Ce qui est rare en Bourgogne avec 1999, nous avons eu une qualité très bonne associée à la quantité.

GUIDE HACHETTE 2003
Les Corvées 1999 - Gabriel Tortochot's daughter, Chantal Michel, succeeded him in 1996. Les Corvées wine produced by her is very young-looking, with that characteristic violet sparkle. A very evocative taste, dense but well-balanced, suggestive of ripe red fruits. To be put into the category of pleasurable wines.
Chambertin Grand Cru 1999 - Chambertin vintages are linked to memories of Gaby (Gabriel Tortochot). They are a part of our history. A subtle amber hue, with a rolling, fluent nose - just as Gabriel liked his Chambertins to be, as he would tell you if you bumped into him on the Place de la Mairie around election-time. Kirsh almonds, spices, the taste of the wine in one's mouth follows the nose very nicely, with adequate acidity and a long finish.

Lavaux Saint-Jacques Premier Cru 1999 :
Robe rubis aux reflets violets. Nez épanoui et ouvert où la finesse l'emporte sur la densité, offrant un beau fruité. Bouche tendre et élégante aux tanins gras et fondus. Belle longueur en finale. Un premier cru d'une remarquable finesse.
