The 2014 White Burgundies: What’s Not To Like? (Sep 2016)

Bright lemon-green color. Vibrant aromas of lime and anise. Juicy, sappy and light on its feet, but with no shortage of texture, offering racy, sharply chiseled citrus and wet stone flavors. Finishes surprisingly pliant and very long, with reverberating lemon and saline notes.

The 2014 White Burgundies: What’s Not To Like? (Sep 2016)

Bright yellow. Reticent nose smells softer than the Batard, offering scents of ripe stone fruits, grilled almond, ginger, smoke and musky white flowers. Big and plush in the mouth, conveying a considerably sweeter impression than the Batard. This wonderfully silky, seamless wine mounts in volume on the back half, finishing very ripe but dry, with…

The Consistently Delectable 2014 Red Burgundies (Jan 2016)

Good deep red with ruby highlights. Restrained aromas of licorice, violet and minerals.

At once sweet and firm, displaying lovely density and silkiness for the year, with firm underlying minerality. Scented and precise in the middle palate and a bit youthfully medicinal on the long, rising finish. There’s nothing extravagant about this…

2014 Red Burgundies: Delicious Terroir-Driven Midweights (Mar 2017)

(two of the five barrels were new until the racking): Medium red. Aromas of redcurrant, flowers and minerals, plus a hint of chocolatey oak. Velvety and sweet but reticent today, with alluring flavors of redcurrant and darker berries given cut and definition by crushed-stone minerality. Wonderfully rich and sweet for the vintage, and more perfumed…

2016 & 2015 White Burgundy (Sep 2017)

Pale, bright yellow. Ripe peach, menthol and spice aromas suggest a powerful wine. Concentrated, broad, smooth and sweet, with an element of gingery spice and firm acidity giving shape to the very ripe, savory peach and pineapple flavors and leavening the impression of early sucrosité. At once less fruity, less minerally and less refined than…
