This amazing Morgon has incredibly deep roots, but is also a flower reaching out towards the sun. Breathtaking mineral brilliance and energy on the medium-bodied palate. This embodies the spirit of Beaujolais in an...

The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent Très Vieille Vigne Les Caves has an open, delineated bouquet with cassis, blackcurrant and a subtle marine scent emerging with time. The palate is harmonious, silky smooth and a little edgier than...

92+ The 2023 Morgon Cuvée Château-Gaillard, crafted from partially destemmed fruit, presents a full-bodied profile with notes of black cherry, prune, licorice and pine. The wine’s power is evident, with layered...

The 2023 Fleurie Poncié opens on the palate with vibrant notes of lilacs, lavender, sweet soil, candied plums and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, the wine features tangy acidity that enhances the satiny fruit with a tart...

A more sauvage influence suffuses the nose of poached plum, spicy red currant and newly turned earth. The rich, delicious and caressing medium weight flavors flash evident minerality that continues onto the bitter pit...

The lively acidity and touch of blood-orange character keep this youthful but balanced pinot noir very bright and focused on the medium-bodied palate. Really long, velvety finish with excellent earthy depth. From...

The 2023 Morgon opens on the nose with a signature Lapierre vibrancy, revealing fragrant lavender, crushed petals and vanilla. Layers of ripe raspberries, licorice and blueberries emerge, accompanied by a subtle wave of...

(90-92 points) A slightly fresher nose is otherwise really quite similar to that of the Suchots. The velvet and seductively textured medium weight flavors possess both a bit more volume and a caressing mouthfeel, all...

The 2023 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Les Femelottes is picked four days later than the Rue de Bois cuvée. This inevitably has more complexity, being located adjacent to the Puligny appellation. Green apple, flint and dewy meadow...

(90-93 points) 75% wood and 25% in various types of neutral container. Pale lemon. A fine and classy nose with no wood in evidence, more of a mineral character, but no dominating reduction, just a whisper to add...

(92-94 points) This is also aromatically quite fresh with an airy mix that derives mostly from the red side of the fruit spectrum while being laced with discreet spice, floral and earth wisps. The lilting and utterly...

(91-94 points) Mid lemon yellow. Again this firm style on the nose, typical of the 2023s from Philippe Colin. However, there is intensity and a layer of cream towards the back. This is more complete than the Chaumées...

(91-93 points) The 2023 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaumonts reveals aromas of sweet berry fruits, spices and toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and penetrating palate. With good depth and purity, it...

This white is ripe, evoking yellow flower, mirabelle plum and preserved lemon flavors kissed by vanilla. This is intense and offers staying power on the long, spicy aftertaste. Shows excellent balance and length. Drink...

Aromas of lemon peel, white flowers and struck match lead to a high-tension, racy and elusive palate. This has saline, minerals and citrus with a nervy finish. One of the best village-level sites, Les Narvaux punches well...

(90-92 points) The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Champ clearly has more fruit intensity than the regular village cuvée. It contains finely delineated raspberry, wild strawberry and crushed stone aromas. The palate is...

(94-96 points) Fresh pale lemon and lime. The bouquet is classy, refined and restrained. Pure white fruit and flowers. Much more finesse than En Remilly this year, with a caressing elegance that never looks weak. A lovely...

(90-91 points) Lemon and lime colour. The bouquet shows a tangy but ripe fruit, crisp grape skins with a concentration of ripe apples behind. Nicely balanced, typical of the appellation and with good length. 10 and 60...

The 2023 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from the Pernot family, from vines situated on the Pernand side. This is very aromatic and complex on the nose, with white flowers infusing yellow fruit, hints of brioche and...

The 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé Sur La Roche 1er Cru has a more immediate nose than the Aux Charmes, soaring with yellow plum, fern and light smoky notes with time. It conveys a sense of classicism. The palate is beautifully...

Pale lemon, with a cool reflective chiselled nose. This does not fully reflect the density of fruit on the palate, an ideal ripeness because there is still a little lime within the ripe orchard fruit, quite floral towards...

(94-96 points) The 2023 Richebourg Grand Cru is textural and concentrated, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, orange zest, rose petals and exotic spices. Full-bodied, broad and creamy, with a fleshy...

(90-91 points) 10 plots representing three of their 8.5ha. Deep purple with a lighter rim. A darker, denser fruit, less explosive than the Bourgogne. A few blackcurrants and bilberries, not quite squeezed till the pips...

(91-93 points) Like Les Forges, the wood shows in the plumper nose, there being one new 500 barrel out of two, though Cras tends to be more aquiline. Very much a limestone feel to the nose as well, following up on the...
