Dominique has this parcel on a fermage contract. It’s an elegant expression of Beaune, with a bright purple colour, floral aromatics and rich fruit on the palate. The tannins are silky, seductive and perfectly integrated with the fruit. A wonderful, floral finish. Drink 2021-2026
After the famine of 2016, this year is something of a feast, at least in the case of the reds. Sadly, the whites, which Dominique praises as having excellent clarity, are in slightly smaller volumes than 2016. The good news is that the full range of red wines has been made, and in good volume too. Dominique is effusive in his praise for the 2017 reds, describing them as appealing, with beautiful balance, a lightness of touch, refined tannins and a floral character with stunning red fruit.
Lovely purple colour and exquisitely perfumed, this elegant Beaune is delicacy personified. Silky tannins are perfectly integrated into the fruit and the aftertaste is sublime. Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Director
Low on the slope and bordering Pommard, this can be quite a durable wine. The vines were planted in 1985. The wine is full of strawberry fruit, but with a spicy edge; well-judged and nicely structured. Drink 2023-2030.
