Reviews and Ratings

From the fine 2009 vintage comes this beautifully structured Beaune 1er Cru with aromas of intense cherry, raspberry, underbrush and a light toastiness. Dry and structured with a good balance between the fruit, acids and tannins. There is a round and almost sweet centre that brings another intriguing layer to this wine. The finish is long, crisp and fruity. Enjoy this over the next 5 years with roast beef au jus or grilled lamb chops. Source: Vintages Wine Panel

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
