Morey St Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbes 2007

Gaminess and burly spice on the nose introduce a more masculine, rugged wine but one that nonetheless has true flair and style. The tannins are well handled, fully integrated and there is extra concentration and mid-palate intensity. Drink from 2011. - armit

Bottled. Fragrant in a quiet way. Charming, light, fresh but plays beautifully over the palate to a long delicate finish. Silk. Drink 2011-16 – 17.5 points, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, 28th January 2009

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Fuées 2007

A reknowned 1er cru sandwiched between Les Cras and Bonnes Mares, this Fuées shares many of the trademark mineral qualities of its neighbours but with perhaps a little more style and flair at this stage but with less held back in reserve. This is beautifully balanced, with abundant freshness. Drink from 2011. - armit

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2007

This is another stylish wine, with rich aromas of black fruits, black truffles and a touch of pepper strutting about with confidence. There is more tannin here too and a sense that the volume switch has been turned up a notch. Impressive. Drink from 2013. - armit

Clos St Denis Grand Cru 2007

A great vineyard but with a frustratingly small number of great examples, Pascal has been making a brilliant Clos St Denis for a number of years now and once again it is all lacy elegance up front but with a quiet determination running through it and no lack of flair and dimension. Drink from 2012. - armit

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 2007

Frequently cited, along with the Clos St Jacques in Gevrey, as the vineyard most deserving of elevation, this Amoureuses shares much of the swagger of neighbouring Musigny. This is confident, stylish and totally delectable. Drink from 2012. - armit

£510 per 6 (IB) - add to basket

Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2007

The nose is backward and compact but with dense black fruits and minty freshness. There is crunchiness and tension on the palate, with a sappiness contributing to a lively nature but one which is clearly still in its very early stages of life with a long journey ahead. There is lovely depth of old vine fruit underneath the youthful exuberance. Drink from 2014. - armit

£580 per 6 (IB) - add to basket

Dense and tight. Very juicy bitter cherry flavours. Well done because it is all pleasure though it doesn't give the impression that there is much in reserve. Dry finish but fab fruit beforehand. Drink 2012-17 – 17.5+ points, Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com, 28th January 2009

Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2007

Exuberant, rich and ripe on the nose, this is loaded with black and blue fruits and a soft creaminess but without ever losing vigour and vital freshness. Lurking beneath, there is muscle and presence and a fine, long finish speaks of the quality. This allows a more hedonistic pleasure in its youth or something more serious and intellectual in the fullness of time. Drink from 2014. - armit

£600 per 6 (IB) - add to basket

Bottled. A little spicy and a certain sweetness of oak but not giving much away on the palate. Then a surprise of intense pure, bright cherry fruit on the palate. Tannins give the lightest grip and flavours flow to a long finish but overall very velvety. Drink 2012-18 – 18 points, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, 28th January 2009

2007 vintage report

Dom. Robert Arnoux

In addition, he has had to deal with a big rise in price for the fruit as the market for grapes, largely influenced by the big négociant houses at the volume end has also touched the smaller growers too. For those unfamiliar with these wines, they are produced in exactly the same way as the Domaine wines but come from parcels not owned by the family but instead through longstanding contacts held between Pascal and a few growers in some of the most welllocated and highly desirable vineyards in the Côte.
