The 2016 Volnay Carelle Sous La Chapelle 1er Cru is noticeably deeper in colour than its peers. The nose has plenty of quite lush red berry fruit, but it misses the clarity of other Volnays included in this tasting. The...

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

Intense aromas of black cherry, pomegranate and tamarind mark this juicy red. Smooth, with well-integrated tannins lending a dusty feel as the finish plays out. Already harmonious, this should develop well over the next...

(90-92 points) A restrained but softly perfumed nose combines notes of red and dark cherry, spice, plum, sandalwood and a hint of violet. There is a bit more flesh to the equally racy, intense and stony flavors that...

This extraordinary wine has barely evolved since its release. It still shows a very light lemon-yellow colour and youthful notes of lemon, green apple, acacia flowers, mineral and oak spice, all still enveloped in a smoky...

This is savory, boasting sandalwood, cedar and sawdust notes that accent the floral, black cherry, vanilla and toast flavors. A bit firm on the finish, leaving a mouthwatering impression. Best from 2022 through 2033. 375...

The 2016 Pommard 1er Cru les Vignots, which was not touched by frost, has a lifted bouquet with vibrant red berry fruit laced with blueberry and a touch of inkwell. I like the focus and purity here. The palate is...

Macerated cherry and plum flavors are married to a dense structure here, with ample sweetness and a supple texture. The finish is long and echoes the sweet fruit detail and picks up spice notes. Best from 2022 through...

(92-93 points) This is a real Puligny with lemons and cooked apples. Hints of straw and limestone. Full- to medium-bodied, layered and clean. Bright finish. A beauty. Savory and salt at the end. Drink now.

A lean style, with fine concentration to the apple, white peach, lemon zest and baking spice flavors. There is energy and a tactile sensation on the long, hazelnut- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2021 through...

The 2016 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is showing superbly from bottle, unwinding in the glass with a classy bouquet of crisp green apple, pears, almond paste, fresh pastry and Meyer lemon. On the palate, the wine is...
