The few times that I have tasted this producer, I found their wines “simple”. This was not, and I’d be happy to retaste this wines in 5 years time. Very young still.

First impression is lean and green. Sour red fruit that strikes me as a bit underripe. Grow on me with some time in the glass, but this isn't my style of Burg

A real blockbuster from @Jason Berry at Amitie' Wines. Amazing QPR wine that delivers young. Stewed strawberry and that good barnyard bouquet, bright full red fruit, substantial polished mouthfeel. So good and paired perfectly with pho!

Le Grappin 1er Cru Boucherottes: florals almost to violets here - purple if i can just offer a colour. Light on entry, almost bouncy - yet with a little depth, spice and good tannin structure. Pretty special. 93

A positive, tannic spine run from start to finish here, with sweet and spicey red berries fleshing out mid-palate. Slightly hot on the finish, but all in all a very ambitious wine.

2012 Le Grappin. Tight but opens with air. Bright and fun, just a baby.
