A combination of old vines and poor soils results in small, concentrated berries, delivering a wine of rich depth, while retaining striking freshness. Generous golden fruits, and hints of beeswax. The wine is fermented and aged on the lees (for 11 months)

Simple Bourgogne Blanc? Not really… the fruit comes from vineyards in St. Aubin (just outside of Puligny-Montrachet), and from Côte Chalonnaise in the south. Luscious, rich Chardonnay with notes of deep melon, savory golden fruit and just a touch of wonde

Clean as a fresh spring stream, with subtle citrus peel, singing acidity, and the classic flint of great Chablis from kimmeridgian soils. The concentration rivals that of some 1er cru wines, thanks to vines between 45 and 70 years old, and 30 months aging

The blend for Hérisson keeps changing, but the juice remains just as good, if not better. A portion of Pinot adds some depth and classical Burgundian elegance to the spritely Gamay. Still light on it’s feet, with juicy red berries, beautiful acidity, and

A beautiful rendition of this increasingly rare appellation. Malo and oak raising lead to a richer style of wine not often found this far north. Beautiful ripe peach fruit, white flowers, and an acid structure still powerful after several years spent in b

Les Charbonnieres is a lieu-dit of old vines nearly 90 years of age. True to form, there is a deeper concentration of dark-fleshed fruit, with spice and earth. Like all the village-level wines from this estate, it sees 10% new oak.

Les Chaumes is situated just south of the famed La Tâche Grand Cru vineyard. Jérôme looks after a tiny 4//10ths of a hectare in this excellent Premiere Cru site. 2005 was a ripe, robust year, making for Burgundies that age particularly well.

“The other white Burgundy grape”, so to speak, is Aligoté. Brighter and lighter than Chardonnay, it’s a slightly friendlier alternative. Edouard Lepesme has been making wine in the humble region of Côtes D’Auxerre, just outside of Chablis, since 2014. The

This village level offering is a reminder of why Burgundies are such celebrated wines: subtlety, structure, elegance…wild cherries, granitic mineral, and a hint of high-toned spice. The tannins will integrate as the wine breathes; patience and a healthy d
