(6x75cl) 2023Burghound (90-93)
(from 35+ year old vines). Here too the expressive red cherry and raspberry-suffused nose is perfumed and even spicier. The sleek, vibrant and more refined middle weight flavors exude evident minerality on the slightly more vibrant finish where a touch of bitter pit fruit character slowly emerges. This is lovely and understated.Expected Price Range€348 - €417 -

The 2014 Volnay 1Er Cru les Brouillards has a mixture of red and black fruit, wilted violets developing in the glass, quite refined and yet gaining intensity all the time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit. There is a touch of rusticity here, a little ferrous towards the finish, although it has commendable substance and length.Inc. TAX€477.12 -

Dark red-ruby. Complex, dark nose melds blackberry, black raspberry, minerals, licorice, spices, mint and violet; reminded me a bit of a very fresh Cabernet Franc! At once dense and juicy, offering subtle soil tones and excellent purity and cut. This very fine-grained, dry wine finishes vibrant and alive.Inc. TAX€934.27 -

The 2021 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru, which according to Clément Boillot, is picked a little later these days. It displays one of the Domaine's most attractive bouquets with quite vivacious dark cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, more concentration than its peers.

Desvignes's 2018 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières is superb, bursting from the glass with a captivating bouquet of violets, raspberries, dark chocolate and smoky blackberries.

The 2020 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières is brilliant, unwinding in the glass with aromas of wild berries, spices, rose petals, loamy soil and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with impressive reserves of ripe tannin and sapid fruit, it's seamless and lively, concluding with a long, resonant finish. As ever, this is built to age, and it will reward patience, even if its youthful charms are considerable.Inc. TAX€234.48 -

The 2022 Morgon Aux Pierres Javernières comes from a métayage since the 2020 vintage from vines planted in 1931.

The 2018 Beaune Boucherottes 1er Cru fights off a bit of reduction on the nose to reveal a mélange of red and black fruit, oyster shell and lavender aromas.

The most prevalent and recognised or 'international grape' varieties in the world are mostly of French origin. The enduring popularity and respect of French wine has meant that Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvingon, Merlot and many others have been exported and experimented with around the world.
