Goedhuis, December 2023
The elder statesmen in the village very much consider this fine vineyard a Premier Cru equivalent. It is only due to a quirk of history and appellational bureaucracy that it isn’t. A wine of great poise and class, all the components are so well integrated. Stylish flavours of mandarin and grapefruit. Alive and energetic, with some rewarding lively acidity and pistachio flavours which give a lift of sweetness on the finish. Lovely.

Jasper Morris MW, October 2023, Score: 90-92
Jean-Philippe is having to do a lot of individual vine replanting here. Clear pale lemon and lime, showing finesse on the nose, softly approachable, good clear lemon notes behind. Not quite the intensity of its heyday perhaps, but still some energy though and decent length. Drink from 2028-2036.

This has got to be the most well organised cellar in the Côte de Beaune. Jean-Philippe’s attention to detail in his winery is a good indication of his handling of fruit, and goes some way to explaining the precise and distinct characteristics found in his wines each possessing their own unique timbre.

This has got to be the most well organised cellar in the Côte de Beaune. Jean-Philippe’s attention to detail in his winery is a good indication of his handling of fruit, and goes some way to explaining the precise and distinct characteristics found in his wines each possessing their own unique timbre. These wines are made with great care and patience, and all enjoy 12 months in barrel (he tends to use larger 600 litre demi-muids rather than the traditional 228 litre pièces) followed by a further 6 months on fine lees in tank. His painstaking attention to detail is demonstrated in his wines, which are pure and seamless. Though most of his wines are only village lieux dits, they could easily be mistaken for premiers crus.Read less
Region
Meursault
Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
