Domaine Dubois Bernard & Fils Clos Margot AOP Chorey-lès-Beaune
Clos Margot 2018 is a medium- to full-bodied wine with cola, spices, woody notes with figs and cooked damson fruits. It is concentrated and tightly knit needing some time to open. Decanting with aeration is recommended if it is to be drunk soon. The vineyard is close to the village of Chorey-les-Beaune and is a single plot of 18 “ouvrées” or 0.75 hectares. It was matured in barrels made of oak from the Allier and Vosges forests for 12 months.

Dubois Bernard & Fils Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Ratausses AOP
Red forest fruits, cola and just a hint of leather comprise the nose of 2018 Les Ratausses. This is a medium-bodied wine with a supple palate and lots of spicy fruit flavours. It is smooth with nice depth and a black liquorice finish. Les Ratausses is a one-hectare plot of 50-year-old vines in the southern part of the Savigny-les-Beaune appellation. Made in the same way as the Clos Margot, it is ready for drinking earlier.

Dubois Bernard & Fils Aloxe-Corton Les Brunettes AOP
Tightly wound and not very expressive, 2018 Les Brunettes is well balanced with a firm grippy finish and will benefit from some bottle maturation before drinking. It has restrained aromas of earth and spice which precede a supple concentrated palate. Some red cherry flavours emerge on the finish giving it a delicious freshness. Les Brunettes is a parcel of 80-year-old vines lying on the lower slope close to the village of Aloxe-Corton. Soils are deep and produce powerful wines.
