Subtle, almost cooling smoke spreads over the red-fruited aromas of this wine. The same subtle game is played on the slender, smooth but toned body, where tart red cherry and berry bathe in distant woodsmoke...

Shows a little more ripeness than some of the other sites in Beaune with ripe strawberries and flowers. Medium to full body, tight and firm structure and a clean and bright finish. Drink after 2022.

(93-96 points) 80% new wood, but entirely destemmed, as Nicolas wants to keep the massive aspect that makes Clos Vougeot a real vin de garde. Dense black colour. Thick texture for the vintage with firm grained tannins...

Mint and sandalwood aromas introduce this taut red, whose cherry, currant and mineral flavors are concentrated and long. It's balanced in its lean way, with a savory finish. Drink now through 2025. 300 cases made, 100...

(90-92 points) The 2017 Aloxe-Corton Les Vercots 1er Cru has a clean and precise, quite floral bouquet with hints of iris petal developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain, saturated tannin, a...

The 2017 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru offers attractive red berry fruit, undergrowth and tea leaf aromas that are very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins, fresh acidity, classic in...

Anne Morey is rightly regarded as a white specialist, but she also makes some very enjoyable reds. This aromatic, medium-weight village Monthélie is a case in point, showing subtle, floral, engagingly pretty aromas of...

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes has an attractive nose of brambly red fruit mixed with freshly tilled earth and light minty aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, brown spices infusing the red...

Pure, evoking black cherry, black currant and floral aromas and flavors. Rich and dense, yet set on a lithe frame, with fine grip to the aftertaste of lingering fruit, mineral and spice. Shows lovely harmony. Best from...

Sandalwood and cardamom aromas signal this cherry and black currant-flavored red. It's sleek and underlined by a graphic element that, along with the vibrant structure, drives the dense, powerful finish. Best from 2023...

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Champs Perrières Vieilles Vignes has one of the more outgoing bouquets that I tasted from Tardy, featuring forward red cherry, raspberry coulis and pressed rose petal aromas. The palate is...

91+ The lieu à dit of le Reniard is across the RN74 from aux Etelois (which lies below Griotte and Petite Chapelle on the slope) and has been the home to the Lignier family’s parcels for their Gevrey AC bottling for many...

(91 - 93 points) From old vines that always produce small berries and low yields—and what is routinely one of the finest wines in the Gelin cellar—the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Prieur unfurls in the glass with...

Very fragrant with effusive, floral notes and some sour cherry. This is a very graceful and filigree wine, in which the tannins show at the end as if suddenly emerging from the depths. In spite of that, the finish is...

(90-92 points) Slightly lighter in colour than his Beaune Epenotes, with just a gentle red fruit nose - but then an absolute explosion of fruit on the palate, with seamless tannins. There is a wonderful finish to this...

The Drouhins' village Morey is sourced from the Très Girard lieu-dit. Fermented for the first time with 100% whole bunches in in 2017, this has laudable finesse and perfume, with barely noticeable one-third new wood...

Highly Recommended. A smoky red, infused with notes of autumn woods and herbs, featuring a core of strawberry and wild cherry flavors. Silky in texture and balanced, ending with a long, tightly wound and minerally finish...
