Beautifully expressive of its Avize terroir, with additional complexity from post-disgorgement ageing, all elements married into a harmonious blend of chalk, citrus, apples and nuts.

Marries weight and elegance, lovely mealy Meursault typicity, expressive, seamless, nice tropical edge to the ripe fruit, modern and pure in style, good precision, freshness and balance, touch of salty oak and a hint of vanilla, very good intensity and length. Excellent lieu-dit.

Screwcap, 14% ABV. Solid Chardonnay, well put together, not a lot of terroir typicity but impeccably made, everything in place, well balanced and seamless, leesy complexity, good but not excessive weight, ripe acidity but a mineral core, good length.

“To whet the palate.” Attractive tout court, nice balance and freshness, cranberry and red cherry, vibrant skin tannins, hint of earth, good length. Has aged well.

Seductive and modern style, floral lift, ripe fruit and a touch of spicy oak, the balance is fine, with freshness and juicy skin phenolics, complete finish, good persistence. Ripe and lively, very moreish.

Vibrant structure but reticent and a bit tired on the nose initially, opens up very well after decanting, nice ripeness, rosehip and forest floor, iron minerality, good length.

Mature and rounded, lovely sweetness and juicy freshness, forest floor and a touch of spice, mature and lively, harmonious, vestiges of tannic grip, good length. A wonderful surprise.

Half bottle. Honeyed, rich and fresh, citrus and subtle bitters, spiced apple, fully mature, good length.

Incredible freshness and minerality, so youthful and vibrant, flowers and ripe citrus, hint of honeyed ripeness, has lovely line and length. A beauty.

Mature and rich vintage port, elegant and sweet, red berries and nuts, mild tannins, soft but fresh acidity, polished tannins, has real charme and finesse, lovely length. One of the outstanding 1994 vintage ports.
