75-year-old vines. 1.5 ha in total.
Real complexity on the nose. Mossy and autumnal. But relatively light and fresh and fruity on the palate. Because the wine is quite light, the acidity seems quite marked. Racy and easy on the palate, although I expect it will take on weight. (JR)

Normally eight barrels produced; in 2012 they made three and a half. Coopers must have sold many feuillettes in 2012.
Muscular chestnut nose. Really quite rich for a 2011 and yet supple. Approaching richness, anyway, though low key. Very good for a 2011; a little muted overall. Trademark richness. Very clean and pure. He wanted to make wines for gourmandise and regrets that no English word exists. (JR)

Dom Ballot-Millot, Perrières Premier Cru 2011 Meursault
Quite meaty and full. Polished, dense and accomplished. It grows on the finish. It's not the best Perrières of the year but it is very good. (JR)

Dom Daniel et Martine Barraud, La Roche 2011 Mâcon-Vergisson
Rich and also smoky. Lots of energy here. Doesn't really taste like Mâcon (much more concentrated) though it has a honey character. Chewy mineral finish suggests a relatively long life. (JR)

Fine and tight and restrained. This should be really rather glorious eventually. Exciting but definitely Pouilly-Fuissé rather than Côte d'Or. (Nothing wrong with that!) (JR)

DOMAINE GHISLAINE BARTHOD
Dom Ghislaine Barthod 2011 Bourgogne
Mid crimson. Lots there. You really wouldn't be surprised to learn that this was a Chambolle. As usual this is a banker of the vintage – if the term banker has not become too demonised. Well done – great structure. (JR)
