98+ The 2023 Pinot Noir DuMOL Estate Vineyard is a real head-turner, just as it was in barrel. Dark, sumptuous fruit, leather, incense, tobacco, dried herbs and graphite open first, buffered by brisk acids and beams of...

(94+ points) The 2023 Pinot Noir Zéphirine unfolds dramatically in the glass; flint, pipe tobacco, damp earth and mushroom give way to pure blackberry and black cherry as it opens. The full-bodied palate is powerfully...

(92-95 points) This was the only wine in the range to display more than a trace of reduction and even here, the aromas are clearly ripe. There is more volume and power to the tautly muscular medium-bodied flavors that...

(90-92 points) The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes is lovely, wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries, orange zest, spices and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy...
