The tannins are linear and direct in this otherwise fruity wine. Along with dark tannins, it is also rich with warm red fruits. The acidity still shows strongly and suggests that the wine needs time. Drink from 2020...

(90-93 points) Half a hectare up against the wall. Fine bright purple, much more sensual than the Nuits-St-Georges Poisets, balanced and delicious, with some tension at the back. This is very stylish, generous and...

(92 - 94 points) The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes (Domaine Gagey) unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with hints of orange rind and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, it's...

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Hauts Doix is showing beautifully, unwinding in the glass with a deep bouquet of black raspberries, exotic spices, dried flowers and incense, mingled with carnal nuances of grilled...

(95 - 97 points) There's an almost unprecedented 400 bottles of Faiveley's 2018 Musigny Grand Cru this year, a tiny cuvée that was vinified with 50% whole cluster. Soaring from the glass with a profound bouquet of...

(90-92 points) The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Chabiots (négoce) wafts from the glass with aromas of peonies, orange oil, sweet red berries and spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and charming, it's lively and...
