An attractively soft wine, with good acidity and a fresh citrus character. Very fresh, very forward and fruity, with just a touch of toast. For drinking now.

A rare white from Fixin, in the north of the Côte de Nuits, this is ripe in character, very fruity and soft. There are touches of acidity as well as hints of lemon juice. The wine has final touches of wood spice and green pepper.

A beautifully structured wine, with a great zingy, tangy edge to the citrus and toast flavors. It’s ripe, packed with melon and pear flavors. Impressive.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A powerfully rich wine that shows all the open, generous nature of 2009 reds. It is concentrated, dense, giving firm tannins as well as more fleshy, spicy character. There is wood, but more prominent is the blackberry fruit and superripe fruit tannins.

A big and structured wine, packed with firm, powerful tannins. There is sweet fruit underneath all this density, waiting to develop as the wine ages. Smoky wood and a dark brooding character dominate this impressive wine.

Initially soft, this wine’s real mineral character only comes through slowly. The wine has richness and weight. Very textured, it could age well for 3–4 years.

Rich, sweet and soft, with a strawberry jam character, and just the right balance of acidity.

An attractive, open-fruited wine, with fresh raspberry acidity—very Pinot in its juiciness and red fruit flavors.

Soft fruit, with a tannic hint underneath. The wine is supported at this stage by wood, while the fruit has strawberry jam sweetness. The acidity and structure really only come through at the end.

Smoky aromas introduce a wine that is structured and concentrated, with intense fruit and acidity. Firm tannins, a subtle touch of wood and fine richness all combine mellifluously.
