Vinous (89-91)
(picked on September 12): Dark red. Raspberry, minerals and smoked meat on the nose. Plush, silky and very ripe, although a bit lacking in definition and lift. Much smokier than the Etelois, this plush village wine finishes with building tannins.Inc. TAX€116.35 -
Vinous (89-92)
(14% natural alcohol; these vines, ranging in age from 55 to 80 years, produced just half of a normal crop in 2016, according to winemaker Mark Fincham): Bright, dark red. Somewhat wild scents of black raspberry, smoke, black olive and minerals. Dense, juicy and youthfully imploded, with its tight dark fruit and rose petal flavors conveying a strong impression of energy. Not currently displaying the give of the Etelois, this wine finishes with a hint of game and slightly dusty tannins. Fincham likes this better than I do today, but it should benefit from a racking.Inc. TAX€130.75 -

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin En Pallud is the largest cru of the domaine, from 0.64 hectares of vine located just below Mazis-Chambertin. It is raised in used barrels apart from one (I tasted from new François Frères and used). The precise bouquet presents red cherries, raspberry, crushed stone and wilted rose petals, beautifully focused. The palate is very finessed with silky tannins and pure red fruit. As Pinoté as Pinot Noir can be. I absolutely love this.Inc. TAX€654.97 -

(25% vendange entier; aging in 30% new oak; made from what Thomas Dinel described as a full crop, this wine had already been racked once by the time of my visit): Medium red.

(this comes mostly from the Vosne side of the commune and in particular from Aux Allots, Les Lavières, Les Argillats, Aux St. Julien, Petite Charmotte and les Herbues plus Plantes au Baron in Prémeaux). A subtle but not imperceptible application of wood can be found on the red berry and earth aromas that display a note of crushed herbs.

Though the grapes are purchased, the Marchand-Tawse team are responsible for the viticulture here, so it is effectively but not officially a domaine wine. Picked late in the piece, on 24th September, and vinified with 60% whole bunches, the Petite Charmotte is still in barrel with 30% new. A pretty pink ruby colour, extremely cheerful bouquet, whole bunch on the later picked fruit seems to have worked well. White pepper at the finish. Nothing forced, very harmonious, a little darker fruit but classy. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Nov 2024.Inc. TAX€572.14 -
