Nuits-Saint-Georges

2002  Pinot Noir

2021  

Winemaker notes: In planting this vineyard in 2007, we chose two different California Heritage clones, Swan and Calera, to produce a distinct wine that reflects the soil and climate. This Pinot Noir has leagues of depth and aromatic notes of forest floor, cassis, and cinnamon. On the palate, notes of plum, cranberry compote, rosemary, oolong tea and a zesty acidity draw out into a clean perfumed finish. ---- "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Irmgard Pinot Noir soars form the glass with vibrant notes of fresh cranberries, Bing cherries, and red roses, followed by hints of wild strawberries and underbrush. The medium to full-bodied palate is completely filled with vivacious red berries and floral layers, framed by plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and perfumed." - 96pts TWI

2016  Nuits-Saint-Georges

"A spicy and moderately earthy mix is composed by notes of red and dark cherry along with a whiff of oak. There is outstanding richness to the delicious, velvety and impressively complex middle weight plus flavors that are blessed with excellent mid-palate density, all wrapped in a focused, powerful and beautifully persistent finish. This is a pretty blend of Vosne-style spice together with Nuits-style muscle and punch." - 90-93/Outstanding

2019  

Deep ruby color. Good aromatic expression with small black fruits aromas (Blackberries, blackcurrants). Elegance, fresh attack, good balance between roundness and volume. The body is subtly tannic with a fruity elegant finish.

2022  Beaune 1er Cru Les Vignes Franches

"A more elegant and fresher if still decidedly ripe nose combines notes of pretty floral and very pinot scents trimmed in discreet spice wisps. The caressing and markedly finer medium-bodied flavors possess reasonably good density for young vines while delivering solid depth and length on the more structured finale. This is very Beaune in style while retaining good balance. Worth a look." - Outstanding, Burghound

2022  

"An intense bright fresh purple. Quite punchy on the nose, in a good way, and with a certain amount of oak showing on the palate. Good acidity, more than tannins, and a fresh vigorous red berry fruit throughout. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted: October 2023." - 4/5 stars Jasper Morris MW

2022  Volnay 1er Cru Les Aussy

"A discreet but perceptible dollop of wood sets off an equally pretty and even spicier mélange of ripe red berries trimmed in subtle floral nuances, in particular violet. The delicious and wonderfully refined middleweight flavors are quite graceful thanks to the fine-grained tannins supporting the impressively long finale that fans out as it sits on the palate. If this can add depth with time in bottle, my rating may prove to be too conservative." - Outstanding, Burghound
