Delicious. Just the right amount of juiciness and old world character.

Usually a wine of finesse, this vintage highlights the ripeness of the Chalonnaise in 2015.

Juicy, fresh and ripe. With strawberries, wet rock and herbal undertones, great intro into the 2015 vintage

2012 vintage. Really great nose. Light in body but with great hints of black pepper and dark cherry.

2012 vintage. Well, if all non-pricey Burgundies would carry the same precision as this one, then we'd all be winners. Light, fragrant, fresh and made to be enjoyed now, but there's enough stuffing here to merit a few years of cellaring as well
