- Chardonnay
The vineyard of Les Clous lies close to the top of the slope in Meursault neighbouring onto Les Narvaux and Vireuils, so as you would expect it has the typical notes of Meursault but with good freshness. It has a soft nose with some notes of hazelnuts. On the palate it is fresh yet has some buttery notes, good rounded fruit and it finishes with a long and true aftertaste.
A lovely wine that is brilliant with fish and shellfish, but equally good with poultry.

Vintage report
Burgundy growers will tell you that 2018 was the vintage that reminded them why they fell in love with their vineyards in the first place. A glorious summer of sustained warmth without the punishing heat that can strip freshness from Pinot Noir, followed by cool nights that preserved the acidity. The flowering went smoothly, fruit set was generous, and harvest arrived early but without panic—exactly the sort of classical growing season that becomes rarer each decade.
What landed in the cellars was Burgundy at its most seductive: Pinot Noir with real depth of colour and fruit concentration, yet still dancing on its toes rather than plodding along. The Chardonnays show beautiful ripeness balanced by that crucial mineral backbone, particularly from the better sites in Chablis and the Côte de Beaune. We're drinking these wines now with enormous pleasure—they hit that sweet spot where primary fruit hasn't faded but the tannins have softened into silk. The top cuvées will cellar beautifully for another decade, but frankly, why wait?
