Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

The grand vin of the domaine is not the deepest in colour. A wonderful perfume, the most delicate of roses yet with a force of its own, while the little red fruits are very subtle too. This is a wonderful gracious and graceful wine, giving me sheer pleasure even in its infancy. It is constructed in so much detail, little pinpricks of red fruited pleasure throughout, with the precision of long-term biodynamics allied to this vintage of entirely healthy fruit.

More red crimson than purple with a slightly sterner bouquet, though still with a floral note from the whole bunches. Crunchy fruit more red than black, the whole bunches are very well integrated here. Properly long finish with good acidity. Also about to be bottled.

Sourced from Languettes and Hautes Mourottes, this year, nothing from the Pernand side. A little green tint. Starts tight and then opens out behind, fair tension, more minerals at the finish, a rolling complexity on the tongue, very nicely done if not entirely coherent in the mostly Meursault range.

A dense purple colour. The bouquet is beautiful, very lifted, sensual with violets, as well as savoury strawberries, this is very complete with a depth of properly ripe, yet agreeably strict fruit, the stem element perfectly woven in. A really fine, poised long finish

Fine pale yellow. The bouquet bursts out of the glass, but with a sense of tension quite different from Charles Maxime. Partly floral, partly fresh greengage, but with some riper tendrils curling round the edges. There is a backbone to this wine, and a sense of precision, which is deeply impressive. Then comes the flesh you would expect from this relatively sunny summer. This wine makes quite a statement. Good natural acidity is part of the equation. Complex and complete agrees Jean-Pierre. 55 year old vines which never over-produce.

Arriving Sept. 2024--A dense purple colour. The bouquet is beautiful, very lifted, sensual with violets, as well as savoury strawberries, this is very complete with a depth of properly ripe, yet agreeably strict fruit, the stem element perfectly woven in. A really fine, poised long finish

Planted 25 years ago and dying because of the rootstock problem. Pale lemon colour, with not so much bouquet. A little firm on the palate, undemonstrative though there is plenty of flesh, a little acidity. For the moment it is lacking a little personality.

Medium crimson purple. Very attractive on the nose, roses and strawberries, with elegance. Not the most concentrated but this is a graceful style, with a very good heart to the wine, and the barrel barely influencing the finish. Good acidity, an additional zest at the finish and the fruit carries on through. Very nice.

"A slighter brighter crimson purple. There is more raspberry than strawberry in the bouquet. Nuanced on the palate, some alpine strawberry now, just a little spicy note, and a beneficial bitterness at the back. Now some cherry. This is complex and deserves time."
