His expansive portfolio offers a transparent expression of the Côte d'Or's diverse terroirs, from village-level wines to Grand Crus.

Planted in the 1980s and in the early 2000s. Terroir: Meursault Les Pontots, east-facing, low on the slope, clay-rich, deep soil.

Jasper Morris:

The nose is a little oakier than the regular version, three barrels with one new for fermentation. Also some spice from the barrel. The wine has an additional density. Much weightier in all departments so makes a grander statement, but that should in no way denigrate the excellent bottled version. Remarkably long finish. The drink dates reflect the magnum format. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Oct 2025.""
