(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 perfumed red features intense aromas of graphite, violet, raspberry and cherry, picking up earth, iron and oak spice flavors on the palate. This is concentrated and structured, yet remains nimble as it lingers...

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...

Recently replanted from red, so young vines. Mid yellow in colour, with a density to the nose which was missing in the Santenay. Succulent ripe citrus, some orange blossom, but not too lush. Very impressive for young...

Located on the Gamay side of the appellation (village, not variety), the 2023 Saint-Aubin Les Combes 1er Cru has a very pleasant, finely delineated bouquet: hints of yellow plum and grapefruit, a touch of cold steel. The...

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...

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...

A tangy white, offering apple and lime flavors, plus a hint of vanilla. Bright and balanced, with a hint of creaminess in the texture and lingering finish. Charming and expressive. Drink now. - BS

(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...

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.

(91-94 points) Mid lemon yellow. Again this firm style on the nose, typical of the 2023s from Philippe Colin. However, there is intensity and a layer of cream towards the back. This is more complete than the Chaumées...

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...

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...

(91-93 points) Much darker centre to the colour. A sturdy nose, a little ungiving. Plump and robust, showing the proximity of the Pommard border, there is a wealth of fruit here, impressive depth and the right degree of...

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...

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...

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...

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.
