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...

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...

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...

(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...

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...

(92-94 points) A more restrained, and more complex, nose requires aggressive swirling to reveals its aromas of spiced apple, ripe pear compote and cool citrus wisps. Once again there is a gorgeous mouthfeel to the dense...

(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...

Replanted from red, so young vines from 2019. Mid lemon yellow. The same succulent and attractive nose as Sur Lavelle but perhaps just a touch more personality, less citrus, a little verbena. The fruit is very evenly...

(90-93 points) 75% wood and 25% in various types of neutral container. Pale lemon. A fine and classy nose with no wood in evidence, more of a mineral character, but no dominating reduction, just a whisper to add...

(92-94 points) This is also aromatically quite fresh with an airy mix that derives mostly from the red side of the fruit spectrum while being laced with discreet spice, floral and earth wisps. The lilting and utterly...

(92-95 points) This was the only wine in the range to display more than a trace of reduction and even here, the aromas are clearly ripe. There is more volume and power to the tautly muscular medium-bodied flavors that...

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...

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...

(90-92 points) The 2022 Beaune Tuvilains 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet with brambly black fruit, loamy and light iris flower scents. Cohesive and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh, marine-tinged black fruit...

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.

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...

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...

(90-93 points) A cool, elegant and more floral-suffused nose displays notes of essence of pear, spice and a hint of fennel. I very much like the texture of the succulent and caressing medium weight flavors that exude a...

(90-92 points) Always a stalwart, the 2022 Meursault delivers aromas of pear, sweet citrus oil, freshly baked bread and crushed mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and chalky palate with good cut and plenty...
