Notes of black-currant liqueur and preserved black plum are accented with violet petal in this rich and rounded yet sharply balanced Pinot Noir. It's a deeply concentrated, almost meaty sip marked by hints of licorice and...

This self-confidently dry and well-structured Gevrey-Chambertin has pronounced earthy and savory notes with a hint of soy sauce. It really benefits from some aeration in the glass, the delicate red fruits opening up...

(94-97 points) Dense purple, some energy, not quite come together yet. This has broad shoulders, the structure I expect of Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin, from ancient vines still in great health. Excellent acidity, this keeps...

The very subtle, forest-berry nose pulls you into this concentrated and moderately rich wine with fine, chalky tannins and a long, graceful finish that makes you wonder why this appellation isn’t much more famous! Drink...

Rich and gamey nose, of the kind that gets real Burgundy freaks very excited. Iron, smoke and earth in its soul. With aeration it develops wonderful, super-ripe sour-cherry fruit. Then comes the massive structure of the...

(91 - 93 points) The 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains (Maison Louis Jadot) has turned out especially well this year. Revealing notes of cherries, cassis, rich spices and smoke, it's medium to full-bodied...

(91-94) This is aromatically interesting, and particularly so for LSJ, as there is an exotic character of dried yellow fruit to the otherwise more typical aromas of earth, humus, game and wild dark berries. There is a...

The tannins are linear and direct in this otherwise fruity wine. Along with dark tannins, it is also rich with warm red fruits. The acidity still shows strongly and suggests that the wine needs time. Drink from 2020...

(91-93 points) Planted at the same time as Craipillot, Au Closeau offers a brighter deeper richer purple. This is luxurious but not clumsy, with a little spicy touch, from 50% whole bunch. Works very well here, with a...

There are some juicy elements of black cherry in this light-weight red, then the tannins take over. With air, pretty fruit came forward and the elegance came to the forefront. Fine length. Be patient. Best from 2015...

This suave, silky red is very polished and cohesive with its cherry, blackberry and red currant aromas and flavors. The tannins emerge at the end, yet are ripe and refined. Fresh and juicy on the long finish. Best from...

Pure and elegant, this enticing red draws you in with fresh cherry, raspberry, floral and spice aromas and flavors. Lithe and beautifully defined, picking up details of mineral and black pepper as this winds down...

Seuvrées lies just below Mazoyères-Chambertin at the border between Gevrey and Morey, where Frédéric Magnien tends 60-year-old vines, his farming certified biodynamic since 2015. The site produced a muscular, grippingly...

The Drouhins' parcel is located behind the château in the Clos de Vougeot and has produced a firm, rich, powerful wine in 2018 with plenty of colour, flavour and extract. Aged in 80% new oak, it has impressive perfume...

The expansive nose of fresh black cherry and dry earth leads you into this very compact and concentrated Gevrey-Chambertin, which has the scale and gravitas of a Grand Cru, as well as massive tannin structure. This...

A bright, well-defined red, this showcases cherry, raspberry and currant flavors shaded by earth and spice accents. Slim and fused to a taut structure, this is underlined by a ray of stony minerality. Overall, this has a...

Rich and gamey nose, of the kind that gets real Burgundy freaks very excited. Iron, smoke and earth in its soul. With aeration it develops wonderful, super-ripe sour-cherry fruit. Then comes the massive structure of the...
