Reviewed January 2024Some light green reflections in the primrose yellow colour. A stricter nose, perhaps a touch of sulphur. This may also appear more backward coming after the Charmes. Then a vast wealth of fruit on the palate and now we see the real wine. It maintains the herbal note I associate with Genevrières, alongside golden fruit at a perfect degree of ripeness. The fruit and the acidity weave in and out of each other. I would not want the fruit to be riper but it is full of charm as it stands, and kept in place by the precision of the structure. Very fine. Drink from 2029-2037.

Burghound
Note: from 40+ year old vines from a huge 2.5 ha parcel in Genevrières Dessus. Firm reduction masks all the aromas except an interesting hint of exotic tea. There is again both good vibrancy and freshness to the finer still, but not denser, medium weight flavors that are almost delicate yet certainly don't lack for punch as the strikingly long finale is almost painfully intense. This is bone-dry but not especially austere and overall, one very classy wine. Buy it if you can find it.*Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*
Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "Broad, mineral, less effusive than the Charmes but still very fine and showing some extra floral character. Calmer but ore mineral and chiselled in style. Beautifully shaped and textured – very classy and certainly more contemplative than the Charmes today. Beautiful wine." (01/2024)
