Red

Côtes de Nuits Villages Aux Faulques 2007

This is bright and appealing on the nose with plenty of creamy black fruit but presence and vigour to go with it. Easy drinking style with excellent length, Jean-Marc has once again produced a wine that will appeal to all who savour accessible young Pinot. Drink from release. - armit

(a 1.8 ha monopole in Comblanchien). This is like the Bourgogne in the sense that the classic pinot nose is unusually elegant and pretty for the appellation and while there are certainly notes of earth and underbrush present, they do not dominate the red berry fruit aromas than they typically do. The rich, round and utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors possess an attractive texture and while there is not great depth, this is very easy to like. It should drink well young but also be capable of aging over the medium term. 2013+ - 86-88 points, Allen Meadows' Burghound, Issue 33, January 2009

Sweet, tinned strawberries on the nose and palate. Fresh, juicy, quite light but none the worse for that. Pretty soft but not without form. Drink 2009-11 – 16 points, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, 29th January 2009

Vosne Romanée 2007

A blend of Hautes-Maizières and les Violets, this has a brilliant, glossy appearance in the glass and a fresh, juicy fruit aroma that further builds and intensifies on the palate. Drink from 2010. - armit

(from Hautes Maizières and Les Violettes). A naturally spicy and seductive nose of red pinot fruit leads to rich, supple, forward and delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess an attractive texture and lovely energy that confers an appealing sense of lift to the refined and balanced finish. A quality villages. 2013+ - 87-89 points, Allen Meadows' Burghound, Issue 33, January 2009

Sweet and rich and flattering without quite the race of an absolute classic Vosne but certainly hugely flattering. And not a silly price. Drink 2011-16 – 16.5 points, Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com, 29th January 2009

Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Suchots 2007

An immediate attack of bright cherry fruit is enhanced by liquorice, mint and a touch of mocha. The wine is direct and pure with freshness easy to find but it is the natural balance and the elegance of the finish that impress the most. Drink from 2012. - armit

(from a .29 ha parcel raised in 25% new wood). A similar but more elegant nose that possesses more obvious layers as well as more natural spice elements gives way to supple, round and pure medium-bodied flavors that are textured and quite forward, all wrapped in a balanced, delicious, sappy and vibrant finish. Lovely if not profound. 2013+ - 89-91 points, Allen Meadows' Burghound, Issue 33, January 2009

First impression is sweet oak spice, then some fine, dark fruit. Mouthwatering and moreish, tannins fine-grained and in the background. Drink 2011-16 – 17 points, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, 29th January 2009

Echézeaux Grand Cru 2007

Scents of violet and lavender on the nose show a wine of purity and perfume. There is plenty of scale here and lovely plush textures that lead through to a distinguished and memorable finish. Drink from 2012. - armit

(a 1.05 ha total from parcels in Echézeaux du Dessus, Poulaillères and Clos St. Denis measuring .69, .20 and .16 ha, respectively). A very subtle touch of wood frames elegant, pure and relatively high-toned red berry fruit aromas that offer up notes of Asian spice, clove and anise that are all picked up by the sexy, delicious, mouth coating and sappy medium full flavors blessed with good mid-palate concentration and a precise, powerful and energetic finish. 2013+ - 89-92 points, Allen Meadows' Burghound, Issue 33, January 2009

I can taste a little bit oaky/chestnut flavour here - not really very fine, though still friendly. A domaine to watch though not one that thrills me with its 2007s. Drink 2012-18 – 16.5 points, Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com, 27th January 2009

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2007

Now this is a Clos Vougeot for those who don’t think that the vineyard does elegance! The textures are soft, supple and round with enough to give grip but without ever squaring it up. This is very fine and polished and a pleasure at any stage of its life. Drink from 2012. - armit

(from a .38 ha parcel in Grand Maupertuis). A wonderfully attractive nose of red berry fruit aromas intermingled with intense earth and underbrush notes that continue onto expansive middle weight and supple flavors blessed with a sappy texture that buffers the moderately firm tannins on the intense and persistent finish that displays only a touch of the classic youthful Clos de Vougeot austerity. (90-92)/2014+ - 90-92 points, Allen Meadows' Burghound, Issue 33, January 2009

Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru 2007

There is more drama and more muscle here as the wine is more tightly coiled and less giving than the other Grand crus. It clearly has the most depth and potentially the most fascinating character of the three but today it is a little nervy and requiring further time. With a little more time in barrel, we should witness a brilliant performance full of natural gift and talent. Drink from 2013. - armit

(from a .2 ha parcel immediately below Poulaillères in Echézeaux). A background hint of wood highlights the spicy and layered earthy red berry fruit aromas that dissolve into delicious, powerful and supple flavors that remain impressively focused while delivering excellent finishing length and complexity. This is by no means a blockbuster of a Grands Ech but it’s very pure and will be approachable on the early side, at least by the standards of one of Burgundy’s longest lived grands crus. 2015+ - 91-93 points, Allen Meadows' Burghound, Issue 33, January 2009

2007 vintage report

The more grown up cuvées also went down very well, not only because of their very fair pricing but more especially for their naturalness and their honesty. Jean Marc, who started harvesting on 3rd September, finds the wines elegant, fine and ‘gourmand’ ie moreish and giving plenty of pleasure. At the top level, they are for drinking before the 2006s and 2005s. This is an excellent source.
