Fine, mid-red in appearance, with bright crunchy fruit, this is a refreshing 12 percent alcohol (without chaptalisation) – a wine designed for pleasure rather than power. It has delicious fruit on the palate; the impression is racy and lively, elegant and pleasing and very persistent.
Despite the ravages of hail over the last few vintages, Jean-Yves has successfully converted his vineyards to organic, and is certified from the 2014 vintage. Though Meursault, Beaune and Volnay suffered once again from the weather, Rully saw a respectable harvest. Jean-Yves reports healthy fruit, with not especially high sugar levels. The reds remind him of 2010, while there is more flesh to the 2014 whites than popular vintages such as 2004 or 2007.

Lovely, glowing, fresh, purple colour; this has a fabulous cherry and raspberry nose, clear pure fruit. With a little structure to keep it honest, this is otherwise very easy and appealing, with a nice touch of freshening acidity. Compelling at this price.
“Those who did the work in the vineyards will find it paid off in 2014”, opines Laurent Fournier. There is no problem with concentration if the yields were reasonable. He went through the vineyards twice, at the end of August and again just before picking, to remove any bunches he was not happy with. Even then he discarded two small plots of Clos du Roy so as to ensure that what made it to barrel, and then bottle, was first-rate. As indeed it is.

This is a mix of Marsannay, Côte de Nuits Villages and Bourgogne Rouge from a plot called Les Chaillots. Medium purple, there is plenty of lovely juicy fruit, good velvet, a little touch of reduction. The wine is seductive yet also with a bit of muscle. Plenty here for the future.

Caroline l’Estimé has been in charge of Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard since 1989. The 2014 vintage was their first to be certified organic by Ecocert, but sadly it was another small crop, no bigger than 2013. While Caroline was, as usual, self-deprecating with regards to her wines, we can tell you that they are absolutely stunning this year. We cannot remember a better vintage in her cellar.
Caroline’s village Chassagne Rouge is always bottled before the next harvest. It has a beautiful clear purple colour, with really elegant, pure fruit and floral notes. A graceful vintage, she says, while it is still young, fresh and vigorous. Fans will definitely want to follow this.

The reds may have been overshadowed by 2014's stellar whites, but there’s a heck of a lot to like about them, not least the cheerful, crunchy red fruit characater which is a hallmark of the vintage and presents itself in spades in this particular wine. Aromas of savoury spice and earth complete the very pretty picture.

For laying down,
This cuvée includes some Premier Cru Teurons. It has a dense purple colour with a dark centre, followed by a heavenly floral nose, with deep red fruits, rounded and well supported by its oak. A delicious attractive wine which will be accessible early.
David Croix started picking here on 11th September, two days before he began at Camille Giroud. This was a much easier harvest than 2013, as there was much less hail than the previous vintage. The wines have an elegance and freshness to them that appeals enormously, and yet does not hide their impressive concentration.

This is quite delicious. With a bright, rich purple appearance, and a nose that shows raspberry purée and real energy, this is a middleweight wine. Its quality shows on the finish; very good for village.
Tasting with David Croix at Camille Giroud is always a pleasure, especially so this year as the range of 2014s is delicious. David feels that the wines are all about drinkability and balance rather than exceptional power. His theory is that the great start to the growing season kept the vines healthy through the cool, damp summer.

Darkish purple in appearance, with a depth of crushed raspberry fruit, this is very fine on the palate, with peppery notes, good acidity and a lovely finish. An accessible, racy red wine.
The progress we noted with the 2013 vintage here has been further developed with an excellent range of 2014 wines. Extra details apparent this year are the enhanced use of lees after racking and the minimal use of sulphur without risking oxidation. The Château de Puligny rises a further few notches up the ladder. Étienne de Montille notes that, in 2014, “there was super clean fruit and we could pick at leisure”.

Dense, dark-purple in colour, this has powerful, earthy fruit on the nose; in the mouth it is tight and tense, almost chocolatey, with dark fruit and considerable purity on the palate. Take this wine for intensity, the Clos des Mouches for grace.
One of the exciting aspects of a buyer’s job is to discover new talent on the way up: David and Blandine Moreau clearly fit that description. David began his sixth harvest on 11th September for the white wines and 17th September for his more numerous reds. He is happy with the yields, and characterises the 2014s as having “fresh, crunchy fruit”, finding them more concentrated than 2007, not as strict as 2013 and overall a millésime de plaisir.

A fabulous wine from a less well-known appellation, this comes from very old vines set on a steep slope on white marl soil. It offers its usual delightful colour, with impressive concentration, really fresh crystalline notes, huge energy, and a great density of fruit with some cherry notes.

Coming from old vines and small bunches that remained free from rot, this is bright purple and very clean with a ripe and vibrant nose. There is very good tension to this, some firm tannins, a lovely crunch at the back and fine, ripe fruit which emerges at the finish.
Olivier Lamy went through his red vineyards three times before the 2014 harvest to remove any damaged berries, which especially posed a risk on the clay soils. The white crop, meanwhile, was superb, with healthy grapes and a respectable yield; picking began on 12th September. Olivier notes excellent definition between the different terroirs, which he says is typical of a cooler year. He plans to give the whites a slightly longer élevage than usual, while using minimal new oak, about 10 percent for the Premiers Crus. Drink 2018-2022

An impressively deep and brooding wine, this is made using whole bunches and without sulphur during vinification. Mid-purple in colour, with a brambly, juicy nose, this is very appealing. There is thick, ripe fruit on the mid-palate, black cherry, and – as always – a slightly smoky aspect. Powerful, brooding Burgundy.

Bright, bubbling red with a lively raspberry fruit nose, this is an excellent, mouth-filling wine. It avoids the final firmness seen in some Volnays this year, offering instead some acidity hidden within the fruit. Very persistent.

From an enclave known as Clos des Roches Noires, this boasts a noble, purple colour and a first-rate nose: there’s real class here. One can find a certain opulence in the mouth, with red fruit flesh and very old vines; it tightens up just enough at the back to guarantee safe ageing.

Slightly paler purple than Orchis but with a very beautiful rose petal and raspberry nose, this is silky and seductive on the palate, mouthfilling and juicy, very long. This is a fabulous wine for its appellation. A little bit of white pepper maintains the lifted feel.

From Les Plateaux vineyard, this has a bright midpurple colour, with attractive chewy, dark cherry fruit, sinewy on the palate, more red fruit than plum, with a deft little touch of oak.
Patrice Rion compares 2014 to a mix of 1979 and 1989 for the aromatics and delighted to have been able to pick a more or less normal-sized crop. He began on 12th September with healthy grapes, reinforced by his system of two sorting tables, one before and one after de-stemming. The amount of new oak has been reduced here, now just 30 percent on most cuvées.

Beautiful bright purple, with a marvellous fragrant floral bouquet, maybe some raspberry notes, majoring on the purity. This is not massively dense but has good acidity along with crunchy fruit. A great source of pleasure.
