic. Pure, fresh fruit – lighter than the average Gevrey from another vintage but a very approachable, lively wine. Lots of ripe-tomato perfume.Inc. GSTSG$1,043.57 -

(6x75cl) 2021Jancis Robinson (16.5)
Cask sample. Very pale garnet. Some interest on the nose already. This would make good early drinking with just a little grip on the end but pure Nuits fruit already. Light, grainy tannins on the persistent finish.Inc. GSTSG$768.89 -
Jancis Robinson (17)
Cask sample. Bright, pale crimson. Really quite opulent purple-berry flavours and a plumpness that almost disguises the fine tannins. Good but not excessive acidity. Good wine!Inc. GSTSG$752.65 -
Jancis Robinson (17+)
Mid crimson. Darker-fruited than the Chorey and the Savigny, deep, pure dark fruit and some Nuits spice. Oak seems a little more marked on the nose and also on the palate. Open and surprisingly approachable but needs time for the oak to back off a bit. Long, dark, savoury finish.Inc. GSTSG$605.39 -
Jancis Robinson (17.5)
Mid cherry red. Highly perfumed, impression of violets. That perfume leads you to a firmly but finely structured wine – the really elegant tannins are the main quality of the palate at the moment. A refined, pure and elegant beauty.Inc. GSTSG$663.16 -
