A rich purple in colour. The bouquet does not deliver much as yet but the fruit is so seductive at the front of the palate, though still very unresolved further back with fresher tannins which still need time to integrate. I expect the 2022 Chambertin to have excellent keeping qualities. Drink from 2035-2045+. Tasted: November 2023.Inc. VAT£2,531.54 -

The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has a strict, stony and quite austere nose in the positive sense of that word. There is fruit here—damsons—yet it is tightly coiled and will require time to unfold. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Very well-judged acidity, focused with neatly integrated oak, builds in the mouth towards a seductive but classical finish with hints of cracked black pepper and clove that linger on the aftertaste. Atypical for the vintage insofar as it seems to come from a warmer season. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. VAT£3,159.89 -

The 2017 Pommard Clos Blanc 1er Cru has a clean, precise bouquet of blackberry, briary and wild hedgerow scents, the oak nicely integrated. It’s quite reduced at present, though that should blow off. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy, with supple tannins and touches of white pepper, clove and Chinese five-spice, leading to a harmonious and quite powerful finish. Yes, a bit brutish, but it should improve with bottle age. Closure is Diam 5. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.Inc. VAT£613.49 -

Raised in 30% new wood and 70% 1 year old. Solid purple with medium depth. The nose starts on the oak and soon moves to the fruit. Very succulent again, smoothly balanced with a firm grip to the tannins. Yet it is suavely put together. High class, and it certainly has the length. Tasted: October 2019Inc. VAT£386.66 -

The 2015 Pommard Les Perrières has quite a rich bouquet with touches of fig infusing the kirsch and cassis aromas. The palate is sweet on the entry with bold tannin, moderate complexity with a firm, slightly confit-like finish that needs to muster a little more precision. Not bad, although maybe just picked a day or two too late? Let's see.Inc. VAT£336.80 -

5 Star Wine. From vines planted in 1902. Fine clear mid-purple in colour, this has a very classy nose and some deep sweet rich fruit. Then a fine fresh acidity behind. This is very exciting! Stunning bouquet of dark raspberry and nectarine, so the sunshine is clearly present, but this is gorgeously juicy rather than crass.Inc. VAT£619.44 -

The 2020 Pommard Les Perrières is a cuvée where winemaker Xavier Horiot confessed that in retrospect, he would have liked to pick a week earlier. Granted, the aromatics feel quite high-toned and extroverted, which is not his style, though the palate is fleshy and well-balanced, quite harmonious with sufficient acidity to keep it in balance.
