Jean Tardy & Fils Burgundy

2014 Jean Tardy 'Les Athets' Chambolle Musigny

' “My Chambolle is a bit bigger than most due to the rootstocks and produces powerful, big wine. I have to be very careful with the extraction,” says our host as he pours this next wine. Spot on too, a big powerful nose with just the merest nice touch of sulphide. Palate dripping with bright red fruits and shows great depth and concentration. Framing all of the above is crisp, bright acid, keeping things nice and fresh. Deep-set flavours, lovely tannin profile encased with sweet floral fruit. Just a really lovely Red Burgundy straight off the bat.' – Patrick Walsh, CellarHand

2014 Jean Tardy 'Au Bas du Combe' Nuits-St-Georges

'The 'combe' itself sits right between Vosne and Nuits and the vines in this parcel are around 80 years of age. Guillaume thinks of it as having the elegance of a Vosne with the strength of a Nuits. So Vosne Romanée mouthfeel with NSG tannins. In the glass it simply is sensationally good. A wine that pirouettes on the tightrope between exuberance and restraint.' – Patrick Walsh, CellarHand
