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...

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...

(91 - 93 points) From old vines that always produce small berries and low yields—and what is routinely one of the finest wines in the Gelin cellar—the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Prieur unfurls in the glass with...

91+ The lieu à dit of le Reniard is across the RN74 from aux Etelois (which lies below Griotte and Petite Chapelle on the slope) and has been the home to the Lignier family’s parcels for their Gevrey AC bottling for many...

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...

(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...

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...

(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...

A massive wine with black fruit and an imposing structure, plenty of depth, and impressive persistence on the palate. Although this is muscular, it is perfectly balanced. The Mazoyères from Dugat-Py is unlike any other...

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...

(92-94 points) A deft application of wood frames ripe, pure and airy aromas that are classic Gevrey with a broad array of floral, wild red berry fruit, earth, humus and a hint of the sauvage. The broad-shouldered and...

(BH91-94 points) Here too the cassis, violet, plus and earth aromas are distinctly cool and elegant. There is excellent richness and volume to the impressively well-concentrated medium-bodied flavors that exude ample...

Offering up aromas of cherries, sweet berries, petals, vine smoke and spices, the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless, its fleshy core of fruit underpinned by sweet tannins...

Additional élevage has brought a further degree of elegance to the 2020 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru that I didn't perceive last year. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, incense, licorice, forest floor and...
