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 tannins are linear and direct in this otherwise fruity wine. Along with dark tannins, it is also rich with warm red fruits. The acidity still shows strongly and suggests that the wine needs time. Drink from 2020...

(92 - 94 points) Aromas of cassis, plums, orange rind and spicy new oak preface Faiveley's 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes, a medium to full-bodied, deep and lively wine with a concentrated core of fruit...

(91-93 points) One new barrel in three. Glowing full yellow with light green tints. Peach, nectarine, yellow plum bit also energy and good acidity, finishing on a mineral fresher feel. Long finish here. Look for a...

It’s rare to taste gamay from Moulin-à-Vent and think of Volnay. And, as much as I would praise the beauty and grandeur of this wine, a pure extract of the earth, I wonder what that association with the Côte de Beaune is...

A wine that reveals an ample, outgoing and broad nose that embraces the more opulent side of the 2011 vintage, but also with pronounced whole-cluster fermentation notes of spice, sweet leather and earth. Mouth-filling 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...

From the site’s Chassagne side, Jadot’s 2007 Montrachet smells like an essence of fresh apple and quince laced with brown spices, lily, and narcissus; detonates on the palate with an energetic interplay of fruit, flowers...

A lifted hint of oak toast is faint on the fresh nose of this wine. On the palate, the dense fruit strikes first and takes center stage. This wine brims with ripe, crunchy red-cherry notes, framed and help by firm...

This suave, silky red is very polished and cohesive with its cherry, blackberry and red currant aromas and flavors. The tannins emerge at the end, yet are ripe and refined. Fresh and juicy on the long finish. Best from...

Very ripe, but also very fresh red-cherry nose. Bold and generous, as you expect from Pommard, but with gentle tannins on the medium-to full-bodied palate. Only at the finish do they show a hint of the dryness for which...

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

(90-93 points) A gentle application of wood is present on the slightly riper aromas of acacia blossom, apple, grilled nuts and soft spice nuances. The super-sleek, refined and elegant medium weight flavors possess both...

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...

(91-94 points) There is a hint of kirsch to the exuberantly spicy, elegant and admirably pure nose that also offers up both red and dark pinot fruit scents. There is a sophisticated mouth feel thanks to the very...

91+ In contrast to the grumpy Vieilles Vignes bottling, the 2013 Clos Prieur from the Harmands was very much on form and showing lovely potential at the time of my visit. As reader will recall, this is a blend of a parcel...

91+ The lieu à dit of le Reniard is across the RN74 from aux Etelois (which lies below Griotte and Petite Chapelle on the slope) and has been the home to the Lignier family’s parcels for their Gevrey AC bottling for many...

The Drouhins' village Morey is sourced from the Très Girard lieu-dit. Fermented for the first time with 100% whole bunches in in 2017, this has laudable finesse and perfume, with barely noticeable one-third new wood...
