A domaine wine, Bouchard farms this on their 8.77 acres on the east face of the Corton hill. The hot, dry vintage played into that exposition toward the morning sun, yielding a wine with notes of licorice amped up in...

Moderate wood surrounds the brooding liqueur-like aromas of red and dark currant, plum and a whiff of the sauvage. However, unlike the prior wines the wood can also be found on the mid-palate of the round, succulent and...

95+ More reserved than the Echézeaux, Cheurlin's 2018 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru exhibits deep aromas of cherries, cassis and sweet berries complemented by hints of burning embers, espresso roast, black truffle and...

Moderate wood is present on the notably ripe but pretty and even airy aromas of mostly red and dark currant that are sprinkled with floral and spice hints. The supple middle weight flavors are supported by firm and...

(90-93 points) A slightly more generous dash of wood influence can be found on the liqueur-like aromas of plum, cherry, spice and newly turned earth. There is fine delineation to the large-scaled and equally muscular...

Pure cherry is the calling card of this juicy, linear red. Currant, strawberry and oak spice play supporting roles, backed by vibrant acidity. Fruit and spice persist on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 1,200 cases...

The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a complex, complete bouquet with dark berry fruit, touches of 5-spice and a hint of balsamic. Controlled opulence. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins...

This is certainly one of the more concentrated Volnays of the vintage, but the richness and plummy, mulberry fruity concentration is balanced by some freshness and spice from 30% whole bunches. The acidity comes through...

A mentholated top note is present on the notably spicy aromas of poached plum, black raspberry and warm earth. Once again, the palate impression of the medium weight flavors is supple and pliant yet there is good...

While the nose is compositionally similar to the Bressandes, it's not quite as fresh though it is slightly spicier. There is both good refinement and power to the delicious, delineated and subtly mineral-inflected flavors...

The Roty holding is in the lower part of Mazis-Chambertin, next to Dugat-Py. Rich imperial dark purple, this has a wonderful intensity of very dark yet balanced fruit with a crisp minerality, and such a heavenly...

Perfumed and pure, exuding vivid cherry, strawberry, rose, sandalwood and mineral flavors. Despite its charm and elegant profile, this has well-integrated acidity and tannins. Balanced and long, with a chalky feel...

Fragrant, fluid and seductive for the silky texture, with cherry, floral, sandalwood and oak spice aromas and flavors. Well-structured yet deftly balanced, this feels effortless and graceful overall. Reveals licorice and...

Fine bright and deepish purple. Very little nose to start with. Then a fine body of plump fruit on the plate, more weight and density than the village wines, the finish holds up nicely and good length. A little bit of...

(89-91 points) The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Crapiots 1er Cru just misses the precision of the En Champs, coming across a little broody with a subtle briny influence. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins...

Moderate wood surrounds the brooding liqueur-like aromas of red and dark currant, plum and a whiff of the sauvage. However, unlike the prior wines the wood can also be found on the mid-palate of the round, succulent and...

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru has a beautifully defined nose of vivid red berry fruit infused with wilted rose petals and peony. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, and so harmonious that...

Gentle red-fruit notes have the slightest sheen of vanilla on this wine's nose. The palate offers the full-fruited intensity of ripe cherry, propelled by vivid freshness. A touch of heat and mocha play on the finish. —...
