Though vibrant and racy in profile, this red is also concentrated, evoking wild cherry, currant, cinnamon candy, sandalwood and spice flavors. Balanced and persistent, with brisk acidity driving the long aftertaste. Best...

I love the black nose - licorice, violet and elderberry - of this impressive Nuits-Saint-Georges. Impressive ripeness and substance for the challenging vintage. The ample fine tannins are already very well integrated...

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...

This perfumed version features aromas and flavors of rose, wild strawberry, cherry, green olive, sandalwood, oak spice and incense. Offering a yin-yang of airiness and structure, this is linear, verging on racy. The silky...

Rousseau's Charmes is the first grand cru tasted in the cellar. The emphasis here is on the purity of fruit and silky expression rather than the lush density of some growers. There is a hint of spice to the ripe, ethereal...

(92-95 points) Some of the domaine’s Clos Vougeot is often sold as grapes, but they have kept most of it in 2021. Quite a dense purple. The bouquet is solid and sombre, no whole bunches. A dark berry fruit on the nose...

(90-92 points) A purer crimson purple with a little more direct fruit on the nose. This is lovely, not too marked by the processing, with an intensity of raspberry, an interesting grainy texture behind, lightly astringent...

(92-94 points) he 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs comes from parcels in the north of the appellation with 30% whole bunches. Very impressive intensity on the nose, this is well-defined, crushed stone and citrus...

Exhibiting rose, cherry, wild strawberry, sandalwood and oak spice flavors, this tangy, fragrant red tightens up as it builds to the long, mineral-tinged finish, with refined tannins. Sleek and intense. Best from 2027...

Bursting with aromas of plums, orange zest and petals, Coche's 2021 Auxey-Duresses is medium-bodied, supple and lively, with a suave, melting profile that will be hard to resist on release.

This stands out from the moment you bring the glass up to your nose thanks to the profound earthiness that comes from the Grand Cru Hengst site. With aeration aromas of orange zest and bitter chocolate develop. Imposing...

This is a wine of true elegance, with a light ruby hue, bright, perfumed cherry fruit, fresh acidity, and tannins that seem slightly astringent. It is light in weight but very expressive. The wine is produced from a...

Here the expressive nose offers up a similar fruit profile but is even spicier and earthier. The gorgeously textured medium-bodied flavors possess surprisingly good power on the dusty, youthfully austere and sneaky long...

Wild cherry, currant, hibiscus, sandalwood, mineral and oak spice aromas and flavors signal this supple, graceful red, which is well-delineated, complex and compelling. Shows terrific harmony and length. Best from 2028...

(91-94 points) A more elegant, and slightly cooler, nose reflects notes of just picked cherries, exotic tea and hints of anise and clove. There is more weight and punch to the bigger and more powerful flavors that also...

Lafon left his vines in Les Duresses until last in 2021 to get the ripest possible grapes. In the end, he lost two-thirds to the combination of frost and rain. The colour of the wine was fairly light, and the initial...

The 2021 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru continues to impress. Lighter in hue than the 2019 served alongside, it has a lovely nose, the 80% whole-bunch imparting a patina of herbaceousness, damp forest floor, that marries...

Boasts generous ripe cherry, currant, sweet spice, wood smoke and underbrush aromas and flavors. Juicy and balanced, with a long, complex and spicy aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2040. 29 cases imported.
