BURGUNDY

The bouquet delivers a fine blend of pear, apple, honeysuckle and a base of soil tones. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and quite vibrant in personality, with a good core, fine focus and grip and a long, racy and impressively fresh finish.

100% Chardonnay. With fresh floral aromas, the wine shows elegant, rich fruit on the palate. This is one of the purest expressions of Chardonnay in Burgundy. Pairs with vegetable terrines, poultry & goat cheese.

A pale yellow color with green splashing reflections. The nose is intense with notes of white fruits and vanilla. Round and complex in the mouth, aromas of peeled citrus and acaci.

Bright medium ruby. Very dark, discreet scents of black raspberry, crème de cassis and flowers. Densely packed, intense and energetic, terrific savory minerality and violet lift. A crystalline quality finishes with mounting length and noble tannins.

This is an exceptionally elegant Pinot with complex aromas of plums, raspberries and cherries and fresh red fruit flavors in the mouth with earthy floral, mushroom and mineral notes and balance acidity.

It has a fragrant nose of Braeburn apples, pear and light wet pavement aromas. The well-balanced palate delivers a fine bead of acidity, good tension, and more subtle but insistent lemon zest on the nose. In other words: textbook!

Aromas of fresh red apples, honey and white flowers with elegant and rich flavors of toasted nuts and citrus. One of the purest expressions of this typical Burgundian grape. Ideal pairings for this wine include roasted salmon, shellfish or creamy cheeses.

Vineyard soils have a high percentage of chalk and limestone, which imparts mineral character. Elegant aromas and clean, fresh character. Shows floral, apple and citrus aromas and flavors, with mineral notes; a classic expression from this appellation.

Mineral and fruity, Chablis is a wine of pleasure, to be enjoyed on any occasion. A surprisingly balanced wine, with richness, freshness and the legendary minerality that characterizes great years in Chablis.

A fragrant bouquet with orange blossom, Golden Delicious and light crushed rock aromas. The palate is strict and linear, well balanced and lightly spiced with a nicely poised finish. Drink over the next five years.

From one of the most prestigious wineries in all of Burgundy, here is a chance to buy one of their more modest offerings in a large (1.5L) format. Magnums are better to age the wine if you keep it cellared, and become very collectable for collectors.

A touch of wood frames the mildly reduced aromas of white flowers, pear and discreet citrus nuances so I would suggest giving this some air first. Youthfully austere, bone-dry and lingering finish. This is very good and worth considering.

Very ripe pear aromas with a delicate touch of vanilla oak. The winemaker has worked successfully to conserve the fruit and freshness. So, although this has quite a rich texture on the mid-palate, the fine oak and lively acidity, plus a touch of mineral.

This Pinot comes from the vines of the Côte de Nuits (towards Marsannay and Couchey) where the Pinot noir expresses all these aromas, its fruit and its terroir.

This elegant and fresh Pinot Noir exuded fruity freshness with loads of red fruit and some hints of dark fruit and licorice.

The nose is fresh with delicate notes of citrus, white flowers, and honey. The palate is elegant with a rich, rounded mouthfeel, expressive fruits and refreshing minerality.

Dusty fresh nose of white fruits and apple blossoms, fresh herbs and mineral hints. Smooth palate with fine acidity and a pointed, vivid texture. Fruity finish.

Barthod owns a mere quarter of a hectare of 25-year-old vines here, and this wine consistently offers a pronounced earthiness and a powerful sense of structure.

A beautiful ruby colour. This wine has pleasant, fresh, red-fruit aromas on the nose, which is found again on the palate. It has a rich and very ripe core of cherry/raspberry fruit, on a light dry frame. Pleasantly aromatic!

Bourgogne Aligoté is the only white this domaine grows, because Thomas believes his terroir (in Volnay) is better suited to this lighter bodied, 'drier' white.
