This self-confidently dry and well-structured Gevrey-Chambertin has pronounced earthy and savory notes with a hint of soy sauce. It really benefits from some aeration in the glass, the delicate red fruits opening up...

(91-94) This is aromatically interesting, and particularly so for LSJ, as there is an exotic character of dried yellow fruit to the otherwise more typical aromas of earth, humus, game and wild dark berries. There is a...

This suave, silky red is very polished and cohesive with its cherry, blackberry and red currant aromas and flavors. The tannins emerge at the end, yet are ripe and refined. Fresh and juicy on the long finish. Best from...

There are some juicy elements of black cherry in this light-weight red, then the tannins take over. With air, pretty fruit came forward and the elegance came to the forefront. Fine length. Be patient. Best from 2015...

(91-93 points) Planted at the same time as Craipillot, Au Closeau offers a brighter deeper richer purple. This is luxurious but not clumsy, with a little spicy touch, from 50% whole bunch. Works very well here, with a...

Bright fresh red, plenty of energy, this is very promising. Superb quality of fruit on the palate with a mineral crunch behind, boundless energy. This is very exciting and delivers a magical finish. The bouquet keeps...

(94-97 points) Dense purple, some energy, not quite come together yet. This has broad shoulders, the structure I expect of Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin, from ancient vines still in great health. Excellent acidity, this keeps...

The richness and layers to this are very impressive with a berry, cooked berry, walnut, pie crust and light meat undertone. Medium to full body. Savory and succulent. Rich yet so moreish. Drink or hold.

There is just enough wood to merit mentioning framing the ripe and spicy nose of cassis, wild dark berries, plum, humus and a whiff of the sauvage. The supple, round and delicious slightly bigger-bodied flavors possess...

An impressive Gevrey-Chambertain that has so much fruity charm and the gentle tannins underline this very nicely. Thankfully, no attempt was made to make some kind of bold statement. Quite dry finish, but this helps to...

(91-93 points) Aromas of cassis, plums, vanilla pod and orange rind preface the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated wine that...

Quite a fragrant wine for this appellation, which majors in earthy power. Bold sour-cherry and blackberry fruit on the rather generous palate, a well crafted, solid base of tannins underling all the fruit. The two sides...

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Bas is lovely, bursting with aromas of raspberries, sweet spices, licorice and petals, framed by creamy oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's supple and seamless, with...

(93-96 points) In the Mazoyères section. Generous deep, exuberant purple. Heady deep raspberry notes, flamboyant and enticing, peonies too. Very Charmes in its upfront energy but with a bit of Mazoyères minerality behind...

Very fragrant with effusive, floral notes and some sour cherry. This is a very graceful and filigree wine, in which the tannins show at the end as if suddenly emerging from the depths. In spite of that, the finish is...

(94-97 points) Once again moderately prominent wood still allows the overtly spicy and floral-inflected dark currant, black cherry and discreet earth nuances to be appreciated. The mid-palate of the broad-shouldered...

91+ In contrast to the grumpy Vieilles Vignes bottling, the 2013 Clos Prieur from the Harmands was very much on form and showing lovely potential at the time of my visit. As reader will recall, this is a blend of a parcel...
