Tasting notes
Aromas of ripe cherries, citrus rind and rose petal preface the 2017 Bourgogne Rouge, a medium-bodied, supple and succulent wine that's charming and fruit-driven. It will offer considerable early appeal.

20-year-old vines from Gilly in a spot that is often attacked by rot so they decided to plant (more resistant) Chardonnay. Aged in demi-muids. Racked 3 weeks ago. The 2017s are going upstairs to tank and the 2018s are coming down to the barrel cellar. The first fruit to be harvested, on 7 September. Tangy lively citrus, lemon and lime, with a fine dusty overlay. Tight and beautifully fresh but fully ripe fruit. (JH)
