TASTING NOTES
This gorgeous Chassagne clearly standout for its intensity and inner balance. The Clos de Murées is a family Monopole, where vines were planted in 1970 in a calcaire-rich soil that imparts a clear mineral vein to the Chardonnay produced in this small slice of heaven. An epiphany of ripe peach and pear notes rise from the glass, all wrapped in...

TASTING NOTES
This wine has a slightly different label, “Leflaive & Associés” as it comes from purchased grapes. The vineyard in question is high up on the hillside on the Saint Romain side and faces east. The soils are thin and chalky, characteristics which are expressed in this wine which is lifted and pure. The 2017 has a refreshing lime note and...

TASTING NOTES
The 2013 vintage was very difficult vintage to manage, with a heavily reduced crop after the hail. This superb White Burgundy has a lovely perfume, and very Puligny-Montrachet in style. The really heightened fruit and exciting aromatics dance across the palate. This is a marvellous wine from a master winemaker and will be excellent to drink now after a short...

TASTING NOTES
Delicious ripe, smoky yellow apples on the nose show depth and complexity. The palate is rich and creamy and underscored by a textural, chalky minerality. The wine is elevated by a vibrantly pure, citrus acidity. The finish is long, concentrated and precise. Drink from 2020.Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES
The Maltroie displays a very subtle nose with pure yellow citrus fruits and hints of buttercups and summer flowers. There is a lovely richness of ripe citrus, apple and stone fruits on the palate with good acidity and a slight oaky sweetness. Hints of spice and a delicate note of freshly cut green ginger provide great length. Drink from 2015.

TASTING NOTES
The Vergers has a lovely rich, yet clean and fresh palate and seems ready to drink now but will age extremely well. It displays lovely ripe apple and bright refreshing citrus notes on the nose with sweeter yellow plum and fig characters coming through. On the palate, lively grapefruit characters are balanced by a lovely, salty mineral tang on the...

TASTING NOTES
A prominent vineyard in the centre of the village, next to the Church, Maltroie is a very complete wine and this was an exceptional showing. Stonefruits, orange blossoms and a fragrant honey on the nose with the depth of old vines really showing on the palate. There is a delicate spiciness which just adds more character and although there is...
