Tasting Notes
Toast and fireworks. A wild ride of nutty opulence, minerality, and power from a Premier Cru with a view 🧨
Toast. Fireworks. Hilltop Grandeur.
This isn’t just a wine—it’s a full-blown spectacle. Toasted hazelnuts and buttery decadence mingle with rich, smoky flair, before a burst of bright fruit. Grapefruit, lemon, and apricot cuts through like a firework finale. It’s plush, punchy, and utterly unforgettable.

The Plot
Les Gréchons sits at the top of the hill above Ladoix, offering sweeping views of the Côte. The vines thrive in shallow, limestone-rich soils that imbue the wine with signature perfume, elegance, and tension. This plot always expresses itself with layered complexity and impressive minerality.
🍇 Technical
Ludivine took a bolder approach here—a longer, firmer press followed by keeping most of the lees during barrel ageing, because they tasted that good. The result is a wine with incredible texture, depth, and performance that leaves you wanting more.

Oh, this isn’t just a wine. It’s an EXPERIENCE. So outrageously nutty, even a squirrel would be impressed. Think toasted hazelnuts and buttery decadence, wrapped in a rich, creamy texture that puts its Grand Cru neighbours to shame. Then—bam!—a burst of bright fruit cuts through, making it dangerously drinkable. And just like that, the bottle is empty. The only solution? Open another.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
