(93+ points) The 2014 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots will also require some patience. Revealing a pretty bouquet of wild berries, plum compote and flowers, it's fragrant and delicate on the nose, followed by a medium...

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...

This expressive red delivers pure cherry, stone and smoke aromas and flavors, allied to a lean frame. Firm and succulent, showing fine balance and length. Drink now through 2027. 200 cases imported. — BS

Rich deep purple, there is a fractionally evolved note to the nose but I think this may just be a passage. It makes the fruit seem a bit plummy at first. However there is immense weight on the palate, with firm structure...

The Harmand family’s 2014 Clos Prieur is an excellent wine. As readers will recall, this is a combination of very old vines in the villages section of the vineyard and a portion in the premier cru part. The nose on the...

The Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy Perrière is one of the finest examples of this vineyard to be found in the village, and I really like the profile of the wine in 2014. The very refined bouquet offers up a complex blend of...

Elegant for the appellation, sporting floral, wild strawberry, wild cherry, sandalwood and bay aromas and flavors. A firm line of tannins runs underneath, showing up for the party on the lingering finish. Best from 2019...

Pale colour with some evolution. Jammy strawberry nose, indicating whole bunches, very pretty though. Lovely length here, middleweight plus, lifted strawberry fruit on the palate too and very persistent. Steadily fresher...

A beautiful Volnay with all the richness and generosity you could hope for. Medium to full body, velvety tannins and a juicy, smoky finish. Bright acidity backbone underneath. Drink in 2020.

(89-92) Reduction once again renders the nose unreadable. By contrast there is good freshness, intensity and precision to the delicious flavors where the supporting tannins are actually relatively fine in the context of...

The 2014 Pommard Les Vignots is powerful, sinewy and intense, with notable structure and tannin presently enshrouding the fruit. Although the Vignots is often quite approachable - and frankly delicious young - the 2014 is...

The 2011 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots-les-Milieu comes from a parcel that Lalou’s family had been buying since 1949. It has an extraordinarily pure bouquet with raspberry preserve, wild strawberry, cold stone and cheeky touch...

From old vines planted in a single vineyard, this is a spectacular red. It has the crisp acidity of the cool-climate Sancerre, but it also has the weight and ripeness of a fine Burgundy. The wood aging has left a spicy...

With structure and some firm tannins, this wine is on the dry side. It has black fruits that will develop over time, and certainly show now with a juicy background. The acidity is refreshing even through the solid...
