The bright cherry core of this red is framed by smoke, vanilla and saline mineral notes. Vibrant and balanced, backed by dense tannins. The finish evokes dark cherry, plum and spice elements, extended by the lively...

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...

(93-97 points) Excellent glowing mid purple, the nose is very ungiving at the moment. The palate though is exactly what you would expect. A touch of blueberry, the slightly raw silk or serge texture, plenty of muscle...

Lush and harmonious, setting the stage for vivid blackberry and black cherry flavors. Verges on tangy, courtesy of lively acidity, with graphite and spice elements lingering on the extended aftertaste. Best from 2022...

(91-94 points) In barrel, glowing purple of medium depth. There is a very attractive weight of fruit here, in a slightly fuller, riper style, some dark notes impinging on the lively red fruit. Multi-layered and with a...

Lush and smoky, featuring black cherry, plum and earth flavors enmeshed with the grainy texture. Spice and wild herb accents emerge as this winds down on the dusty finish. Best from 2022 through 2035. 648 cases made, 25...

Cherry, currant and wild scrub aromas and flavors mark this sinewy red. Firms up on the finish as much from the vivid acidity as the well-integrated tannins. Best from 2022 through 2033.

A burst of ripe, exuberant cherry and plum flavors is accented by earth and spice notes in this heady red, which brings a touch of heat but would be hard not to enjoy now. Drink now through 2024. 750 cases made, 485 cases...

The super fresh, sour-cherry nose leads you into a very concentrated and focused red with a lot of mineral and graphite character. The tannins are a shade firmer than in the other Grand Crus from Faiveley, but it was...

The 2017 Domaine Chevillon Vaucrains is deep, pure and supremely elegant out of the blocks this year, with the nose offering up a gorgeous aromatic blend of black cherries, pomegranate, dark chocolate, gamebird...

A broad-shouldered, chunky red, this displays black cherry, iron and earth flavors. A bit rustic, with ample fruit and a saturated, black cherry aftertaste. Drink now through 2025. 1,250 cases made, 400 cases imported. — BS

(VN 92-94 points) The 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed and matures in 80% new oak. It has an expressive and aromatic bouquet with pretty blueberry, raspberry and iodine aromas that burst from the...

(VN 90-92 points) The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has the prettiest bouquet among Romain Taupenot’s Village Crus, offering precocious red cherry, crushed strawberry and orange pith aromas. The detailed palate is...

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...

(92-95 points) Good depth of mid purple, the nose is significantly more concentrated here. This fills the mouth in a way that Roncière did not quite. Mostly as ripe red fruit, getting darker, but with good acidity...

Sweet strawberries with fresh flowers and tangerines on the nose. Medium-bodied with round, firm tannins and a spicy, flavorful finish. Very typical for the appellation. Drinkable now, but even better in a couple of years.

The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Plateaux is showing beautifully, bursting from the glass with an inviting bouquet of blackberries, red berries, exotic spices, orange rind and a deft framing of toasty new oak. Medium to...

The Mortets' five parcels here cover 1.2ha in all, and run from the top of the Combe de Lavaux to the bottom, close to the Clos St-Jacques. Fermented without whole bunches, this is another superb red from Arnaud Mortet...

(92-95 points) Fine dense purple. The nose is inky but not yet showing detail. Intense, largely blackcurrant notes on the palate, which may be a touch of reduction. Quite angular, the intensity is there but not the...

(92-95 points) The grapes come from all sectors of their vineyard, vinified with whole bunches and aged in 50% new wood. The cuvée will represent 10,000-12000 bottles. Rich dense purple, all about the fruit and not the...

A bright, floral-edged red, boasting black currant, blueberry and subtle licorice flavors. Firm and well-integrated, this is balanced overall, with chalky tannins and fine length. Best from 2021 through 2033. 100 cases...

(91-94 points) Once again, there is a subtle though not invisible application of wood that still easily allows the airy, cool and restrained aromas of various red berries, and in particular cherry, floral and a mildly...
