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.

Showing a combination of suppleness and power, this red strikes a balance between the dense structure and expressive cherry and raspberry flavors. Built to age, this is fresh on the long, mineral-laced finish. Best from...

A well-spiced and broad-based nose freely offers up notes of forest floor, red and dark currant and evident sauvage character. The tautly muscular and vibrant medium-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality while offering...

Compelling proof of the excellence of the 2017 vintage, this is a very silky and sophisticated Nuits-Saint-Georges with great intensity of sour cherry fruit and delicate spicy notes. Quite soft acidity, but plenty of fine...

Domaine Rousseau owns one-third of the clos, with most of it in the sunniest and warmest spot against the wall. This combines impressive depth and structure with the freshness that you always get in the best wines from...

Bright red cranberry brims with freshness and aroma on the nose of this wine. The palate also presents fresh-faced fruitiness, but here the berry notes are riper, juicier and more reminiscent of berry compote. Firm, fine...

Sometimes overlooked in tastings at Fourrier, this 0.34ha parcel contains vines that were planted in 1930 and 1955. Delicate, smooth and scented, it's a focussed, floral, sweetly defined Pinot that wouldn't look out of...

(95-97 points) This wine carries the négociant label because although the domaine owns 11 ouvrées themselves, this is supplemented by grapes purchased from a further 3.5 ouvrées where they manage the vines. There are 10...

The 2017 Volnay Les Chevrets 1er Cru has an open-knit, well-defined bouquet of brambly red berry fruit and discreet wilted rose petal aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, quite grippy and a little drier than its peers...

The 2017 Monthélie bursts with aromas of spicy red berry fruit, cherries and sweet soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, with a lively core of fruit, fine-boned structure and...

(91-94) Here the wood regimen is no longer subtle though it stops short of masking the beautifully layered aromas of plum, spice, dark currant and freshly turned earth. The highly energetic and delineated middle weight...

With all of its supple black cherry and sweet plum brightness, this lasts on smoky, spicy tannins. It’s powerful, a little syrupy in its ripeness, ready to bring its fruit to roast duck.

From 0.25ha, next to Truffière, replanted in 1956 for the first time since phylloxera. Pale colour with a slight lemon-green tint, the nose offers a small touch of noble reduction. Quite discreet in the front half, then...

A delicate 2017, this is bright and spicy with a cool, earthen bitterness that almost feels old-fashioned in the context of more recent vintages. Pretty strawberry and notes of rhubarb layer over the tannins, their smoke...

The Fourriers are one of only five owners of this superb premier cru, with a 0.89ha parcel that was planted in 1910. This is a wonderfully dense, layered expression of the terroir with flavours of liquorice, plum, black...

Anne Morey is rightly regarded as a white specialist, but she also makes some very enjoyable reds. This aromatic, medium-weight village Monthélie is a case in point, showing subtle, floral, engagingly pretty aromas of...
