I like the savory olive notes here, with peppercorns and salted almonds amongst the red berry fruit. Some nutmeg. Creamy and layered on the palate, with a medium body and silky yet very present tannins. Powerful fruit...

An attractively spicy nose freely offers up distinctly cool aromas of red and dark cherry, violet and a touch of forest floor character. There is again excellent verve and very good volume to the rich, muscular and...

(92-95 points) An ultra-fresh and attractively spicy nose blends the essence of red cherry and raspberry with those of earth and floral wisps. The cool, intense and almost crisp middleweight flavors possess terrific...

This has an attractive nose of wild raspberries, red currants, flowers, nutmeg and a hint of cinnamon stick. Excellent flavor concentration on the palate with rich fruit and spices combined with very fine and precise...

The 2021 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was bottled in July 2023. It has much more intensity than the La Forge, though there remains a bit of new oak to be subsumed at the moment. The medium-bodied palate has fine depth and...

90+ The 2021 old vine bottling of Nuits St. Georges was showing beautifully at the time of my visit. The wine delivers a beautiful bouquet of red and black cherries, gamebird, dark soil tones, a touch of nutskin...

Plenty of red fruit character here, plus notes of wet earth, blood orange and violets. Excellent concentration for 2022 with beautifully integrated fine tannins, the fresh acidity helping to drive the long, delicately...

(90-91 points) A clean mid purple. The bouquet is delicious, floral with both raspberry and strawberry. Really very good depth and with persistence, with barely a tannin in sight, a refreshing, accessible Roty wine. Drink...

(91-92 points) Sensual and perfumed, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes offers up aromas of dark berries, cherries, petals, raw cocoa and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping...

Wild cherry, currant, sandalwood, smoke and earth notes are defined by lively acidity and refined tannins in this intense red. Accents of smoke and roasted game bird add to the complexity, while the texture is silky and...

A suave, vibrant red hallmarked by haunting scents of rose, wild strawberry, raspberry, sandalwood and graphite. Linear and bordering on racy, thanks to the vivid acidity, with refined tannins. Silky and balanced, this...

Taut and sinewy, with cherry, raspberry, menthol and oak spice aromas and flavors under the grip of dense, dusty tannins. The fruit and supple texture still need to emerge and balance the tannins. Best from 2026 through...

(92-95 points) Some of the domaine’s Clos Vougeot is often sold as grapes, but they have kept most of it in 2021. Quite a dense purple. The bouquet is solid and sombre, no whole bunches. A dark berry fruit on the nose...

(90-93 points) Mid purple. Rather a lovely nose, with cherries and raspberries with a small touch of strawberry mixed in. The palate provides a depth of sweet red fruit, with some length. Very attractive though I would...
