Laurent set about to catapult these wines into the stratosphere and after sweeping up at the IWC 2020 awards for their incredible 2019s, one could argue, they may have reached space itself! They were in fact the biggest winner at the awards, picking up 8 trophies, Red Winemaker of the Year (for the wonderful Christophe Briotet), as well as 15 gold, 30 silver and 7 bronze medals. Safe to say, club members lapped up last year’s allocations and the staff too have been enjoying Laurent’s wines throughout the year. It is with great pleasure therefore that I can offer these brilliant wines. Best vintage yet? We certainly wouldn’t bet against it…
Every cuvée is treated individually, without a set formula for quantity of new oak, or amount of whole bunches used, which allows each wine to offer a true and deeply satisfying expression of the individual terroirs and vintage. What we have is absolutely everything we love about Burgundy. A real sense of place.
Drinking window: 2027 - 2035
What the critics say:
"Two barrels made, mostly on the Charmes side, all destemmed, with one new barrel. Mid crimson colour. A somewhat perfumed nose, albeit partly the vanilla from the barrel speaking. Middleweight, some wood tannins, lacks a little bit of heart. The tannins leave the finish slightly dry but I think all will resolve. Drink from 2027-2034."
