88 poiunts, Jasper Morris, MW, Inside Burgundy: "The brightest colour of the three, more crimson than ruby. Good red fruit mostly raspberry up front, a surprisingly peppery finish, but the tannins avoid rusticity." Tasted: 12/1/2021
*ALL PRICES IN BOND* 88 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: Darkish sombre crimson. The nose has a gentler red fruit, there is a significant ball of soft red fruit in the mouth, strawberries and a few raspberries, some oak at the back, acidity not especially present, tannins properly ripened.
*All prices in bond* 88-90 pts, 3 stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Brisk lively purple with a much more classy pinot bouquet. Raspberry with cherry in the background and this kicks on as it should, with a generous layer of red fruit at the back of the palate. Slightly dry finish nonetheless. Drink from 2027-2030.
*All prices in bond* 87 - 89 pts 3 stars Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Mid crimson red and paler at the rim. Not much bouquet. The fruit reappears on the palate, but a little astringent behind. Fairly typical village Aloxe. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted: October 2023.
The Premier Cru les Serpentières is located a stone's throw from Savigny-lès-Beaune , on the south-facing slope of the valley which moves away from the Corton hill. The gently sloping terroir, facing south, limestone and very stony, is a setting for Pinot Noir .
91-93 Neal Martin, October 2023 The 2022 Pommard Les Chanlins ler Cru is around 20% whole bunches and 35% new oak.
91-93, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard Les Chaponnieres ler Cru contains 30% whole bunches and was raised in 40% new French oak. The nose offers brambly red fruit, hints of graphite and an endearing sense of Pinote; this is more elegant than the Chanlins.
91-93 ,Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Corton les Renardes Grand Cru is 100% whole bunches and 100% new French oak. It has a superb bouquet - you cannot tell the stems are here at all. Very floral with dried rose petals, a touch of lavender and pure red berry fruit.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard Les Argillieres ler Cru has around 20% whole bunches and 35% new French oak. Parent described this as an understated cru that has a more intense finish. It has a well-defined, very pure bouquet, a mixture of red and blueberry fruit. Fine mineralite.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard La Croix Blanche includes 10% whole bunches on the top of the vat. It has a delightful bouquet; those stems add a slight pepperiness. The 35% new oak is neatly integrated.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard Les Epenots ler Cru is a blend of the separately fermented Petit and Grands Epenots, about 50/50, 40% whole bunches and raised in 50% new French oak. The wood is just covering some of the fruit at the moment, so it will require some time to assimilate fully.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Ladoix La Corvee ler Cru, completely de-stemmed, has a perfumed, violet-tinged bouquet ith a spring in its step. The medium-bodied palate has supple, fine tannins. It is fresh and vibrant, with a keen thread of acidity and a precise finish.
