See this guide to our extensive coverage of Burgundy 2015. Our picture is of Thierry Glantenay in his brand new cellar extension dug out of the hillside above the village of Volnay.
Now that the wines have been sorted into groups by producer, you can sort the wines within those groups by score or appellation.
DOMAINE JEAN-NOËL GAGNARD
Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Les Chenevottes Premier Cru 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet
Intense, almost cheesy, nose – perhaps the lees character. Then pure-fruited and oaky on the palate. A very nice slight grip in the texture and marked intensity. The palate far better than the nose suggested. (JH)
Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Les Petits Clos Premier Cru 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet
Again that leesy note initially, then a marked cedar/oak aroma. Intense in both fruit and oak flavours. Concentrated and needing time to settle but has terrific focus and length. (JH)
Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Cailleret Premier Cru 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet
Much more stony on the nose than Les Petits Clos but still with the piercing intensity of green fruits and cedary oak. Firm, dry and grippy. Perhaps a little more austere than Les Petits Clos but great length. (JH)
Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Clos de Tavannes Premier Cru 2015 Santenay
Light cherry red. Notably stemmy in its fresh fruit aroma. Almost vegetal. Light, zesty, a little insubstantial but balanced overall. A slight bitterness on the finish because of that green note. (JH)
DOMAINE GAGNARD-DELAGRANGE
Dom Gagnard-Delagrange 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet
Cask sample. Cool, limey citrus. Shapely, rounded and full of fruit flavour. Deep and long and still finishes with bright freshness. (JH)
Dom Gagnard-Delagrange, Morgeot Premier Cru 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet
Cask sample. This is seductive in its lemon and cream fullness on the nose, just lightly spiced. But it is almost too crisp on the palate – I’d want this with food. Only just in balance, even for acid freaks. But perhaps with another couple of years in bottle … (JH)
Dom Gagnard-Delagrange 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet
Cask sample. Deliciously fragrant with delicate red fruits and a hint of tea leaf. Delicate, super-fine texture. Very pretty, and persistent in its lightness and with a finely fresh finish. (JH)
DOMAINE FLORENT GARAUDET
Two very attractive, good-value reds in a lighter, aromatic style. (JH)
Dom Florent Garaudet 2015 Monthelie
Light cherry red. Ripe, seductive red-cherry aroma. Almost like cherry liqueur in the impression of sweetness. On the palate, juicy, red fruited and finely zesty. Light tannins are just right for the fruit weight. Lots of straightforward pleasure. GV (JH)
Dom Florent Garaudet, La Taupine Premier Cru 2015 Monthelie
Light cherry red. Rich, ripe and full-fruited on the nose. More intense and less flirtatious than the straight Monthelie. Richer on the palate too but still with finesse in the acid/tannin framework. Finishes light and fragrant. (JH)
DOMAINE GEANTET-PANSIOT including GEANTET-PANSIOT
Dom Geantet-Pansiot 2015 Morey-St-Denis
Mid crimson. Edgy, lively, bitter cherry zestiness to the nose. Relatively lightweight but nicely transparent. Proper Morey. GV
Dom Geantet-Pansiot 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin
Heady and nicely balanced with lots of ripe fruit and a kick of bitterness. Good stuff!
Dom Geantet-Pansiot, Vieilles Vignes 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin
Mid crimson. Slightly sweaty nose and quite demanding palate at the moment. For the future!
Dom Geantet-Pansiot, En Champs 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin
Mid to dark crimson. Very intense and chewy. Quite backward.
Dom Geantet-Pansiot, Poissenot Premier Cru 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin
Solid, dense and surprisingly fragrant. Polished and sweet and round. Really rather seductive.
Dom Geantet-Pansiot, Les Feusselottes Premier Cru 2015 Chambolle-Musigny
Spicy nose and lighter than the Poissenot. Just a bit dull.
Dom Geantet-Pansiot, Les Baudes Premier Cru 2015 Chambolle-Musigny
Bright crimson. Solid and strong with cherry stone flavours. Lots of bright appeal.
Dom Geantet-Pansiot, Grand Cru 2015 Charmes-Chambertin
Solid and sweet. Chewy and firm.
DOMAINE HENRI GERMAIN
Dom Henri Germain, Les Chevalières 2015 Meursault
Cask sample. Ornate reductive nose with loads of matchstick and flint character. Weirdly enough, this style is starting to seem a little old-fashioned! Smoky bacon and apple on the nose. Very well done. (RH)
Dom Henri Germain, Porusot Premier Cru 2015 Meursault
Cask sample. Butter, salt, lime fruit – much less of the stylised reductive aromas of their Chevalières. Great purity, and there's a definite mineral tang on the finish. (RH)
DOMAINE JEAN-JACQUES GIRARD
Dom Jean-Jacques Girard 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune
Dom Jean-Jacques Girard, Sous Frétille Premier Cru 2015 Pernand-Vergelesses
Lemon, salt, zingy acid giving a tart finish. Could use a bit more stuffing. (RH)
Dom Jean-Jacques Girard, Grand Cru 2015 Corton-Charlemagne
Dry, full-bodied, baked apple fruit with a long and concentrated finish. Not much complexity – no oak spice, no reductive or nutty character – and perhaps not quite enough acidic spine to last for the long haul. (RH)
Dom Jean-Jacques Girard Pinot Noir 2015 Bourgogne
Dom Jean-Jacques Girard 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune
Attractive green herbal notes with a slightly sweaty edge. More savoury and more tannic than their Bourgogne, just as it should be – in fact, this has quite serious chunkiness. (RH)
Dom Jean-Jacques Girard, Vergelesses Premier Cru 2015 Pernand-Vergelesses
Richer and more confected red fruit than their Savigny, but not at all overripe. Light tannins, plenty of concentration and lovely violet fragrance perking up the finish. (RH)
Dom Jean-Jacques Girard 2015 Aloxe-Corton
Crunchy redcurrant and stemmy herbal note. Lovely tame tannic paste that gives shape without being intrusive. Good length too. Lovely combination of subtlety and promise. (RH)
Dom Jean-Jacques Girard, Les Lavières Premier Cru 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune
Rose petal and sweet cedar spice on the nose. Very aromatic palate – lovely floral perfume and complementary sweet spice. Relatively firm tannins, which are digestible now but will age well. (RH)
Dom Jean-Jacques Girard, Clos du Roi Premier Cru 2015 Beaune
Generous red fruit on the nose. Sweet oak influence too – not too obvious, but certainly prominent. Tame tannin, drinkable now and probably not intended for the long term. Finishes with a bitter juniper note. (RH)
JUSTIN GIRARDIN
Justin Girardin, Les Terrasses de Bievaux 2015 Santenay
Super-creamy aroma. Cool, fresh and elegant rather than intense. Straightforward, with great persistence but well balanced between fruit and freshness. (JH)
Justin Girardin, Vieilles Vignes 2015 Santenay
Light crimson. Lively, dark-red fruit. Super-juicy and deliciously approachable (H2Vin have been selling this for a few months). Supple and silky in a fresh light style. GV (JH)
Justin Girardin, La Maladière Premier Cru 2015 Santenay
Cask sample. Light crimson. Smells a little richer than the Santenay Vieilles Vignes. But on the palate it is slightly more austere in structure for now. More intense but less supple at the moment. Tight, dry finish. (JH)
Justin Girardin, Clos Rousseau Premier Cru 2015 Santenay
Cask sample. Light crimson. Lovely inviting red fruits and cream on the nose, livened up by a touch of spice. Juicy, fine-boned and deliciously fresh. Gentle tannins mean you could drink this now with food. (JH)
Justin Girardin, Beauregard Premier Cru 2015 Santenay
Cask sample. Light to mid crimson. Riper and more expressive than the Clos Rousseau. Lifted, fragrant, full of spiced fruit and vitality. Well balanced, easy-going. (JH)
VINCENT GIRARDIN
In 2015 for the first time they did 100% whole bunch...
