(96+ points) The 2019 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru offers an irresistible mélange of red and black fruit, hints of black tea leaves and bay, all delivered with stunning delineation. The palate is...

(90-92 points) Firm reduction renders an evaluation of the nose impossible at present. Otherwise there is good intensity to the voluminous and expansive flavors that display fine power on the youthfully austere finish...

(91-93 points) This too is sufficiently reduced to mask the underlying fruit, but it seems clear that it is ripe. More interesting are the finer and less powerful though no less concentrated medium weight flavors that...

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur du Roy has also turned out very well in bottle, exhibiting aromas of plums, wild berries, sweet spices, peonies, orange rind and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, it's...

(95-97 points) The 2019 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru has a little more intensity than the Charmes-Chambertin, damp undergrowth, moss, light leafy aromas tincturing the mainly red fruit and developing more and more...

A pretty red, featuring bright, pure cherry, raspberry, rose and spice flavors. This well-structured version is more elegant than powerful, offering a line of chalky tannins for support, with fine earth- and...

The reference standard in Chambertin. This is every bit the equal of the Clos de Bèze, if slightly less approachable young. Blended from four parcels including a cooler section near the southern end and another near the...

(90-92 points) The 2019 Monthélie 1er Cru Les Duresses opens in the glass with scents of peonies, wild berries, dark chocolate and coniferous forest floor. Medium-bodied, lively and concentrated, it's deep and velvety...

A gush of succulent black cherry fruit introduces this effusive red, along with black currant, blackberry, iron and oak spice notes. Dense, yet racy, with an intense, lingering finish of fruit, mineral and spices. Best...

(96-98 points) Heady, rich, crimson purple. The headiness actually is really the nose getting ahead of itself. There is a ripe cherry intensity, flirting with darker notes, but is clearly still in an intense red fruit...

A dense, muscular red, delivering dark cherry and blackberry fruit shaded by mint, tar, toasty oak, earth, iron and tobacco. This has tannins that are present, if covered by the bright fruit and fleshy texture, which...

(95-97 points) The 2019 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, despite a touch of reduction, is seriously complex on the nose with violet-tinged black and blue fruit that are amazingly intense at this early stage. The palate is...

Rousseau Clos de Bèze is a blend of three plots that total 1.42ha. Cyrielle believes the wine shows better in its youth than Chambertin. Both wines, however, are vinified in the same way: destemmed, long maceration...

(92-94 points) Aromas of plums, loamy soil and creamy new oak introduce the 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Goulots, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and elegantly enveloping wine that's deep and precise, with a...

An expressive red hallmarked by dark fruit flavors of black cherry, black currant and plum. Reveals licorice, spice, iron and tobacco notes, which add depth and detail. This combines power and finesse, with an aftertaste...

(92-96 points) From three plots located in Charmes-Chambertin itself. 80% new wood for this cuvée. Solid even purple throughout, a touch of reduction today which does not interfere. Very sensual, this shows grand cru...

A graceful, delineated red, boasting black cherry, plum, iron and earth flavors framed by vanilla and oak spices. Delivering a dense matrix of fine-grained tannins, this is also fresh and focused on the spiced aftertaste...

Perfumed and lush, this red exudes smoky black cherry, blackberry and violet flavors. Reveals iron, sandalwood, leather and spice notes, which add depth as this evolves on the palate. Just a touch hot, with fine length...

A cooler and certainly more restrained nose is also quite ripe while featuring more evident sauvage nuances on the earthy red and blue pinot fruit and cassis scents, all of which is trimmed in discreet wood influence. The...

(95-97 points) The 2019 Vosne-Romanee Les Suchots ler Cru has, as I anticipated given the Premier Cru in question, the most generous and opulent bouquet among Grivot's range, featuring precocious, vivacious red cherries...

The wood treatment is a bit more prominent on the spicy red and dark berry aromas that flash plenty of earth and sauvage nuances. There is a bit more verve to the big-bodied, intense and muscular flavors that exude...

Pure Burgundy goodness from a tiny parcel in this rocky, clay, and limestone site (Clos de la Roche is named after a boulder used by the Celts for rituals), the 2019 Clos De La Roche Grand Cru offers a powerful, ripe, yet...
