The wonderful red-cherry fruit with hints of redcurrant and blackcurrant pulls you into this very expressive wine. For all the ripeness, the really striking thing about this is the great vitality, the way it leaps and...

The 2020 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru, half aged in 400-litre oak barrels, has a rather straightforward nose considering the vineyard in question, although it opens with aeration. The oak here is a little obtrusive. The...

This white starts out rich, turning leaner and focused on the finish, with vanilla, butterscotch, apple tart and lemon flavors that ride a vibrant structure. Shows fine length. Drink now through 2026. - BS

Another notable success is the 2020 Fleurie Poncié, a medium to full-bodied, elegant and lively wine evocative of cherries, red berries and rose petals. Structurally refined and charming, it concludes with an expansive...

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...

Elegant and intense, boasting violet, black currant, black cherry, mineral and spice aromas and flavors. Open-knit, yet with light grip on the finish, this should develop nicely over the medium term. Features fine harmony...

The vines are located in the upper part, turning towards Vaulorent. More green than yellow in the colour, very concentrated, very backward. Solid and weighty, not yet showing the detail. But length, and some fresh apricot...

(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...

(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...

Coche produced six barrels of the beautiful 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Caillerets from this seldom-seen climat on the northern side of Meursault. Wafting from the glass with scents of white flowers, crisp green orchard...

(93-95 points) Picked on 26th August, 12.9% alcohol, 4.50TA and 3.25pH. One of the lighter, cooler colours, a very discreet bouquet, then it starts to build really well. So beautifully poised on the palate, exactly the...

(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...

Clean, revealing a stony mineral element underneath lemon, apple and baking spice flavors. Balanced on a linear profile, this persists on the lemony finish. Drink now through 2027. - BS

(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...

A bright, floral-scented red, this is delicate, silky and expressive, offering black cherry, black currant and violet notes. Gains support from firm tannins and chalky elements as this builds to a long, expansive...

(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...
