Burgundy En Primeur 2023 Côte de Nuits

Marsannay Cuvée Marie Ragonneau  
£145.00 per 6 bottles IB

Named in honour of Cyril’s great-grandmother, who lost her husband in World War One but still managed to keep the estate intact to pass on to the next generation. The fruit for this cuvée comes from the domaine’s oldest vines in five different locations across the Marsannay commune and as such makes for a fantastic expression of the village style. A forward and charming nose is immediately giving with vivid notes of violet, wild mint, and sun-blushed red cherries. Pure, juicy and bright, with supple, rounded tannins, this is a delightfully easy drinking Pinot. Smiles all round. Drink 2025-2034

Marsannay Clos du Roy
£195.00 per 6 bottles IB

Located to the north of the commune on a steep, east-facing slope over a bedrock of hard Comblanchien limestone, this vineyard produces one of Marsannay’s more powerful wines. Sometimes a cuvée that needs time to show its charms, the 2023 does not conform to type and was already bright, open and joyful when tasted in November 2024. Brimming with vibrant notes of redcurrant, freshly picked raspberries and a hint of wild herbs, the limestone influence of the terroir really comes through in the mineral-driven acidity that provides shimmering tension throughout the red-toned core. A subtle tannic grip and a hint of bitter almond bring a pleasing bite and complexity to the finish. Drink 2026-2036

Marsannay Les Longeroies
£195.00 per 6 bottles IB

Under consideration as a Premier Cru, the Longeroies vineyard sits at the north of the Marsannay commune and is split in two, with the upper part sited on limestone slabs and the lower composed of reddish marl. With ripe Morello cherry and grenadine notes on the nose, generous fruit in the mid palate and plush, supple tannins, this cuvée shows more influence from the heavier marls of the lower Longeroies. A velvety expression of Pinot with immediate charm, a hint of savoury heather and gentle, blood orange acidity bring additional layers of interest to the finish. Drink 2026-2033

Gevrey Chambertin
£255.00 per 6 bottles IB

A very charming cuvee, combining Cyril’s ability to produce very suave Pinot Noir wines impressing in their youth with the body and texture one expects from the Côte de Nuit’s most structured appellation. Full, intense with an intriguing sweetness of fruit, finishing with lift and freshness. Drink 2026 - 2038

Marsannay Blanc
£160.00 per 6 bottles IB

Sourced from 3.5 hectares of village-level vineyards that are positioned in mid-slope, this cuvée provides a lively, pretty example of Marsannay Blanc. Open and enticing, bright notes of confit lemons, grapefruit peel and yellow plums sing out of the glass. Ripe, succulent and creamy on the palate, this is a generous white with a very pleasing texture. Softly glimmering acidity supports the fruit through to a mouth-watering finish. Easy drinking and highly approachable. Drink 2025-2030 

Puligny Montrachet Cuvée de Maizière  
£370.00 per 6 bottles IB

The fruit for this Puligny comes from a 0.5-hectare plot located on the lower slopes of the appellation. The 2023 has beguiling notes of white blossom, sun-ripened greengages, lemon curd and a just a hint of toasted hazelnut. Rounded and generous upfront, there is a vibrant, driving acidity at the wine’s core that brings a distinct wet pebble minerality. A hint of stony smokiness on the finish adds a further complexity to this eminently charming Chardonnay. Drink 2025-2032 

Marsannay Rouge
£145.00 per 6 bottles IB

This cuvee is a blend of fruit from 14 different terroirs across the commune of Marsannay and as such is a great expression of the overall Marsannay style. The 2023 shows bright, lifted notes of ripe red cherries and raspberries with a pretty overlay of white pepper spice and dried wild herbs. With rounded, plush and juicy red fruit at its core, this is an immediately approachable Pinot with just the right amount of fine-grained, chalky tannin to provide interest and depth. Charming and very reflective of both the vintage and village. Drink 2026 - 2032.

Marsannay Le Boivin  
£180.00 per 6 bottles IB

The vineyard of Le Boivin is centrally located in Marsannay and has a complex patchwork of soils, which include Comblanchien marble, a band of limestone and an outcrop of marl. Château de Marsannay own 0.7 hectares of old vines here, making this a cuvée of abundant depth and complexity. The 2023 shows a wealth of black cherry and dark forest fruit notes, along with hints of bitter almond, graphite and a wild, savouriness. Ripe and densely concentrated, this is a muscular wine with plenty of structure and power. Ripe, fine-grained tannins sit alongside vibrant acidity as the wine finishes on a peppery lift. Drink 2026-2038 

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux  
£498.00 per 6 bottles IB

Château de Marsannay own 0.29 hectares of this vineyard site, which is located in the middle of the slope towards the northern end of the Côte St Jacques. Soils here are best described as mixed and are renowned for producing flamboyant, fruit-driven wines that bring immediate, undemanding pleasure. The 2023 certainly conforms to this archetype, with bright and enticing notes of raspberry, red plums and bitter cherries. Fleshy, generous and rounded on the palate, a lovely volume of fruit is supported by fine-boned acidity and a lift of mineral tension. A light chalkiness to the fine-grained tannins brings texture and grip to the finish. Drink 2026-2040  

Ruchottes Chambertin Grand Cru   
£1,095.00 per 3 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

At the northern end of the Gevrey Grands Crus, Ruchottes is divided into two distinct sections; the Clos Ruchottes, which is owned entirely by Domaine Armand Rousseau, and the lower part of the vineyard, which looks like a rectangular notch taken out of neighbouring Mazis. Hailing from lower Ruchottes, Château de Marsannay’s vines are planted into highly rocky soils dating from the Bathonian period. Dense and brooding on the nose, this wine needs time in the glass to show its interwoven aromas of black cherry, black forest fruits, savoury oak spice and black pepper. On the palate, this is a hugely concentrated, tightly coiled Pinot that has a powerful, muscular presence. Firm yet velvety tannins coral the dense black fruit, whilst a vibrant, mineral-driven acidity brings energy and verve. A sophisticated wine that needs time to unfurl its true potential. Drink 2030-2050

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
Price TBC

Situated in one of the finest locations within this famed 50 hectares Grand Cru, the domaine owns less then ¼ hectare just below the old Château. A wine with great body and structure, fine, dense dark berry fruits with a long, continuous finish. Drink 2028-2049

Hautes Cotes de Nuits Rouge
£115.00 per 6 bottles IB

Those in search of a laidback, early-drinking Pinot from this year’s release need look no further than here. Vibrant and expressive, the wine displays notes of bramble fruit and tart cranberries, which, when combined with chalky tannins, means that this is so charming from the off. One of the parcels of this blend contains a touch more limestone content, resulting in a refreshing finish.
Drink 2025-2032  

Marsannay Champ Perdrix
£190.00 per 6 bottles IB

Year on year, this steeply sloped vineyard always produces one of the estate’s more charming wines and the 2023 is no exception. An exposed site with hard, rocky soils, there is a beautiful balance between tart black cherry and bright red berry notes on the nose. The palate shows undeniable power, yet the tannins are powdery and there is a touch of minerality which keeps the wine feeling lively throughout. Drink 2025-2032 

Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes  
£300.00 per 6 bottles IB

The domaine has an expanse of 3 hectares of village Gevrey, covering 17 different parcels, aged between 75 and 92 years old. These old vines result in a deeply concentrated and unctuous Gevrey, which displays a depth of blackberry fruit, hints of dried herbs, and subtle toasted oak. The palate is silky, with chalky tannins and juicy berry fruit giving depth, yet it remains refreshing throughout. A very elegant cuvée. Drink 2025-2035  

Gevrey Chambertin En Champs 
£335.00 per 6 bottles IB

This esteemed lieu dit at the northern end of the village sits just below Champeaux and, such is the complexity on show, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this too is a Premier Cru. With vines a staggering 120 years old, the nose displays delicate spice and sweet liquorice against a backdrop of bramble fruit. Texturally elegant, the tannins are fine and there is a saline stoniness to the finish that is almost tangy, but irresistible, nonetheless.
Drink 2025-2035 

Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes 
£375.00 per 6 bottles IB

Highlighting the quality of the old vines and their ability to overcome any challenges from the drier summer conditions, Fabien ages this cuvee in 50% new oak. There is an array of fruit on the nose, from tart red berries to darker blackcurrants, while the palate possesses power and structure in the form of powdery tannins and mouthwatering minerality. Drink 2025-2035 

Gevrey Chambertin Cuvée Edmond 
£375.00 per 6 bottles IB

Named for Fabien’s grandfather Edmond, who was such a driving force behind the domaine. This is the only cuvée at the domaine to be 100% whole bunch fermented, respecting the traditions of the past. Full of spice and wild alpine fruits, a very perfumed wine, held together by its healthy tannic structure. Great persistence, this will age extremely well.
Drink 2027-2047

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Poissenot 
£560.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

Named after a medieval fishpond, Poissenot is a continuation of La Romanée, where the soil’s high stone content gives the wine its layered, mineral style. Vibrant and bright on the nose, there is a rhythmic to and fro between pure blackberry fruit and more herbal and liquorice-laced notes. The tannins are powdery, yet the palate still packs a punch, where the energy and finesse of a Premier Cru become more apparent. This is a chiselled Poissenot that is already in a great place. Drink 2026-2038 

Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Plantes 
£630.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

It’s not every year that we have the privilege of tasting this fine Premier Cru, which hails from a smaller, lesser-known site alongside Charmes. Happily, we were given access to this fabled Chambolle Musigny, which won’t remain unheard-of for much longer. With pronounced aromatics of blackberries, charred oak, and dried sage, the palate has even more sweetness of fruit, where a bramble-blackcurrant play off enraptures the palate before giving way to warming oak spice. The star of the Geantet Pansiot troupe. Drink 2025-2042   

Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru  
£480.00 per 3 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

Geantet Pansiot’s flagship cuvée, the family have a generous 0.45 hectares of this great Grand Cru. A true Charmes Chambertin in every sense, this is an intensely aromatic wine, where the fruit is rocked back and forth by notes of cloves, rosemary, and a subtle hint of orange peel. The palate is beautifully textured, with silken tannins that encourage the black fruit and sour cherry notes to speak up on the finish. Simply superb. Drink 2025-2042

Gevrey Chambertin Dix Climats
£270.00 per 6 bottles IB

Four hectares of village Gevrey Chambertin in ten different locations is a sizeable parcel and, as a result, this cuvée is a superb example of this famous Côte de Nuits appellation. An array of dark spice and cocoa bean, this is a Gevrey which exudes confidence. Sweet dark berry flavours, with a sense of structure and depth. This is broad and rich on the palate and finishes on a touch of bitter orange. Excellent appellational style. Drink 2027-2038

Gevrey Chambertin En Champs 
£340.00 per 6 bottles IB

This is a fine vineyard, with its 60-year-old vines sitting just below Premier Cru Champeaux on the northern edge of the village. Whilst a proportion goes into the Dix Climats, Nicolas vinifies and bottles the finest plots separately and gives the wine a 30% new oak elevage to support the weight of fruit. A combination of smoky black forest fruits and whole bunch vinification scent. The initial attack is quite tight and controlled, as is so often the case with this cuvée, it evolves on the palate and shows all the potential to be a very high-class wine, with bottle age. Drink 2028-2040 

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Au Closeau 
£450.00 per 6 bottles IB

The smallest of Gevrey’s Premiers Crus at just 0.58 ha, of which the domaine owns 80%, sitting in an enviable place just below Grand Cru Mazis-Chambertin. A fresh and crunchy style, pomegranate and red currants. A tightly composed glass, with a taut tannic personality sitting above the parapet in the mid palate, however everything integrates perfectly on the finish, with intensity and longevity. Drink 2028-2040.

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Craipillots   
£450.00 per 6 bottles IB

The name Craipillots is a reference to the stony soils in the vineyard, which surely have an influence on the very mineral nature of this wine. Full of brightness and energy, with characters of cranberry and wild alpine strawberry (25% whole bunch). This is very serious in nature, direct in its linear structure and the most thought provoking of the Premiers Crus, with its long, complex finish. Requires time but will be a superb classic Pinot. Drink 2028 -2044 

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Prieur
£460.00 per 6 bottles IB

This Premier Cru owes its name to the Prior of the Abbaye de Cluny. The monastery which historically owned all the great Gevrey Chambertin vineyards, and this was a favourite plot with the Prior at that time. A sweet and generous wine with nutmeg and tarragon undertones preceding an array of wild blackberry fruit. Very long and deliciously succulent on the finish. Drink 2028-2042

Latricières Chambertin Grand Cru 
£930.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

A very old vine parcel, planted by Nicolas and Caroline’s grandfather in the 1960’s. In 2023 they only used 10% whole cluster as these aged vines naturally give fruit with small berries that are high in concentration. Aromatics of elderberry, Morello cherry and wood fire scent. An easy warmth and generosity of fruit, densely concentrated and a fine, long lingering finish. Drink 2028 -2049

Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru 
£930.00 per 6 bottles IB

The Drouhin Laroze plot is one of the very best in this appellation, named after the place of worship, just below Chambertin Clos de Bèze. A proportion of whole bunch vinification with the substance to cope with 80% new oak gives both extravagance and personality to the wine. The lifting “croquant” cranberry characters combine seamlessly with the mocha and freshly roasted coffee bean perfume. On the palate this is both full and compact thanks to the high proportion of clay in the soil which gives the wine a seriousness and sense of aristocratic confidence. Very long, with a lasting sensation of sweetness and alpine fruits. A rising star in the Grand Cru hierarchy. Drink 2027-2045

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 
£970.00 per 6 bottles IB

Lying at the top of the Clos just below the Château, in a parcel called “des Papes” reputedly reserved for the Popes of Avignon, the Drouhin Laroze hectare of vines is one of the very best positioned in Clos de Vougeot. The quality found here supports 80% new oak élevage, but with the Clos’ abundant natural power, Nicolas prefers to destalk the fruit 100%. An array of spice, cinnamon and clove intermingles with some juicy dark Morello cherry flavours. The initial impression is of sweetness and openness, highlighting the vintage’s warmth, but then the Clos’ brooding muscle builds and takes control. A very serious wine supporting the Clos’ reputation for making one of the Côte d’Or’s most powerful and longest-ageing Grands Crus. Drink 2029-2050  

Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 
£1,170.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

The family holding is a substantial 1.5 hectares in a wonderful location within the Chambolle Musigny sector of the appellation. Said to be named after a trinity of Roman goddesses of fertility, “bonnes mères”, the white marl soil here produces a generous and full style of wine. Nicolas’ wine making philosophy for this cuvée of 20% whole bunch vinification and 75% new oak enhances all the seductive richness that is so much this Chambollesque Grand Cru’s personality. Wild hedgerow fruits bouquet. It is so full and juicy in the mouth, ample with a fine powdery tannic texture. The finish is hugely pleasurable, packed with succulent dark berry fruit, and an underlying freshness keeps everything in perfect balance. Drink 2027-2045  

Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
£1,195.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

This great Grand Cru was a favourite of the monks of Cluny in the early days of classification. The Drouhin Laroze 1.5 hectares are particularly important; planted in 1949 they are over 70 years old and produce fruit of exceptional quality and intensity. This beautiful 2023 highlights why for many this is their favourite Grand Cru, with its silky grace and delicious volume. A multitude of dark berry and Black Forest gateau flavours, laced with violet and allspice. Such a graceful wine, with instant appeal. It will require huge willpower not to drink too early, before its absolute prime. A total joy! Drink 2027-2050  

Musigny Grand Cru Drouhin Laroze 
£530.00 per single bottle IB
(On Allocation)

This flagship Grand Cru is a relatively recent acquisition by the domaine, having been purchased in 1986 and is most perfectly situated in the finest of the great lieux dits, Le Musigny itself. Blueberry and blackberry and apple crumble notes. An ethereal and joyous wine in its initial attack, which carefully builds with poise and class. The tannins are lacelike in their silkiness, the wine is so assured, poised and subtle. Luscious and plush this reaches heights of brilliance that few can equal this vintage. Pure quality. Drink 2028-2050 

Morey St Denis  
£215.00 per 6 bottles IB

This cuvée comes from three separate lieux dits on the lower slopes of Morey St Denis: Aux Chesseaux, Clos des Ormes and Les Crais. Chantal always likes to bottle this cuvée early to preserve fruit purity which is her priority to show off the quality of the commune. Open and easy red cherry Pinot fragrance, with a smidgeon of cinnamon. It flows gracefully across the tongue, with a delicate tannic core. So pure and wonderfully charming. Drink 2026-2037

Gevrey-Chambertin Champerrier Vieilles Vignes 
£255.00 per 6 bottles IB

From a selection of 100-year-old vines planted by Felix Tortochot in 1920 at the bottom of Côte St Jacques, this cuvée is a very rewarding example of village Gevrey. Gamey with a wild fruit personality, excellent breadth and volume. A lavish and full style, kept carefully in control with its fine sandy tannic fabric and wonderful old-vine length that surpasses its classification. Drink 2027-2038 

Morey St Denis Cuvée Renaissance
£345.00 per 6 bottles IB

This is a particularly special cuvée of Morey St Denis for Chantal, named for its return to the domaine after 36 years on a leasehold her father set up with a neighbour in Morey St Denis. It is a beautiful expression of Morey St Denis, which in itself is an appellation reborn. Sweet tayberry and loganberry flavours, a sumptuous and juicy style, highlighting the sweetness of fruit in 2023. Persistent and very graceful to the finish. Drink 2027-2038

Morey St Denis 1er Cru Aux Charmes 
£360.00 per 6 bottles IB

Morey St Denis’s Premier Cru Aux Charmes adjoins Mazoyères Grand Cru. Legend has it that if it had fallen within the more powerful parish of Gevrey Chambertin, it would have been classified as a Grand Cru. With wild autumnal fruit flavours, there is a balance between ample fruit and a controlled core of minerality, with a long, lifting bitter cherry freshness on the finish. Drink 2027-2042 

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux 
£375.00 per 6 bottles IB

A well-positioned Premier Cru on the northern border of the commune alongside Brochon. The vineyard’s clay soil gives a depth of fruit that allows Chantal to age this cuvée in 50% new oak, which it amply supports. It combines gentle, subtle bilberry flavours, with a fullness and breadth in its composition. A very composed and classy Premier Cru. Drink 2027–2042 

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques 
£410.00 per 6 bottles IB

Lavaux St Jacques is one of Gevrey’s highest vineyards, renowned for making wines of great elegance. The cooling high altitude is offset by its southerly exposure, and the benefits always shine through in this excellent cuvée. The immediate sensation is of the warmth of the location and vintage, with abundant dark berry fruit flavours and hints of spicy oak. The finish highlights the benefits of its location, the cooling nights giving a refreshing lift and precision. Drink 2027-2045 

Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru  
£1,145.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

The vineyards of Mazis Chambertin sit between Clos de Bèze Grand Cru and the village of Gevrey Chambertin and are respected for making deep and powerful wines. Opening with brooding dark berry fruits, this wine swiftly shows its breadth and structure as it keeps building in muscle and depth. The impressive weight of fruit easily supports the wine’s tannic core, resulting in a cuvée with huge potential. Such a fine example of this Grand Cru. Drink 2029-2052 

Le Chambertin Grand Cru  
£1,450.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

The jewel in Tortochot’s crown; almost 0.5 hectares of Gevrey’s greatest Grand Cru at one of the highest locations within the vineyard, sitting just below the tree line. Chantal was delighted to have made seven barrels in 2023, but prepare yourselves for just 300 bottles in 2024! A lavish scent of blackberry fool and vanilla pod flows through to the palate. Beautifully composed and poised, this is extremely intense with a long purposeful finish. A wine of infinite stature, true to its prestige and classification. Drink 2028-2049

Bourgogne Rouge 
£175.00 per 6 bottles IB

Crafted using 50/50 new and one-year-old barrels, this is an archetypal entry-level Pinot Noir from one of Gevrey’s finest estates. The new oak lends a subtle charred note and delicate nutmeg spice to an otherwise red berry focused wine, which will offer joyous drinking right from the off. Drink 2024-2028 

Gevrey Chambertin 
£255.00 per 6 bottles IB

For this superb appellational cuvée, Karine and Frédérique have a policy of destemming all the bunches in order to accentuate the wine’s clarity of fruit. Due to the warmth of the vintage, a slightly higher proportion of new oak was used for this wine, yet it has not lost any of its purity and elegance. With red berry and cherry sweetness on the nose, there is a darker edge to the palate, where the tannins add structure and power as they chaperone the fruit to the finish. Drink 2026-2035  

Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 
£310.00 per 6 bottles IB

If one wine were to embody the viticultural philosophy at Domaine Serafin, then this would be it. Made from two separate plots, which are home to vines aged from 70 to well over 100 years old, there is tremendous concentration of fruit here, with notes of cranberry, loganberry, and toasted oak coming to the fore. Meanwhile, the palate possesses a darker side where the fine-grained tannins are indicative of the wine’s ageing potential. A true representation of Gevrey Chambertin. Drink 2028-2040 

Morey St Denis 1er Cru Les Millandes  
£425.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

A number of famous domaines have holdings in Les Millandes, a highly-regarded site which lies just below Clos de la Roche Grand Cru. Expressive on the nose, with notes of pomegranate, summer fruits, and a subtle hint of ground coffee, the palate is equally charming with a sweetness of fruit that oscillates between red and black fruit. There is power here as the tannins give structure before finishing with a very pleasing bite of crunchy cranberry.
Drink 2026-2038 

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux 
£450.00 per 6 bottles IB

The walled Corbeaux vineyard lies in a small dip beside Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru and is famed for producing wines of finesse, which are always very affable in their youth. This year is no different, displaying aromatics of red berry fruit and delicate charred oak, while the palate has an irresistible tart cherry note that presents the perfect foil for the wine’s fine-grained tannins. Meaning ‘the crows’, Les Corbeaux was a cemetery in the Middle Ages home to a murder of these birds, but now the site produces wines that are full of life. Drink 2027-2040  

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Fonteny  
£560.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

The east-west aspect of Fonteny means that the vineyard receives sunshine exposure throughout the day, resulting in wines which are always packed to the brim with fruit. Pure and defined on the nose, there are notes of bright redcurrant and cranberry fruit, interspersed with sweet smoke and nutmeg spice that make this such a moreish wine. This can often be powerful, but the 2023 shows an elegance and approachability even at this early stage. Drink 2026-2038 

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes  
£610.00 per 6 bottles IB

This is already so attractive. Drink 2028-2042 

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Cazetiers  
£720.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

Arguably one of Gevrey’s most esteemed Premiers Crus sites, the wines of Cazetiers are renowned for their elegance and complexity. Serafin’s rendition is darker than its peers, but still possesses the aromatic intensity and sweetness of fruit that has come to define this vineyard. The palate is expressive, offering wild black fruit and sweet vanilla, while the gentle tannins and judicious oak management are beautifully expressed on the palate. Drink 2027-2040 

Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru  
£585.00 per 3 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

The Sérafins own a third of a hectare of this magnificent Grand Cru and have once again produced a wine with substance and depth. Already so eloquent even at this early stage, the nose displays bright aromatics of cranberries and blackberry fruit. This sweetness is echoed on the palate, where fine-grained tannins add structure before melting away to reveal further layers of complexity. This has all the components to be a great Grand Cru. Drink 2028-2045 

Gevrey Chambertin 
£240.00 per 6 bottles IB

Made with the fruit from eight different parcels across the village of Gevrey, this cuvée benefits from a multitude of individual terroirs and as such provides a great snapshot of the village style. A charming nose of pretty redcurrant and red cherry fruit is given further depth by a delicate hint of violet and a twist of white pepper. The ripe, plush core of sweet summer berry fruit is sustained by a vibrant thread of acidity that brings energy and tension to the palate. Soft, silky tannins provide a deceptively gentle structure; there is a density here that will support time in bottle. Drink 2026-2036  

Chambolle Musigny 
£276.00 per 6 bottles IB

This cuvée contains fruit from three separate parcels of vines within Chambolle and expresses all the charm and finesse of the village. The fragrant and inviting nose delivers bright notes of red cherries, sun-warmed raspberries and a hint of cherry stone bitterness. A rounded, supple core of ripe, red-toned fruit is enlivened by a line of fresh, blood orange acidity and shaped by fine-grained tannins that bring a very slight chalkiness to the finish. The overall impression is one of carefully judged balance and finesse. Drink 2026-2035 

Gevrey Chambertin Les Evocelles 
£312.00 per 6 bottles IB

The steep, stony vineyard of Les Evocelles is located at the very north-western edge of Gevrey, at an altitude of between 320-380m above sea level, resulting in a cooler microclimate. The plots of vines owned by the domaine are at the very top of the hill, where limestone dominates the subsoils. The 2023 is a delightfully expressive wine with ripe notes of Morello cherry, raspberry coulis, bitter almond and a hint of white pepper spice. Plush fruit sits around lively, mineral-driven acidity, which delivers a covert touch of salinity to the wine’s core. Fine, sleek tannins encase the whole, leading to a moreish, elegant finish. Drink 2026-2040   

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Champonnets 
£204.00 per 3 bottles IB

Boillot’s vines here are north facing and enjoy the cool breeze that flows down from the nearby valley. As such, this cuvée always exhibits a vibrant freshness and the 2023 is no exception. Showing bright notes of redcurrant and pomegranate, the nose is given further depth by a savoury whisp of white pepper. Ripe, succulent fruit is enlivened by sprightly, mouth-watering acidity whilst silken, yet structured tannins provide shape and poise. Finishing with a lift of pepper spice, this is a highly attractive wine that speaks of its place. Drink 2027-2040

Refined and delicately fashioned, there is a creamy texture to the mid-palate, with refreshing acidity and a light hint of bitter almond on the finish.
Drink 2025 – 2030.  

Nuits St Georges Blanc 1er Cru Clos de l’Arlot

A walled monopole, Clos de l’Arlot spans a total of 4 hectares and the steep slope in the middle section of the vineyard is planted to whites; Chardonnay with a tiny percentage of Pinot Beurot. With an aromatic and highly perfumed nose, this wine is immediately arresting, its beguiling notes of jasmine, lemon curd, grapefruit zest and lightly toasted hazelnuts demanding close attention. There is a generous volume of fruit at the core, buttressed by a Chablis-esque, flinty acidity and wet stone minerality. Long, bright and vivacious, this wine will undoubtedly develop beautifully in the cellar. Drink 2025 – 2030  

Côtes de Nuits Villages Clos du Chapeau  
£165.00 per 6 bottles IB

Between Nuits St Georges and Ladoix Serrigny, lies another of the domaine’s monopole vineyards, Clos du Chapeau, which is said, rather poetically, to resemble a top hat. Lifted white pepper and nutmeg spice sit alongside pretty aromas of ripe red cherry and cranberry. With pure, bright and poised red fruit on the palate, soft, fine-grained tannins and crunchy acidity, this is an attractive cuvée with immediate appeal.
Drink 2026 – 2032 

Nuits St Georges 1er Cru
Cuvée Mont des Oiseaux  
£340.00 per 6 bottles IB

Originally known as Petit Arlot, with the grapes coming from young vines within the Clos de l’Arlot, this cuvée was renamed Mont des Oiseaux when the vines had reached the maturity to reflect their Premier Cru status. In a further twist, 2023 may be the last vintage of Mont des Oiseaux as the tiny 2024 crop will be blended into Clos de l’Arlot itself and the domaine are contemplating making this a permanent change. This vintage has an engaging nose of Morello cherry compote and pomegranate, with hints of nutmeg and bitter cocoa nibs. There is lovely fruit sweetness upfront, with a pure line of blood orange acidity running through the core and suave, elegant, mouth-coating tannins. Effortlessly poised. Drink 2026 – 2035 

Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot 
£455.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

The dramatic topography of this walled, monopole vineyard is due partly to a natural fault line and partly to historic quarrying. The soils here are a mixture of marl, limestone and white oolite, giving an intricate, nuanced complexity to this Pinot Noir. The 2023 beguiles with a lifted, highly fragrant nose filled with cranberries, wild strawberries, pomegranates and a twist of dried wild herbs. Ethereal, pure red berry fruit flows effortlessly across the palate, supported by tannins that are gauzy, finely spun and impressively refined. Yet, beneath this graceful and understated façade there is the depth, complexity and power of a high-class red Burgundy. Drink 2026 – 2055  

Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Clos des Forêts St Georges
£455.00 per 6 bottles IB
£475.00 per 3 magnums IB
(On Allocation)

Domaine de l’Arlot is 15 hectares in total and their largest monopole, Clos des Forêts St Georges, accounts for an impressive 7.2 hectares. Alongside Les St Georges, which sits immediately to the north, Clos des Forêts is considered by many to merit Grand Cru status. Sometimes a little shy when young, the 2023 is atypically forthcoming with an exuberant, open nose exhibiting notes of bright red cherry, grenadine, baked earth and light nutmeg spice. Whilst the palate is weighty, with a muscular tannic structure in evidence, the vibrant acidity, chalky minerality and layered, complex finish ensures an exquisite harmony and balance.
Drink 2027 – 2050

£950.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

Nestled between the Grands Crus of Romanée St Vivant, Echézeaux and Richebourg, it is no surprise that Les Suchots is highly acclaimed. An aromatic and perfumed wine, the 2023 is redolent with scents of Morello cherry, blood orange, pomegranate and just a hint of mineral-laden smoke. With a plush, satisfying core of ripe berry fruit, the tannins here are broad and overt, yet do not overwhelm. A line of fresh acidity brings a vibrancy to the finish, which sings with fruit sweetness. More approachable in youth than the 2022, this is nonetheless a wine with great capacity to age. Drink 2027 – 2055  

Romanée St Vivant Grand Cru
£575.00 per single bottle IB
(On Allocation)

The Arlot parcel of Romanée St Vivant is as fine as it gets, sitting directly below the great Romanée Conti, with just a 10-foot lane separating them. The 2023 is a superb, highly seductive Pinot that’s almost impossible not to love. Vibrant notes of red cherry fruit, pomegranate and cranberry are seasoned with subtle whisps of woody herbs, nutmeg and mineral-laden smoke. Densely concentrated and almost revelling in fruit sweetness, the palate is powerful but suave, supported by finely woven, silky tannins and elegant, blood orange acidity. Complex flavours continue to build subtly throughout the long finish, giving a wonderfully complete wine that’s at once vivacious and poised. Drink 2027 – 2055  

Bourgogne Blanc Hautes Côtes de Nuits La Montagne
£170.00 per 6 bottles IB

As the name of this lieu dit suggests, the vineyard for this cuvée sits at altitude and on a rocky outcrop of eroded limestone. 70% fermented in oak barrels, and the rest in clay amphorae, this wine shows lovely, layered aromatics with notes of freshly-churned butter, yellow plums, smoke, and savoury nutmeg spice. A core of ripe citrus fruit is supported by fresh, saline acidity that speaks of the limestone bedrock and ensures a moreish finish. Drink 2025-2028  

Saint Romain Au Bas de Poillagne Blanc
£190.00 per 6 bottles IB

The vineyards of Saint Romain are the highest in the Côte d’Or, sitting between 350 and 410m above sea level, and their soils contain a significant proportion of active limestone. 70% fermented in oak barrels, and the rest in clay amphorae, this Chardonnay has enticing aromas of confit lemons, greengages, whipped butter and a savoury smokiness. The ripe, plush core is sustained by a lemon-driven acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lively. Drink 2025-2030 

Bourgogne Rouge Les Clusers
£125.00 per 6 bottles IB

Situated in Prémeaux Prissey, to the south-west of Nuits St Georges, the vineyard of Les Clusers has quintessential limestone-clay soils.

Bourgogne Vieilles Vignes Les Chaillots  
£130.00 per 6 bottles IB

The tannins have a firm grip, but are ripe, and will mellow beautifully with a little time. Drink 2025-2030  

Bourgogne Rouge Hautes Côtes de Nuits La Montagne  
£155.00 per 6 bottles IB

True to the name of this lieu dit, the vineyard for this cuvée sits at altitude and on a rocky outcrop of eroded limestone. Lifted, bright and full of redcurrant and lightly floral aromas, this is a very fresh, precise expression of Pinot Noir.

Drink 2025-2030 

Auxey Duresses Le Plain de Lugny Morgan Truchetet
£170.00 per 6 bottles IB

The Plain de Lugny vineyard sits towards the western end of a crescent-shaped swathe of vineyards that runs south-west from Saint Romain, along the line of the Melin rivulet. Pauline’s grandfather planted vines here in 1972, banking on the site’s limestone soils and full southern exposure. This cuvée is handled very gently to ensure an appealing heart of soft, ripe fruit. The 2023 displays bright aromatics of redcurrant, pomegranate and raspberry. The pure, vibrant palate has a cool limestone clarity, lasting freshness and supple, ripe tannin, giving an elegant expression of Auxey Duresses. Drink 2026-2032 

Côte de Nuits Villages  
£190.00 per 6 bottles IB

The fruit for this cuvée comes from three plots situated underneath the hill of Comblanchien on light, friable clay soils. This terroir brings a darker fruit profile to the wine, with aromas of Morello cherry and wild bramble fruits seasoned with a touch of nutmeg spice.

Refreshing, juicy acidity and a lift of black pepper on the finish make for an eminently charming wine. Drink 2026-2032

£198.00 per 6 bottles IB

Made from half a hectare of superbly positioned vines just below the famous Clos de la Maréchale, this is a highly fragrant cuvée with captivating floral notes, which Pauline likens to blackcurrant blossom, and aromas of wild strawberry.

Nuits St Georges Les Topons Morgan Truchetet  
£240.00 per 6 bottles IB

Lieu dit Les Topons sits to the north of Prémeaux Prissey, just over the road from a bank of Premiers Crus vineyards. The 2023 is still relatively shy, with a restrained, savoury nose supported by bright notes of fresh cranberries. On the palate, this is a lively, highly energetic red wine with chalky tannins that feel tightly coiled and a streak of minerality holding everything together. A wine that will undoubtedly unfurl over time. Drink 2026-2032  

Morey St Denis Morgan Truchetet
£275.00 per 6 bottles IB

Fruit from two neighbouring lieux dits, Clos Solon and Bas Chenevery, is combined to great effect in this cuvée. With a nose reminiscent of Morello cherry compote, pomegranate and a hint of iron-rich earth, this is a muscular Pinot with good density and broad, ripe tannins. Lifted, fresh acidity and overt mineral tension keep the wine lively and engaging. Drink 2026-2034 

Gevrey Chambertin Morgan Truchetet
£330.00 per 6 bottles IB

(Not tasted.)A single parcel site called Les Seuvrées on the borders to Morey St Denis and produces a more refined and scented expression of Gevrey.

Drink 2026-2038

Nuits Saint Georges Vieilles Vignes  
£335.00 per 6 bottles IB

The grapes for this cuvée come from two neighbouring lieux dits just outside Prémeaux Prissey; Les Charbonnières, where Truchetet’s vines are 100 years old, and Les Topons, where they are 70 years old. The veteran vines bring layers of complexity to this full and concentrated wine, but the hallmark fruit purity of the 2023 vintage still shines through. With a lifted nose of pomegranate, wild red berries and a hint of violet perfume, the palate is ripe, rounded and weighty with tannins that are at once silky and elegantly spun. A light touch of pepper brings this lively, seductive Pinot to a satisfying close. Drink 2026-2038  

Chambolle Musigny Morgan Truchetet
£410.00 per 6 bottles IB

From a single source, which Morgan manages throughout the growing season, this cuvée aims to showcase the elegance and charm of the Chambolle appellation. Freshly racked when we tasted, the 2023 already shows appealing notes of ripe red cherry and grenadine, with a hint of gentle nutmeg spice. Generous and supple, the pure core of red fruit succeeds in capturing the spirit of Chambolle. With harmonious freshness and ripe, sweet tannins, there is an elegant lightness of touch to the finish. Drink 2026- 2034 

St Aubin 1er Cru Murgers Dents de Chien
£198.00 per 6 bottles IB

Situated to the south of the St Aubin appellation and bordering two Puligny Montrachet Premiers Crus, the south-west facing Dents de Chien vineyards are highly prized. After twelve months of careful élévage, this is an exuberant white with a beguiling nose of confit lemon, succulent apricots and just a hint of toasted hazelnuts. Whilst rich and weighty, the vibrancy and freshness at the wine’s core ensures this is a highly poised Chardonnay. Drink 2025 – 2030  

Chambolle Musigny Vieilles Vignes  
£215.00 per 6 bottles IB

The vines for this cuvée, which are between 60 and 80 years old, produce very small, highly concentrated berries. The team employ kid-glove treatment in both the vineyard, where the vines have to be worked mostly by hand to protect the veteran ‘pieds’, and the winery. This approach produces a wonderfully expressive and pretty wine packed with scents of grenadine, ripe red cherries and wild violets. There’s a lovely depth and volume of fruit here, with rounded tannins that add a slight chalky grip to the finish. Eminently charming, but with potential to unfurl further with age. Drink 2025 – 2035 

Nuits St Georges 
£220.00 per 6 bottles IB

Sourced from three different plots, Aux Allots, La Charmotte and Aux Saints Jacques, which are all located on the Vosne Romanée side of town, the vines for this cuvée have an average age of 60 years, bringing a depth and quality that really shines through. The 2023 is aromatic and pretty, showing ripe red cherry, redcurrant and a touch of savoury nutmeg spice. The supple core of pure Pinot fruit – the hallmark of both Charmotte and Allots – is held together by ripe, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity for a charming, moreish finish. Drink 2025 – 2033 

Morey St Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbé  
£245.00 per 6 bottles IB

Named for the Sorb apple, which may have been planted here many centuries ago, this Premier Cru site is located below the Grand Cru of Clos des Lambrays and benefits from an easterly exposure and chalky-marl soils.

The high chalk content of the soil makes itself known in the vibrancy of the finish. Drink 2026 – 2035

Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Noirots
£298.00 per 6 bottles IB

The patchwork of soils in the vineyard, ranging from limestone pebbles through to iron-rich red clay, brings a distinctive character to this cuvée.

With fine-grained, supple tannins and excellent depth, this is already a very complete Pinot. Drink 2026 – 2038

£1,962.00 per 6 bottles IB

Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les Porets St George
£396.00 per 6 Bottles IB
(On Allocation)

Located to the south of the town of Nuits St Georges, Les Porets was historically used to grow pear trees, but its relatively deep and gravelly soils have long since proven much more suited to vines. Erwan Faiveley considers this site as the perfect meeting of the Côtes de Beaune and Nuits styles. Initial notes of liquorice root and wild herbs give way to aromas of redcurrant and wild strawberry. Energetic and lively red fruit characters are underpinned by tannins that retain a firm, chalky grip, which will undoubtedly mellow with time. Drink 2026- 2038   

Nuits St Georges Les Damodes
£456.00 per 6 bottles IB

One of the Nuits’ most northerly climats, Les Damodes sits on the high slopes adjoining Vosne Romanée and alongside the highly esteemed Premier Cru Malconsorts. The stony soils and raised altitude of this vineyard, which is 250m above sea level, make themselves known through bright cranberry and raspberry toned fruit, vibrant acidity and quivering tension in the mid-palate. Although vibrant and fresh, the wine has silky tannins and enough breadth to support gentle cellar ageing. Drink 2026-2038 

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Beaux Bruns
£516.00 per 6 bottles IB 

Sitting on one of the lower slopes within Chambolle Musigny, the Premier Cru status of Les Beaux Bruns is, in large part, due to the alluvial deposits from the Combe de Chambolle. This cuvée is a blend of three different parcels and, although a négoce wine, all of the fruit comes from one grower who works to the exact specifications of the Faiveley team. The 2023 shows bright, vivacious notes of redcurrant and wild strawberry, with a delicate touch of sun-dried oregano. The palate is filled with crunchy, juicy red fruit and the chalky grip from the tannins brings sappy texture that’s lively, energetic and enjoyable. Drink 2026-2038

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru La Combe aux Moines
£534.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

The Combe aux Moines has a long and complex history, with vines planted here perhaps as long ago as the 7^th Century. The modern-day vineyard benefits from a steep, east-facing slope (part of the highly regarded Côte St Jacques) and quarry walls that form a heat-retaining amphitheatre. This means that grapes from this Premier Cru reliably achieve full ripeness and the 2023 is no exception; the nose is a hedonistic cornucopia of sun-ripened raspberry fruit, grenadine, and Morello cherries, seasoned with hints of dried wild herbs and cocoa nibs. Generous, lush and laden with sweet red fruit characters, this is a confident wine with joyful acidity and ripe, mouthcoating tannins. Already a delight. Drink 2027-2045 

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques
£618.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

Whilst south facing, the Faiveley parcel of this higher altitude Premier Cru also receives a fairly constant stream of cool air from the Combe de Lavaux. As such, grapes grown here exhibit an excellent balance between fruit exuberance and freshness. With bright aromas of redcurrant, pomegranate and red cherry on the nose, the first impression is of fresh, crunchy Pinot fruit. The profile then broadens out on the palate to show ripe, rounded Morello cherry with a whisp of savoury smoke and a light dusting of bitter cocoa. Fine-grained, sweet tannins and lifted acidity bring the wine to a satisfying close. Drink 2027-2040 

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers 
£636.00 per 6 bottles IB

Located on a steep slope of the Côte St Jacques, between 300m and 360m above sea level, this eastern-facing vineyard is considered amongst the elite of Gevrey Premiers Crus. Cazetiers is also a flagship for Faiveley, with the family owning just over half of the 8-hectare Premier Cru. As such, vines for this cuvée are planted on all four of the distinct geological bands that run through the vineyard and the resulting wine is a terrific expression of the overall terroir. The 2023 is currently a little shy on the nose, with savoury notes of wild herbs and restrained, red-toned fruit. The tightly wound palate, with its concentrated grenadine characters, energetic acidity and structured, muscular tannin, is certainly built for the long-term. A classy wine that will unfurl with as yet unseen complexity over years to come. Drink 2028-2045 

Chambolle Musigny Les Fuées 
£672.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

(Not tasted.) One of Chambolle’s highest positioned Premiers Crus, with a very stony soil that produces very fine and mineral wines. Sadly though, they are going through a replanting programme at this exceptional vineyard, so they are currently only making 3 barrels before the next generation of young vines come through and make their mark. Drink 2027-2045 

Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les St Georges
£840.00 per 6 bottles IB

Regarded as the leading vineyard in Nuits, and certainly worthy of Grand Cru status, Les St Georges sits on brown clay soils that are peppered with small stones, ensuring good drainage. Faiveley own a quarter of a hectare in the south-east corner of the vineyard, and this is supplemented with fruit purchased from a vigneron with holdings at the northern end. Intense black cherry and forest fruit aromas are flecked with hints of violet and a wild-herb savouriness, giving immediate appeal. The palate is powerfully concentrated with seductive, polished tannins, blood orange acidity and a certain saline minerality. Complex notes of pepper and savoury smoke are revealed on the long, persistent finish. A wine to sip, savour and linger over. Drink 2028-2047  

Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru 
£1,158.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

This 3-hectare Grand Cru monopole has been in the Faiveley family since 1874 and, uniquely, has the Faiveley name attached to the appellation itself. Situated on a geological patchwork that includes deep red soils, limestone marl and nearly exposed limestone bedrock, this is the flagship vineyard for Faiveley and unerringly produces fabulous Pinot. With notes of white pepper, nutmeg, fresh red cherries, grenadine and wild raspberries, the 2023 is sprightly, bright and inviting. The concentrated, plush red fruit is seductive and beguiling, almost hiding the latent power of this wine. Silky, mouth-coating tannins and sustaining acidity carry through to a highly satisfying finish. Drink 2028-2055 

Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru
£1,206.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

This cuvée is composed of three separate components, one of which is from bought-in fruit. The core of the wine, however, comes from the two Charmes plots owned by Domaine Faiveley; one on the Morey side of the vineyard, within Mazoyères, and the other below Le Chambertin. A lush expression of Pinot Noir, the 2023 is resplendent with notes of dark Morello cherry, pomegranate, black forest fruits and peppery, savoury smoke. On the palate, the wine is broad and concentrated with plush, velvety tannins and a vibrant line of uplifting acidity running through the whole. Already suave and moreish. Drink 2028-2052 

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
£1,302.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

As a single, 50-hecatare vineyard, Clos de Vougeot commands a significant presence, accounting for just over three quarters of the total vineyard area within the village of Vougeot. Faiveley own 1.2 hectares of this Grand Cru, with their vines located in three different sections of the vineyard. Initially subdued, the 2023 takes time to reveal itself in the glass before showing aromas of vibrant red cherry, mocha oak and savoury, nutmeg spice. Concentrated and powerful, with a muscular, tannic structure, there is no mistaking the Grand Cru pedigree of this wine. Yet there is a deftness of touch that ensures a lingering charm on the long, peppery and silky finish. Drink 2026-2054 

Echézeaux En Orveaux Grand Cru 
£1,302.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

A lieu dit within Grand Cru Echézeaux, En Orveaux spans nearly a full hectare and has very little topsoil above the bedrock, making for a fine-boned, highly graceful style of Pinot Noir. This vintage has a perfumed, floral nose that sees red-toned fruit overlaid with beguiling notes of violet and peony. Lusciously ripe, but still shaped by a characteristic line of crystalline, mineral acidity, this is a very charming wine. Flavours of sun-ripened red cherry and pomegranate are enhanced by delicate hints of nutmeg and savoury smoke. Ripe, suave tannins add a supple, succulent texture to a finish that continues to build. Drink 2027-2048  

Chambertin Clos de Beze
£2,322.00 per 6 bottles IB
(On Allocation)

With a viticultural history that stretches back some fourteen hundred years, Clos de Bèze is a warm vineyard site with fine, deep topsoil that is renowned for producing ripe, concentrated Pinots with considerable capacity for ageing. The 2023 sees an elegant expression of this terroir, with lifted notes of white pepper, sun-ripened raspberries and red cherries. The sweet core of ripe, rounded red fruit is supported by lively acidity, silky, fine-grained tannins and a chalky, stony grip on the finish. Long and poised, this is a wine full of verve and precision. Drink 2028-2050
