No punch down, no remontage. Bunches go into tank and that’s it! This is not for the faint hearted. A big Gevrey nose, with lots of red fruit, smoke and spice. Dark and quite modern with bit of stalky character on the palate. Very dark and structured - this will need time to soften up but will be very long lived. 2027-2038 £455 - £535 / 3 BOTTLES RUCHOTTES-CHAMBERTINGRANDCRU Charles has reduced the amount of new oak traditionally usedhere andnowuses fully destemmed fruit.

From his most southern plot, he has reworked the vineyard to create higher canopy for shade to protect the fruit from sun damage. Very different on the nose to his other wines but charming and complex, lots of red fruit, bramble, minerals and leather. Smaller berries giving crunchy red and black fruit. More body here, the finish is long and grippy but still kept well in check by the acidity. 2026-2036 £355 - £420 / 6BOTTLES GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN, 1ERCRULES ESTOURNELLES ST. JACQUES Sadly, volumes are 60% down for this cuvée due to frost. Southern exposure but cool winds keep the vineyard fresh. Gentle red berries and aniseed on nose. Herbs, red brick, cranberry. Palate is fleshy, some dark berries alongside the red fruit here. Good energy, lots of herbs on the palate too. Finish is long, firmand smoky. 2027-2035 £530 - £620 / 6BOTTLES 2027-2035 £370 - £435 / 1 DOUBLEMAGNUM
