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...

(91-93 points) The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Poisets is the sophomore release and was planted in the mid-Thirties. This is one cuvee where I felt there were signs of over-ripeness on the nose, a touch smudged compared...

(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...

(90-93 points) Pungent aromas of wood and reduction lead to almost painfully intense middle weight flavors that also possess an appealing texture that is at once rich and nicely detailed, all wrapped in lingering finish...

(90-92 points) Here too the reduction is dense enough to hide the fruit. Otherwise, there is a caressing but punchy mouthfeel to the detailed and refined middle weight flavors that exude plenty of minerality on the mildly...

(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...

Ripe plummy fruit accented with notes of spice from the oak ageing and a hint of flowers. With its rich and luxurious texture this should be a boon to those looking for a quality Morey at a good price. Made from purchased...

(92+ points) The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Champs-Chenys Vieilles Vignes is the most serious of Roty's lieu-dit bottlings, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet cherries, blackberries, spices, licorice and rose petal...

(96-98 points) The 2020 Clos de Tart Grand Cru contains around 55% whole bunch this year with 65% new oak. It has a very limpid hue in the glass. The bouquet takes time to open but my word, it is beautiful...

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...

(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...

(96-98 points) The 2020 Clos de Tart Grand Cru contains around 55% whole bunch this year with 65% new oak. It has a very limpid hue in the glass. The bouquet takes time to open but my word, it is beautiful...

Though this red is oaky, there's also a whole-cluster feel to it, with sandalwood and vegetal aromas synching with flavors of black currant and blackberry. Iron and sweet baking spices chime in as this plays out on the...

(94-97 points) 50% whole bunch vinification and 60% new wood. A denser purple here, an explosion of ripe wild dark fruits, a little chocolate note, dark fruit all the way through, just enough acidity, certainly long and...

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...

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes has turned out especially well, to the extent that it's the best rendition of this cuvée that I can remember tasting chez Dugat-Py. Wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries...

Subtle but perceptible wood influence can be found on the spicier still and more elegant aromas of purple fruit, truffle and pretty floral wisps. There is excellent verve to the intense, and intensely stony, flavors that...

(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...

(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...
