Crystalline, pale straw in colour with an expressive aromatic nose showing the typicity of Meursault with white spring flowers, subltle rose petal, citronelle and fresh hazelnut.

The year 2006 was marked by a flash of heat at the end of the growing season, which helped produce very ripe grapes. As a result, we have a lively and expressive nose with a mix of white flowers (acacia, seringa) and exotic fruits (mango, passion fruit). Fresh and pure with a mellowness typical of Meursault, this wine boasts a full mouth with a lingering finish.

Citrus fruit – layered with hints of honey and rose and some subtle smokiness – opens the olfactory experience. On the palette, the acidity in this wine helps express the qualities of the mellowness of Chardonnay. It is well balanced and lively yet elegant and pure with complex aromas too. This is undeniably and above all a Meursault! Kept in proper storage conditions, both wines will age nicely over the next 10 years and will continue to develop their aromatic palettes.

With the finesse typical of Beaune North (Bressandes) and the structure typical of Boucherottes and Teurons, this blend of three ler Crus offers the best of the Beaune appellation. Brilliant, light ruby red with a floral, fruity nose of violets and strawberries. Currently tight with youthful tannins, it is best to wait a minimum of one year for the harmony to reveal itself more fully. This wine will increase in generosity with every passing year. Drink from 2013 to 2025.

With the finesse typical of Beaune Bressandes and the structure typical of Beaune Boucherottes, this blend of two 1er Crus offers the best of Beaune North and Beaune South respectively. Dominated by a fruity nose of cherry and strawberry with hints of pepper spice, the mouth is full of youthful tannins, with a long and powerful finish. Over time those tannins will soften, giving way to more finesse in the mid-palette. Kept properly this wine will age well for the next 10 to 15 years.

Ruby red in colour with soft, young tannins and a fruit forward nose revealing subtle hints of ripe black cherry. Lightly oaked with a purity classic of the 2008s. This is not a powerful Corton that one might find on the east-facing slopes of the same appellation but a wine full of elegance and finesse, typical of a Corton rouge from the south-facing slopes. Don't rush this wine; every minute that it stands in the glass reveals more of its underlying complexity. To fully express itself, additional bottle ageing could be used. Drink from 2013 to 2020.
