TASTING NOTES

A mere 100 yards from Clos des Angles but such a contrast. This is a darker, more inward wine, with smoke, rock and mineral the key notes above and beyond the fruits. The structure and the salty finish are hallmarks. Guillaume feels that this wine has made significant progress in recent years, the vines now averaging more than 30 years...

TASTING NOTES

Due to very low yields in the Aigrots and Grèves vineyards, Lafarge decided to blend the two vineyards together to make one Beaune 1er Cru, a wine which combines the classic depth and elegance of the Grèves with the complexity and verve of the Aigrots. The wine displays a lovely inviting nose of concentrated berries with a lovely elegant floral...

Produced from a small 0.8 hectare vineyard next to Vosne Romanée, this is incredibly elegant, with a mixture of sweet raspberries and intense redcurrants on the nose. Bright and lively possessing real finesse, which is quite something at this youthful stage. The clear harmony here reflects its superb terroir. A great wine. Drink from 2016.

On the finish there is a mouthwatering salty, mineral tang. This is a very approachable and balanced wine which will be lovely to drink...

A nose of sweet cherry tobacco and a flowing, generous, even voluptuous texture on the palate. This is rounded and not at all austere as it has been in the past. Quite remarkable in fact. A note of wild rosehip and a pleasing medicinal scent add extra intrigue. A change in style for certain and a pleasure to see such...

TASTING NOTES

The higher sand content in this vineyard encourages a more supple, less structured wine and this extra finesse and fluidity allows it to make friends quickly. On the palate, there is exceptional energy here with complex aromatics lifting off one after the other. The intensity on the finish is initially a surprise after the breeziness of the attack but it...
