Ripe dark-cherry flavors run deep in this clean, violet-scented Beaune. There’s some earthiness to the tannins, with an underlying note of fresh mushrooms to complement the firm, juicy flavors of the fruit. The wine’s...

(90-92 points) Note: 2017 will be the last vintage for this wine. his is aromatically similar to the Pommard villages but with a bit more layering. The delicious, plump and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors...

This is surprisingly elegant in the context of what is typical for Vercots with its mélange of ripe yet airy aromas of plum, red raspberry, earth and a vague suggestion of the sauvage. There is excellent volume and...

A tangy red, this features spicy cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and toasty oak flavors. Nicely integrated, with a whisper of dusty tannins lining the finish. This is juicy, with the fruit resonating on the aftertaste...

Well-marked by new oak, this red delivers spicy cherry, raspberry, boysenberry and floral aromas and flavors. Turns sleek and elegant by the finish, with vibrant acidity and fine harmony. Though balanced, this will need...

Quite a contrast with Louis Jadot's Aux Cras bottling, this is altogether lighter, paler and more aromatic, despite facing due south. It's a fragrant, textured, finely balanced Beaune premier cru with a core of scented...

(WA 91-93 points) The stony soils high on the north side of the Montagne de Beaune have produced a bright, tensile wine in the 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de l'Écu Monopole, a medium to full-bodied, supple and suave red...

A slightly more elegant and somewhat higher-toned nose of the essence of red cherry isn't quite as spicy but is even more layered. The refined and almost delicate flavors don't lack for punch and particularly so on the...

Revisited from bottle, the 2017 Aloxe-Corton 1er Les Vercots is showing well, unfurling in the glass with notes of cassis and red berries mingled with sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, muscular and succulent, this...

An attractively spicy nose freely offers up distinctly cool aromas of red and dark cherry, violet and a touch of forest floor character. There is again excellent verve and very good volume to the rich, muscular and...

Dense, with blackberry and plum flavors shaded by iron, earth and spice. Shows broad shoulders and dusty tannins, but plenty of fruit too. Drink now through 2028. 442 cases made, 775 cases imported.

Broad and rich, this red delivers black cherry, blackberry, earth and iron flavors, all framed by sweet spices. Supple and fluid, with a lively feel on the finish. Shows fine harmony and length. Best from 2027 through...

(91-93 points) This too is sufficiently reduced to mask the underlying fruit, but it seems clear that it is ripe. More interesting are the finer and less powerful though no less concentrated medium weight flavors that...

This has the ripe and generous fruit that we expect from this Beaune, but also touches of blood oranges and summer flowers. Succulent red fruit with an excellent structure of fine tannins and lively acidity on the...

A supple red, with core flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum fruit shaded by vanilla, sweet spices and a vegetal note. Firms up, with chalky tannins marking the vibrant finish. Best from 2025 through 2036. - B.S.

The 2020 Pommard Jarollières 1er Cru has a refined bouquet with redcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cedar, quite classic in style. The palate is well-balanced with good depth. There is more black fruit in the mix here...

A domaine wine, Bouchard farms this on their 8.77 acres on the east face of the Corton hill. The hot, dry vintage played into that exposition toward the morning sun, yielding a wine with notes of licorice amped up in...

Packed with fruit as well as rich wood and smoke flavors, this wine is still young but has potential. Ripe berry fruits will come together well as the wine moves into the next stage. Drink from 2023. ROGER VOSS

An unspectacular Beaune masterpiece. Deep nose of red fruit with rooty and coconut complexity. Excellent concentration and a wonderfully fine structure on the very finely contoured, medium-bodied palate. Fantastic balance...

(91-93 points) The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Champs Chevreys 1er Cru, matured in 30% new oak, offers pure red cherries and cranberry fruit on the nose, perhaps more sensual in a way compared to the Les Gravières, with a...

The 2020 Le Corton Grand Cru has an open-knit bouquet, possibly with some stem addition, slightly tertiary red fruit with a light loamy element that emerges with time in the glass. This has real complexity and terroir...

While the nose is compositionally similar to the Bressandes, it's not quite as fresh though it is slightly spicier. There is both good refinement and power to the delicious, delineated and subtly mineral-inflected flavors...

A vibrant, succulent style, this red is laced with pure cherry and raspberry fruit, sporting light accents of earth and mineral. Balanced, with a floral element emerging on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2025 through...

(91-93 points) From Les Plures. Rich full crimson purple, quite plump bouquet if more on the sombre side from this clay rich soil. Lovely on the palate with the right sort of generosity. Crisper at the finish and with...
