Jacques Capsouto
Domaine Armand Rousseau
Clos St. Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013
Medium ruby garnet , garnet rim . This has a spiced , slightly smoky red cherry , raspberry and rose notes , elegant and perfumed. On the palate this is very refined , with sweet red fruits , raspberry , cherry , light touches of sous bois , velvety tannins and bright acidity . Good density and excellent balance , good saline , mineral edged length . This is really open and aromatic , velvety , and so well balanced ,a model of elegance and purity . This just got better and better with more time in the glass . Drinking well now , though still very fruit forward not showing a lot of development, and I would imagine it will continue well over the next 10 years . — 13 days ago
Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard
Les Fichots Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2022
Another epic Fichots from Girard. Deep deep mid to late season cherry and glorious spice. Wow the fruit in 22 is so aromatically expressive at the moment. Just gorgeous. Stunning palate with deep deep fruit but also those fierce Fichot tannins. Juicy, silky and sweet but structured and epic. Wow the tannins. This needs mega air but this is a monumental Fichots. Tasting today and still a beast but has that absurd 22 fruit. I’d wait a decade at least. — 2 months ago

Andrew Cullimore
No formal notes . This is a youthful colour , straw , light lemon yellow . Took some time to open and benefitted from decanting . Quite mineral with some pure citrus and slightly buttery note . On the palate this shows some round citrus fruits , nice creamy texture but the acidity is vibrant with mineral touches on the finish, really well balanced. Starts to open and change in the glass , young still and will still show well for the next 5-10 years perhaps . This was the best match for most of the courses at Frog by Adam Handling , creative and delicious cuisine I can thoroughly recommend if you are in London. — 10 hours ago
