Burgundy 2024 – G WIP

Light, lively, approachable and ready to enjoy now. Why wait? Not the heftiest bourgogne but there is plenty of crisp, pure red-fruit flavour here. Enjoy over the next 12–18 months. (AWH)

Distinctly salty. Very salty! Just a bit too much for comfort. (JR)

Very old vines, almost centenarian.
Dense and rich on the nose. A little less exciting on the palate – and not cheap! (JR)

So much bluer and a little deeper than the Aloxe Valozières! Grainy, textured. Pretty dry on the end. Over-extracted? (JR)

Very pale garnet. Very gentle and sweet and charming. For drinking tonight so long as you are not looking for a fruit bomb? A real charmer with savoury appeal and could only be burgundy … but the price! (JR)

Smells like brambles/blackberries. Quite marked acidity and tannin on the end. Not charming! Quite hard work. Bone dry. (JR)

Pale shaded garnet. Juicy. Full of (relatively simple) pleasure. GV (JR)

Shaded crimson. Light nose. Structure more than fruit at the moment but it may deliver eventually. Grainy, slightly bitter finish for the moment. (JR)

NHB. Deeper crimson than some. Very juicy and successful. Lots of ripe fruit here, sufficient but not excessive acidity, and it’s not submerged by oak. Though there is still a little trace of it. Well done! But not cheap. (JR)

NHB. Another juicy wine, like their Poissenot, with a hint of mint – but I’d say not worth almost twice as much. (JR)
