Vintages

From 2010 to Today

2023

A later cycle, with a warm summer punctuated by occasional storms. The whites captivate with their aromatic intensity, offering bright fruit and a supple texture that can be enjoyed even now.

The reds are more approachable in their youth than those of 2022, expressing fresh fruit and floral notes with silky structure and a generous, gourmand finish. A generous and harmonious vintage.

2022

Marked by very warm, dry conditions, 2022 was a sunny and balanced year that produced exceptionally ripe grapes and an early harvest. The white wines show great concentration, intense aromas of ripe fruit, and a fine, balanced acidity — a superb year for Chardonnay, combining richness and freshness. The reds are rich and refined, with supple tannins bringing elegance, harmony, and structure, promising excellent ageing potential.

2021

Breaking with the previous three vintages, 2021 stands out for its lightness and elegance. Don’t be deceived by its pale hue — behind it lies depth and freshness, with beautiful red fruit aromas.

2020

An exceptional vintage. Favourable weather — a warm, dry summer — allowed the grapes to reach perfect ripeness.
This produced rich, full-bodied wines with a very sunny character.
The reds show silky tannins, great concentration and excellent balance.
The whites are floral and fruity while maintaining a beautiful freshness.
A vintage to lay down to fully enjoy its potential.

2019

An atypical year for Burgundy: small in quantity but outstanding in quality.
Exceptionally concentrated, with well-developed red fruit aromas, silky tannins and remarkable finesse.
One of the best vintages of the decade. The wines are already very pleasant to drink thanks to their perfect maturity.

2018

A year of superlatives. Unprecedented ripeness in living memory.
Astonishing concentration for Burgundy, reminiscent of 2008 but with a fresher fruit profile.
Ideal for long ageing.

2017

A more classic Burgundy vintage. Wines show lovely mineral balance, giving them tension, fine fruit expression and floral nuances.

2016

Between 40 and 50% of the harvest was lost in a single night due to spring frost.
This small crop reached perfect maturity, producing wines of elegance, balance and finesse — both red and white — ready to drink.

2014

A sunny end to the season brought full ripeness worthy of a great year despite a cool start to summer.
The 2014s are revealing their character day by day — complete wines with excellent ageing potential, a true vigneron’s vintage.

2013

Very fine wines, still a little young but showing plenty of fruit.

Our Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Morgeot” red is currently from 2014, highly sought after as always.
As with all Chassagne reds, it shows great elegance and concentration — beginning to open up, but a few more months’ patience will be well rewarded.
This wine earned a star in the 2018 Guide Hachette.

2012

We still offer some 2012 at the request of many clients — very fine, concentrated wines (from a very small harvest), though still a little young. Best kept at least another year.

2011

Somewhat similar to 2010, these are elegant wines with slightly more power.

2010

A special mention for 2010: silky, elegantly oaked, round tannins — a delight to discover.

Before 2010

2009

A truly beautiful year: brilliant garnet-coloured wines, fruity and expressive both on the nose and the palate, full-bodied and rich, with silky tannins. A great vintage with excellent ageing potential.

2008

A winemaker’s vintage. Bright ruby colour with aromas of red and black fruits and a well-integrated oak character. The palate is supple and well-balanced, showing good structure. These wines will reach their full potential after two or three years of ageing.

Santenay “Clos Genet” 2008 received a star in the Guide Hachette this year.

2007

A fine year, offering lovely roundness and silky tannins that accompany the fruit into a harmonious finish.

2006

A graceful year with vibrant colours. The palate is dominated by red fruits — raspberry and blackcurrant — producing gourmand wines with soft tannins. All the 2006s are drinking beautifully now, very pleasant and easy to enjoy.

2005

A great year, with fine colour and, on the palate, still youthful energy. An explosion of red fruit flavours — blackcurrant, cherry, and a hint of liquorice — with impressive length.

2003

A remarkable year, marked by the heatwave. Deep colour, aromas of liquorice and violet, and on the palate, jammy red fruit with round, soft tannins and great length and volume.

2002

A graceful vintage with lovely fruit, smooth tannins, and fine length on the palate.

2001

A refined vintage with subtle aromas and a long finish. Can still age for another five or six years. Pairs beautifully with meat dishes.

2000

A vintage ready to drink now, showing good length. Best decanted for fifteen minutes to fully release its aromas. Can still age four or five more years. “Le Charme” and “Le Comme” are currently at their peak.

1999

The red wines are at their prime — elegant, long on the palate, and capable of ageing another four or five years. Excellent with red meats, game, or cheese.
