Burgundy 2015 – G

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)

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)

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)

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)

Cask sample. Cool, limey citrus. Shapely, rounded and full of fruit flavour. Deep and long and still finishes with bright freshness. (JH)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Mid crimson. Edgy, lively, bitter cherry zestiness to the nose. Relatively lightweight but nicely transparent. Proper Morey. GV (JR)

Heady and nicely balanced with lots of ripe fruit and a kick of bitterness. Good stuff! (JR)

Mid crimson. Slightly sweaty nose and quite demanding palate at the moment. For the future! (JR)

Mid to dark crimson. Very intense and chewy. Quite backward. (JR)

Solid, dense and surprisingly fragrant. Polished and sweet and round. Really rather seductive. (JR)

Spicy nose and lighter than the Poissenot. Just a bit dull. (JR)

Bright crimson. Solid and strong with cherry stone flavours. Lots of bright appeal. (JR)

Solid and sweet. Chewy and firm. (JR)

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)

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)

Butter, lemon, apple and spice. The palate seems more limited than the nose, and the finish is fairly brief. (RH)

Lemon, salt, zingy acid giving a tart finish. Could use a bit more stuffing. (RH)

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)

Light, sweet red fruit – simple and fresh, with good ripeness. The subtle oak fits into the flavour profile nicely. Good acidic kick on the finish, and fully softened tannin. (RH)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Super-creamy aroma. Cool, fresh and elegant rather than intense. Straightforward, with great persistence but well balanced between fruit and freshness. (JH)

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)

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)

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)

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)
