2010-12
Cornulus ( http://www.cornulus.ch/ )
Gamay Vieilles Vignes Clos des Corbassières, 2009

Syrah (2008?)
Typical Syrah nose, lots of spice, pepper blaubeerige notes. On the palate, very strong, impressive fruit, beautiful to resist Wort. Great structure. Excellently done. 17vvpunkte, 2011-2016 +
Gialdi ( http://www.gialdi.ch/ )
Sassi Grossi 2008
wood very stressed but also mineral nose - typically Sassi Grossi. More red-berry fruits, fresh, lively, very fine tannins. Average structure but with elegance. As always perfectly vinified although no long-distance runner. 5.16 vvpunkte, 2010-2015.
Estro 2007
Very modern nose, very deep. On the palate, lots of fruit, yet fresh, with extremely nice spiciness. The wine lives all in all, but of the fruit. Vvpunkte 16, 2010-2012.
Caves de Chambleau ( http://www.chambleau.ch/ )
Pinot Noir 2009 Pinot
Fruity nose, some Gletscherzältli acts, rather modern. On the palate, fleshy, round with rather low acidity and very smooth tannins. Well done, best drunk young and cool. Vvpunkte 15, 2010-2012.
Pinot Noir Barrique Cuvée Charlotte "2008
depth, fresh Pinot nose, wonderful spicy flavor that is fun. On the palate, lots of red berry fruit, very targeted use of wood, not too little, not too much. Excellent Pinot, straightforward, easy to drink beautifully. Vvpunkte 17, 2010-2015.
Pinot Noir Pur Sang 2007 Pinot
For a very dark color. Deep nose, not as expressive as the cuvée Charlotte, still somewhat restrained. On the palate, with very strong top structure, for my taste a lot of wood and a little too bold but quite impressive for a Pinot. look for those that power. Has reserves (I wonder if the 2008 brings more elegance ...). 16.5 + vvpunkte
Möhr Niggli ( http://www.moehr-niggli.ch/ )
Pinot Noir 2009
Very clear Pinot fruit. Not very deep but extremely fresh on the palate. Cool to drink. Vvpunkte 15, 2010-2012. Pinot Noir Barrique 2008
Beautiful Pinot nose, very fresh and pleasant spiciness. Full, round kick, then fine extract sweetness, something wood and moderately elegant. Does something "made".
vvpunkte 16, 2010-2014.
Pilgrin 2008
This is Pinot! Wonderful nose, spices, red berries, herbs - makes you want a first sip. On the palate, beautifully balanced, not too much of, but precisely crafted - a Pinot sculptured from stone. Pure elegance! Congratulations. 5.17 vvpunkte, 2010-2016 +
