(91-94 points) Two plots, of, which one, next to the Clos des Epeneaux, was planted in 1904. The other is also very old. Lighter purple at the edge. This is very classy on the nose, graceful and with detail. Succulent...

(95-97 points) The Millot Echezeaux is predominantly from Echezeaux du Dessus (1949 and 1980 plantings), along with Les Poulaillères and Clos St-Denis. Lovely red crimson colour. Florally detailed, plus a little oak as...

(96-98 points) A glowing fresh purple. Not reduction but just a mineral flinty top note above the fruit. Sitting back on its haunches but this lack of immediacy makes it even finer. All at the back of the palate and then...

Quite a contrast with Louis Jadot's Aux Cras bottling, this is altogether lighter, paler and more aromatic, despite facing due south. It's a fragrant, textured, finely balanced Beaune premier cru with a core of scented...

(90-93 points) A background touch of toasted wood combines with notes of the cool essence of red berries, earth and pretty floral nuances. The delicious and intense bigger-bodied flavors also possess evident minerality...

Fresh cherry, strawberry, earth and tobacco flavors hold court in this silky red. Firms up on the finish, yet stays balanced and lingers. Best from 2021 through 2033.

This is a blend from several Grand Crus on the Corton hill. It is rich and spicy, with great black fruits and solid tannins. A powerful wine, it's shot through with acidity and black-plum fruits throughout the structure...

A pretty red, with perfumes of rose, violet, black currant and blackberry. Silky, offering a solid line of dense tannins and a firm finish. Graphite and toasty oak flavors complete the profile. Fine length. Best from 2028...

Subtle, almost cooling smoke spreads over the red-fruited aromas of this wine. The same subtle game is played on the slender, smooth but toned body, where tart red cherry and berry bathe in distant woodsmoke...

(93-96 points) 80% new wood, but entirely destemmed, as Nicolas wants to keep the massive aspect that makes Clos Vougeot a real vin de garde. Dense black colour. Thick texture for the vintage with firm grained tannins...

Rich and juicy, this red exhibits fresh cherry, blackberry, tobacco and spice flavors. A tightly wound line of tannins trims the finish, yet there's ample fruit. Best from 2027 through 2043. — B.S.

Though vibrant and racy in profile, this red is also concentrated, evoking wild cherry, currant, cinnamon candy, sandalwood and spice flavors. Balanced and persistent, with brisk acidity driving the long aftertaste. Best...

Mint and sandalwood aromas introduce this taut red, whose cherry, currant and mineral flavors are concentrated and long. It's balanced in its lean way, with a savory finish. Drink now through 2025. 300 cases made, 100...

Silky and ethereal, the village Chambolle from Domaine Arlaud is a charming wine, presenting aromas of red and black fruit, earth, spice, and smoke. It is assembled from a hectare of vines from several lieux-dits below...

(93-96 points) From Petit Maupertuis. Rich heady purple. The nose is excellent, with more open fruit than many of the Ponsot 2020s at this stage. Dark but not black fruit, an excellent thread of acidity which marries well...
