Andrew Nielsen Le Grappin

The seventh of our alphabetically organised tasting articles collating reviews of all the young burgundy 2023s tasted by Matthew in the Côte d’Or and by Jancis, Julia and Tam in London. Matthew took the picture above of Andrew Nielsen of Le Grappin. See also this guide to our coverage of this vintage in Burgundy.

These 146 tasting notes are grouped alphabetically by producer (sur)name and within those groups are ordered whites before reds, ascending from generic through village, premiers and grands crus.

Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard (Chassagne-Montrachet)

White

Something to grab the attention on the nose! Polished texture but assured fruit and classicism. A step up from some previous vintages. Really quite exciting. GV? (JR)

Drink: 2027 – 2036
Price: £305 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks
White

More generous than the Masures. But I think purists may prefer the Masures, even though this has more stuffing and bite. (JR)

Drink: 2028 – 2038
Price: £380 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks
White

Quite dense fruit – real volume here but some sweetness, which may not appeal to everyone. I've lost my heart to Les Masures ... (JR)

Drink: 2027 – 2037
Price: £560 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks
Red

Pale cherry red. Some evolution on the nose. Very sweet, mellow start. But not the most refreshing. (JR)

Drink: 2028 – 2035
Price: £225 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks
Red

Pure and satisfying with gentle tannins. Good, pure, refreshing wine. Elegant. (JR)

Drink: 2030 – 2042
Price: £255 per case of 6 ib Berry Bros & Rudd

Pierre-Olivier Garcia (Nuits-St-Georges)

White

Vegan. Promising aroma: intense, creamy, herbal citrus. Deep and generous on the palate but lacks the intensity of Boisset's Les Moutots (though I have not tasted the 2023). (JH)

Alcohol: 13%
Drink: 2026 – 2030
Price: £52.99 RRP imported by Liberty Wines
Red

Vegan. Light-to-mid crimson. Open and fragrant with tart red fruits. Attractively dry, chalky texture. Finest of tannins. (Apparently the red wines are all made with fruit that was manually destemmed so as not to break the berries.) Delicious but pricey. (JH)

Alcohol: 12.5%
Drink: 2026 – 2030
Price: £66.99 RRP imported by Liberty Wines
Red

Vegan. Mid crimson. Vibrant, intense aroma of dark, peppery fruits, and a hint of stems. Quite stemmy on the palate. Fragrant, delicate, super-fine tannins but expensive, presumably because of the manual destemming. Persistent. (JH)

Alcohol: 13%
Drink: 2026 – 2033
Price: £82.99 RRP imported by Liberty Wines
Red

Vegan. Beautifully perfumed with non-sweet and finely floral dark-red fruit. Finely tannic, scented from start to finish. A beauty, but seems more Chambolle that Nuits-St-Georges, except that the fruit is darker in character than typical Chambolle. (JH)

Alcohol: 13.5%
Drink: 2027 – 2035
Price: £117 RRP imported by Liberty Wines
Red

Vegan. Lightish cherry red. Sweet, ripe aroma of tangy red cherries. Deliciously dry, chalky tannins. Another beauty of elegance and restraint. Builds to a chewy finish and very long. (JH)

Alcohol: 13.5%
Drink: 2027 – 2037
Price: £117 RRP imported by Liberty Wines
