A more elegant and spicier nose reflects notes of poached plum, violet and crushed anise. As is almost always the case, the middleweight flavors are both more refined and more mineral-driven if less powerful and muscular...

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...

90+ The 2020 Gevrey villages from Philippe Harmand is really strong this year. The wine delivers a vibrant aromatic constellation of sappy black cherries and dark berries, grilled meats, dark chocolate, woodsmoke, a fine...

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...

(93-96 points) Entirely destemmed in contrast to the Arnaud Mortet label of Lavaux. 70% new wood. A lively glowing purple with a very exuberant nose. Perfume and some fresh oak, typical of the cooler sites which really...

(91-93 points) The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of red and black fruit mixed with truffle and subtle minty aromas that gradually gain intensity in the glass. The palate is...

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Champs Perrières Vieilles Vignes has one of the more outgoing bouquets that I tasted from Tardy, featuring forward red cherry, raspberry coulis and pressed rose petal aromas. The palate is...

(90-92 points) A purer crimson purple with a little more direct fruit on the nose. This is lovely, not too marked by the processing, with an intensity of raspberry, an interesting grainy texture behind, lightly astringent...

The 2020 Mazis-Chambertin from Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy is another simply great bottle in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure, precise and sappy, wafting from the glass in a mix of cassis, sweet blackberries, espresso...

Lush, forward black cherry fruit and hints of rose petals. On the palate, there is a sucrosity typical of Charmes and less alcohol than in 2019. Despite its approachable nature, this is not lacking in structure and should...

(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...

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) 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...

From various vineyards in the centre of the appellation, on both sides of the main road: Platière, Puits de la Baraque, Crais, Charreux, Champerriers. Full deep purple, with a luxurious ripe, but balanced fruit, an extra...

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...

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...

The 2020 Lavaux St. Jacques from Domaine Harmand is a stunning young wine. It delivers a glorious aromatic constellation of black cherries, cassis, grilled meats, complex black minerality, a hint of mustard seed, raw...

The Domaine Harmand 2020 Vieilles Vignes bottling is another excellent young Gevrey in the making. The bouquet here is nicely ripe (but not overripe), bright and focused, as it offers up scents of cassis, black cherries...

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...
