Aux Allots

Rich purple colour with a concentrated nose showing dark inky fruit and a veneer of walnuts. The succulent, concentrated red and black fruit is backed by a firm finish with good acidity. This will develop into a classic Nuits St Georges.
Jasper Morris MW – Wine Buyer

From 50-year-old vines, this Vosne-side Nuits is a beautiful mid-purple, with deep, dark red fruit, a perfect acid balance, and weight and distinction showing on the palate. Very impressive in 2012.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Wine Director

As far as supply is concerned it’s a topsy turvy position in 2012. Overall, Ben has made plenty of wine but some cuvées are missing this year. The best volumes are with the Chassagne-Montrachet Premiers Crus, which are always a strong point chez Benjamin. From a standing start in 2007 Benjamin has made truly exciting progress, and has grown his business a little more quickly than expected as great opportunities have come his way. Yet each year he still doesn’t seem to have quite enough wine to satisfy demand.
