Vinous (92)
Good deep red. Slightly roasted red fruits and dried spices on the nose and palate. Sweet, thick and mouthfilling; almost Rhône-like in its ripeness without coming across as heavy. Finishes with noble tannins, excellent length and surprising vinosity.Inc. VAT£1,749.84 -
(6x75cl) 2010Inc. VAT£658.40 -
(6x75cl) 2010Vinous (91)
(these 2010s were bottled in September of 2012): Medium red. Sexy, soil-inflected aromas of raspberry and earth. Smooth, sweet and deep, with lovely juicy acidity and smoky minerality giving lift and shape to the mid-palate. The tannins fade into the fruit on the very pure, persistent finish. Excellent energy here.Inc. VAT£816.80 -
Vinous (92+)
Good bright red. Complex, ripe aromas of raspberry, cherry, iron, minerals, spices, pepper and truffley underbrush. The sweetest, supplest and most refined of these 2011s, offering lovely harmonious acidity to its red fruit, red licorice and mineral flavors. Really coats the mouth and vibrates on the long, firmly tannic finish, which features a late burst of ripe but lively red fruits. Winemaker Yves Confuron says the 2011s here have similar precision to the 2010s but more middle, although he believes that the wines have shut down following the September 2013 bottling.Inc.

(6x75cl) 2012Tim Atkin MW (96)
The fact that Yves Confuron manages to make such impressive wines at this Pommard domaine, while also running his own family estate makes you wonder at his levels of energy. This is typically aromatic and spicy, with evident whole bunch characters on the nose and palate. It's also a very ethereal Pommard, with fine tannins and a focused, mineral finish. The tannins are there, but they support rather than dominate the wine.Inc. VAT£782.44 -
Decanter (94)
Big, bold, ferrous and rich, this is true to the domaine's aim to produce serious, slightly forbidding wines that take a long time to soften in bottle. Blood, iron and a butcher's shop full of guts and fresh meat, this needs a decade but will reward your patience.Inc. VAT£970.32 -
Vinous (87-90)
Very good dark red. Reduced aromas of redcurrant and mocha. Rich and savory, with lively red fruit flavors complicated by spicy and meaty nuances. This nicely dense wine really spreads out to coat the palate. Finishes with dusty, late-arriving tannins and very good length.Inc. VAT£765.20
