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...

(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...

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...

This village Chambolle grows at a lieu-dit bordering Musigny on the hill to the north, where Frédéric Magnien farms vines averaging 50 years old, certified under biodynamics. Between his farming, the aging regimen of used...

(91-94 points) The Georges Lignier plots are scattered throughout Clos de la Roche, mostly in Mochamps and Chabiots. Medium depth of purple. This is cooler, fresher wine, with noticeably more precision, with some wood...

The richness and layers to this are very impressive with a berry, cooked berry, walnut, pie crust and light meat undertone. Medium to full body. Savory and succulent. Rich yet so moreish. Drink or hold.

(91-93 points) This too is quite ripe though retains a better sense of freshness to the mostly dark berry aromas that include nuances of plum, cassis, spice and violet that is also trimmed in enough oak to merit pointing...

This seems grand for a village wine, presenting complex layers of sweet red plum and savory barnyard tones. Then rustic tannins take charge, building their power and shutting the wine down rather than opening it with air...

From various vineyards in the centre of the appellation, on both sides of the main road: Platière, Puits de la Baraque, Crais, Charreux, Champerriers. Full deep purple, with a luxurious ripe, but balanced fruit, an extra...

(90-92 points) A very ripe though still reasonably fresh nose offers up notes of sauvage-inflected dark pinot fruit along with floral, earth and forest floor nuances. There is excellent intensity to the equally sleek and...

A supple, balanced red, this casts a smoky edge to the blackberry and black cherry fruit, along with licorice and toasty oak accents. Firm and long, with a light vegetal element emerging on the finish. Best from 2023...

Bruno Clair is now the only producer with vines on the Morey-St-Denis side of the Grand Cru, owning a total of 1.6ha. Picking started here as early as August 24th in 2018 and the result is apparent in the freshness and...

(95-97 points) The 2018 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru, which comes from the namesake lieu-dit, is one of Véronique Drouhin’s favorite crus and, in her opinion, one of their most consistent. It has a very well-defined bouquet...

(91-93 points) The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of red and black fruit mixed with truffle and subtle minty aromas that gradually gain intensity in the glass. The palate is...

(91-94 points) Medium depth of purple here. Alpine strawberries and fresh raspberries infuse the bouquet. Darker fruit appears in the mouth with an enviably balanced sweetness, which covers the wood and the tannins.

(89--91 points) The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has much more clarity and Gevrey character than the version without SO2; this is much better. The palate is medium-bodied with fine acidity. Crisp and focused, displaying...

Really spicy and decadent with crushed flowers, fruit and some grilled-meat undertones. It’s full-bodied with tight, tensioned tannins that nicely frame the fruit. Reserved yet complex flavors. A thoroughly beautiful...

(94-96+ points) The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges is also showing brilliantly, mingling aromas of dark berry fruit, plums and cherries with nuances of baking chocolate, rich soil tones and subtle...

Supple and packed with cherry and spice flavors, this red is supported by bright acidity and dusty tannins. Hints of wild herbs, tobacco and toasty oak round out the flavor spectrum. It has intensity and fine balance...

(92-96 points) Immense dense purple, almost prune juice. Picked by the vigneron who picks late! 30% whole bunch, maybe saves the day. It is an immensely powerful wine in a very distinct late picked style. Not unbalanced...
