2018 Marsannay En Ouzeloy (BOUV10218A)
Old vines on poor limestone soils give a floral, aromatic intense wine of great energy and lightness, a nicely judged tannic structure and fine mineral finish.
2017 Marsannay En Ouzeloy (BOUV10217A)
Ouzeloy is a little further south on the same strip as the Clos du Roy. The soils are pebbly, and produce a wine with a beautifully angular, ethereal structure, as well as giving a pronounced mineral tone to the ripe black fruit, silky tannins and good length. The whole has seductive freshness and balance.
2013 Marsannay 'Les Longeroies' (BOUV12213A)
Clay soils give a wine of depth and richness. The fruit is pretty, fresh and persistent.
2018 Marsannay Clos du Roy (BOUV18218A)
Clearly the best vineyard in Marsannay, with sandy limestone-rich soils and sixty-year-old-vines, and there is talk of promotion to 1er cru status. An intensely floral red-fruit nose reveals extensive use of whole bunches, and there is a freshening effect from the very fine ripe tannins and chocolatey saline finish.
2018 Gevrey Chambertin La Justice (BOUV24218A)
There is balance and fluidity on all fronts here: rich, dark notes join the raspberry and cherry fruit, and there are fine tannins and an elegant, slightly salty finish.
2017 Gevrey-Chambertin La Justice (BOUV24217A)
Pebble-rich limestone soils give a perfumed, floral wine with charming ripe black fruit, excellent richness and roundness, and a long fine finish.
2016 Gevrey-Chambertin La Justice (BOUV24216A)
Pebble-rich limestone soils give a perfumed, floral wine with charming ripe black fruit, excellent richness and roundness, and a long fine finish.
2015 Gevrey-Chambertin La Justice (BOUV24215A)
Pebble-rich limestone soils give a wine that will, according to Bernard Bouvier, always be accessible whether young or old. 50% whole-bunch fermentation this year, giving a polished, lifted quality that marries well with the forward black fruit, sappy tannins and persistent minerality.
2014 Gevrey-Chambertin La Justice (BOUV24214A)
Pebble-rich limestone soils give a wine that will, according to Bernard Bouvier, always be accessible, whether young or old. It is smooth and rich, with vibrant black fruit of some depth, good finesse and a long saline finish.
2018 Gevrey Chambertin Racine du Temps Très Vieilles Vignes (BOUV28218A)
A surprising thing about Racine du Temps is that it is always drinkable. Another is that 90-year-old vines can produce a wine not only with intensity (which we expect) but full of energy and brightness (which we don’t). It is beautifully elegant and balanced, with clearly defined floral red fruit, lots of fine tannins and a very long black saline finish.
2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Racine Du Temps Très Vieilles Vignes (BOUV28217A)
From three separate parcels in Brochon, just north of Gevrey, in the choice centre of the slope, where there are rich clay soils mixed with limestone. The ninety-year-old vines yield a wine with power, structure and length, accompanied by spicy black fruit. And with all this, it manages a lightness of touch, elegance and purity that make it very special.
2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Racine Du Temps Très Vieilles Vignes (BOUV28216A)
Ninety-year-old vines give enormous intensity and length. This is dense and ripe, with powerful black fruit, a very fine tannic structure and a delicate mineral backbone. It finishes on a juicy soft black fruit note.
2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Racine Du Temps Très Vieilles Vignes (BOUV28215A)
vines of this age can make a wine leaden, especially in a ripe year such as this, but not so here: it is very dense and ripe, but there is a freshness, a lightness and an extraordinary elegance from the very fine tannins which makes it almost ethereal. A very good village indeed.
2013 Vosne-Romanée (BOUV30213A)
Rounded, perfumed fruit that is quite dark, silky in the mouth, fine and long.
2013 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Fontenys (BOUV40213A)
Perfumed, lifted and intense, this poised wine is rounded and silky, bursting with fresh red fruit and mineral heat on the finish. Very elegant indeed.
2012 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Fontenys (BOUV40212A)
