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

I returned many times to the charming Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas from AF Gros. I kept a glass on the side to see how it opened up over the evening – and it did so beautifully. The wine unfurled with red cherries, raspberries, undergrowth and forest floor, and a hint of the spice and smoke to come. Restrained right now but...

TASTING NOTES

Black fruits on the nose here, with a robust, sturdy confident, almost strutting style. On the palate there is extra finesse in the tannins and an additional layer of density. Drink from 2016.

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

The Bourgogne Blanc, which had completed its malo by springtime, is already in bottle and offers good fruit weight and mid-palate density but plenty of freshness too. The nose is pure and floral and the wine bounds along energetically, with a crisp, well-defined finish suggesting versatility, equally at home on its own as with simple foods. Drink from 2014.

TASTING NOTES

Produced from 50 year old vines, this wine has a lighter and more aromatic profile. A floral bouquet leads to  a palate with bright red fruit characters and a delicate mineral quality. This wine will grow in stature as it matures in bottle. Drink from 2020.Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES

A wonderfully harmonious, balanced and satisfying Pouilly-Fuissé, just delightful today. A touch of chalky minerality and bright acidity frame the citrus fruits and highlight the green and yellow fruit characters. This is absolutely glorious right now.

TASTING NOTES

Lovely nose, a mixture of red and dark forest fruit.  The palate shows excellent concentration and a touch of sweetness, very good concentration, mouth-filling and long.  Drink from 2020.Armit Wines
