| Bunches of bright red fruits, rose petal and just a hint of cinnamon carry through from the nose to the palate. The exceedingly bright, fresh flavours balance with a depth of flavour and a supple, silky tannin structure. This would be absolutely perfect to drink right away but will also be rewarded by a further one to three years of cellaring, to develop slightly more nuanced flavours. |
| | Fresh red morello cherries dominate the nose, supported by strawberries and a lift of musky perfume. The wine is generous and ripe, with an enticing clove-and-cinnamon spice character; it feels relaxed and gentle. Fine tannins leave a very slight grip on the long, pure and refreshing finish. |
| | A great aromas of red fruits, rounded flavours with good concentration and soft tannins - lovely depth of flavour and beautifully balanced

Biodynamic since 1997,Rossignol Trapet is a Domaine which has earned a great deal of respect ingrowing years. A perfumed nose, with an added peppery sappiness when tasted a month later. Bright red berries on the palate, which is crunchy and precise. 10to 15% new oak. Fragrant, with a rich silky texture bursting with Morello cherry and Damson fruit- lovely long and balanced finish |
| | Delicious pure forest berry and plum fruit with notes of red cherry. Succulent and juicy
|
| | It has a slightly earthy nose, sultry when tasted from barrel, with raspberry preserve and subtle iodine scents, almost like a Marsannay. The palate is medium bodied with crunchy blackberry and blackcurrant notes, sprinkled with black pepper and a touch of graphite towards the edgy finish. I appreciate the energy conveyed here, although the edges need to be smoothed down. |
| | Exquisitely pretty Marsannay. Not particularly complex, but that is not the point of this wine, it’s all about pure, unadulterated pleasure. An open, generous array of fruit flavours of damsons and cherries with a floral violet perfume. Soft, generous, and velvety. 30% whole bunch fermentation. |
| | There is more whole bunch (70%) in the 2016 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru les Champonnets, the highest used by the domaine in this growing season. Now this has a very mineral-driven bouquet, terse and linear at first, though the fruit soon comes to the surface—blackberries, briary and a hint of cassis. This is very seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, weight and persistence. |
| | Lovely mixture of red and black fruits, rich and generous on the palate with silky tanins
|
| | A South African classic- simply the best Pinot Noir out of the Cape

Le Fou' translates to 'The Madman,' as the notion of producing a Pinot Noir in the warmer Languedoc region was thought to be an impossible endeavour. However, the producers have proved everyone wrong with this delightful, fruit-filled Pinot.
Bright ruby red, with upfront aromas of freshly picked raspberries and an underlying savoury leesiness. Fleshy red fruits continue to the palate and are joined by fine tannins and juicy acidity.
|
| | Sweetly ripe and inviting, the bouquet shows juicy strawberry, cherry, thyme and warm spice aromas. It's equally appealing on the palate offering smooth mouthfeel and bright fruit flavours, finishing silky and friendly. |

| | From vines within the commune of Nuits St Georges, but to the east of the railway line where the land is flatter. Wonderfully aromatic with masses of red fruits, ripe tannins and fresh acidity and structure for a basic Bourgogne.

Located on the Pommard side of the village, Les Angles is a warm site which is always picked first to ensure the grapes do not become over ripe.
WINESPECTATOR / JAMES SUCKLING (92)
The cool essence of red cherry, currant, floral and discreet wood nuances leads to detailed, punchy and precise medium-bodied flavors that possess a silky texture, all wrapped in a sappy and impressively long finale where a hint of cherry pit emerges. Good stuff. |
