Burgundy

Alain only has a tiny holding but is producing great wine from it. This has a clean palate with good minerality, leading to a bright, fruity finish.

Biodynamically farmed white Burgundy which is totally brilliant. Pineapple and butter on the nose, the palate is full bodied with a spicy, toasty feel. Black butter and tropical fruits, hints of nut and caramel, maybe even Pecan. This is complex and interesting with a real terroir character.

The 2006 expression is softer and more refinded than the fruit bomb that was 05. Hints of milk and sweet fruit make this a gentle, friendly Chardonnay.

Characterful and complex, I love this Chablis. Great minerality and apply fruits but with a soft palate and lifted nose which has those legendary hints of parmesan cheese. This is a good thing, honest!

The most luscious and powerful of Bessin's wines, this Chablis from a small, 2 hectare vineyard shows complex fruit and a superb acidity

This is how Chabis should be. Divine, mineral, seductive and slightly creamy. Just pure class!

Stunning value smoky Macon villages which really punches above its weight with delicious fruit and toasty, buttery oak elegantly balanced.

From Limestone derived soil, this wine has a grapefruit and citrus character with a stony, chalky depth.

Full, fat and rounded with opulent tropical fruits, this is a classy wine from a classy producer.

A full bodied, nutty Bourgogne, this is a rich treat from a great producer

Star of one of my finest ever food matches, this is full bodied, oaky Meursault at its best, but rich and creamy with toasted butter and delicious hazelnut overtones. And the food.... Turbot with Beurre Blanc. Mmmmmmm

New kid on the block Loichet hits the right note here with a fresh, young wine with a toasty nose, great fruit and well balanced oak.

Vincent is a friend of Paul Jacquesson's and has transformed his family domaine. This is deep and rich with buttery oak balancing bell-clear fruit with a tropical finish

Superlative wine with brilliant minerality from a producer who has come around to the idea that less is more. Perhaps a touch young - will blossom in late 2009.
