|
| |
| BH 92-94 (4/2021): A markedly floral-suffused nose blends red and dark currant scents with those of a plethora of spice and earth elements. There is impressive volume to the caressing but solidly punchy and powerful middle weight plus flavors that possess better depth and superb length. Excellent and very much built-to-age. Drink 2034+ |

| |
| WA 94 (5/2011): The 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St.-Jacques opens with sweet, floral notes that meld into spices and dark red fruits. Textured and enveloping throughout, the Lavaux St. Jacques impresses for the sheer pleasure it provides. The finish remains a bit taut, but in another few years this should be a gem. It is a dazzling wine from Claude Dugat. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028. |

| BH 90-92 (1/2020): This too is quite firmly reduced and aromatically unreadable at present. More interesting are the sleek, vibrant and delineated middle weight flavors that display good salinity on the firm but balanced finale that betrays only a touch of rusticity. Drink 2028+. |

Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Chaumes |
$525 |

|
| |
WA 90 (6/2010): Like most of the premier crus in this collection, 50% new wood was employed here and it’s a tribute to the wine, Lachaux, or tonnelier Stephane Chassin – perhaps to all collectively – that there isn’t any overt woodiness in evidence. The deeper, more clay-rich soils in this site vis-a-vis most of his others is, opines Lachaux’s, the reason for a slightly more rustic tanninity in his 2008 Vosne Romanee Les Chaumes. Ripe purple plum and blackberry are allied to alkaline and overtly chalky elements and shadowed by their distilled counterparts. Despite this wine’s prominent tannins, an unexpected sweetness and mouth-watering savor wells-up in its seriously sustained finish, convincing me that this will be worth cellaring for a few years and is likely to deliver fascination up to at least age 8. That said, one will need to bear in mind the tannins and overt minerality in pairing it, and those not enamored of Pinot’s dark side or of unapologetic tannins will be less impressed than am I.
VM 90 (4/2011): Deep red with ruby tones. Complex aromas of dark berries, flowers and spices, complemented by sweet oak and lifted by a peppery nuance. Not a fleshy wine but juicy, firm and aromatic, with lovely balancing acidity giving the wine vibrancy. Not the last word in concentration but finishes with sweet tannins and very good length. Pascal Lachaux noted that in most of his premier and grand crus, he made more wine in 2008 than in either 2009 or 2007.
BH 89-92 (1/2010): A more complex and, not surprisingly, notably spicier nose of layered red and blue pinot fruit with plum and violet nuances that complement well the rich, full and concentrated medium-bodied flavors that are on the somber side today before culminating in a firmer and more obviously structured finish that delivers excellent length. This should improve for up to a decade. Drink 2016+. Sweet Spot Outstanding! |

BH 90-93 (1/2011): A classic Vosne nose of airy and spicy blackberry fruit serves as an elegant introduction for the rich, full-bodied and generous middle weight flavors blessed with ample mid-palate concentration and the sap further serves to completely buffer the firm tannins on the impressively persistent finish. This is both seductive and impeccably well-balanced. Drink 2017+. Outstanding!
VM 90-93 (2/2011): Bright, deep red. Enticing aromas of raspberry, flowers and chocolatey oak. Sweet and silky but nicely delineated and firmly built, showing more concentration and energy than the examples from Nuits-Saint-Georges. In fact, this stains the palate on the firmly tannic back end. Has the backbone for a graceful evolution in bottle. Stephen Tanzer. |

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques |
$385 |

|
| |
WA 92-94 (1/2023): Pure and complete, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques exhibits aromas of sweet red berries, potpourri, blood orange, spices and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, seamless and fleshy palate, its deep core of fruit framed by sweet, velvety tannins. This shows terrific potential.
BH 92-94 (1/2023): Here too the expressive nose of the essence of red currant and forest floor is cool, airy and very, very floral in character. I very much like the sophisticated texture of the stony and beautifully delineated middleweight flavors that deliver fine length on the austere, serious and linear bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. This presently isn't as complex as the Cazetiers though that obviously may well change over time. (Drink starting 2033)
VM 93-95 (1/2023): The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a tight-fisted and recalcitrant bouquet, quite tertiary, white pepper notes emanate from the 40% whole bunches. The palate is medium-bodied with chiselled tannins, fresh and tensile with wild strawberry, marmalade and crushed stone notes on the finish. Bon vin. Neal Martin. |

| |
| VM 92 (12/2023): The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has a lot of reduction on the nose, and the wood is far less integrated than the others in the flight. It certainly doesn't hold a torch to Rousseau's Cazetiers. The palate is medium-bodied, with a firm structure, good backbone and commendable sapidity. It is a bit backward and doesn't have the complexity of its peers toward the finish. Again, there is a touch of reduction. It may well find its groove with continued aeration, but I will be prudent with my score for now. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin. |

Pommard 1er Cru Croix Noires |
$99.99 |

|
| |
BH 89-92 (4/2018): An expressive nose speaks of essence of raspberry, earth, sauvage and a hint of wood. The dense super-ripe flavors brim with dry extract that coats the palate and imparts a velvety mouth feel to the mocha, bitter cherry pit and slightly warm finale. This muscular and mildly rustic effort is a very ripe 2016 yet the overall impression is one of freshness and energy.
VM 89-92 (1/2018): Good dark red. Very ripe scents of dark raspberry and chocolate. Quite powerful but youthfully bound-up, with the impression of chocolatey richness carrying through the palate. Finishes with big but fine-grained tannins and a serious structure. Perhaps a bit overconcentrated but not out of whack. This wine will clearly need time in bottle to absorb some of its baby fat. Stephen Tanzer. |

Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens |
$159.99 |

|
| |
BH 91 (4/2019): This is aromatically quite similar to the Fremiers if ever-so-slightly fresher and also flashes a background note of oak influence. The dense, powerful and super-rich mineral-driven big-bodied flavors possess first-rate levels of dry extract while delivering fine length on the mocha-inflected, bitter cherry pit and noticeably warm finish. This is certainly impressive in its fashion but it's somewhat particular in the context of the vintage.
VM 93-95 (1/2018): Bright medium ruby. Vibrant nose combines blackberry, boysenberry, kirsch, violet, minerals and chocolate. Dense, fine-grained and light on its feet, offering uncanny intensity and penetration to its juicy dark berry and mineral flavors. This graceful, vibrant Rugiens finishes with substantial broad, dusty tannins, harmonious acidity and slow-building length. A real live wire, particularly for a wine made from grapes picked in October. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 92 (4/2019): A rich bouquet of smoky blackberries, cassis, cloves and cinnamon introduce the 2016 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens, a dense, saturated wine that's full-bodied, broad and powerful, with an ample chassis of rich, chewy tannins, excellent concentration, ripe acids and a long, lusty finish. Of all of Confuron's wines at Domaine de Courcel this year, the Rugiens is the most generously endowed with fruit and flesh, though its assertive structure is still very prominent. |

|
| |
| BH 90 (4/2022): An exuberantly spicy and not quite as ripe nose blends slightly fresher notes of raspberry, black cherry and exotic tea. The wonderfully vibrant middle weight plus flavors brim with both dry extract and minerality on the palate drenching, very firm and moderately austere finish where a similar level of warmth slowly emerges. This bitter chocolate-inflected effort should age well but it's necessary to be tolerant of noticeable warmth. |

|
| |
| BH 90-93 (1/2020): (from a huge 3.96 ha parcel.) This is very Gevrey in character with plenty of sauvage, freshly turned earth, forest floor and brooding wild dark berry and cassis scents. There is fine richness to the concentrated, powerful and full-bodied flavors that exhibit a subtle minerality on the moderately austere and impressively long and slightly grippy finale. Drink 2030+. Outstanding! |

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses
ETA Q1 2025 |
$599 |
3 |
|
| |
| BH 92-94 (1/2024): A more elegant and markedly spicier nose freely reveals its overtly floral aromas of the essence of red pinot fruit and plum scents. The sleek, vibrant and beautifully textured middleweight flavors flash an almost pungent minerality on the complex, balanced and strikingly long finale. It's often qualitatively close between the Amoureuses and BM but in 2022, the Amoureuses is clearly the better of the two wines. We will see in time as the Bertheau BM always ages extremely well but at present, this is the more interesting wine. Drink 2030+. |

Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots |
$450 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 91 (11/2011): Attractively expressive red and black fruit aromas are trimmed in subtle earth and spice nuances where both continue onto the sweet and discreetly complex moderately full flavors that are firm, focused and admirably persistent while exhibiting both ample Nuits and Vosne character yet there is virtually no rusticity on the firm, long and palate staining finish. This is really quite lovely and while I would personally hold this for another 5 years or so, the solidly well-concentrated mid-palate will allow this to develop gracefully over the next 10+ years. Try from 2016+. |

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras |
$995 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 91-93 (1/2016): (from a 1.75 ha parcel of vines averaging 35 to 40 years of age.) Firm reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background though it does seem ripe. There is more volume and certainly more punch to the overtly stony medium weight flavors that possess outstanding delineation before terminating in a youthfully austere, saline, focused and relatively power finish that offers impressive persistence. Textbook Les Cras. Drink 2024+. Outstanding! |

Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussiere Bin-Soiled Label |
$399 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 91 (1/2014): (a monopole of the domaine) A high-toned and attractively layered nose mixes notes of red and black cherry with earth and humus nuances. There is excellent detail and punch to the equally mineral-tinged medium-bodied flavors that possess relatively refined tannins that are notably finer than usual, all wrapped in a harmonious and solidly persistent finish. I like the fruit/acid balance and this should age well over the medium-term. Drink 2019+. Outstanding! |

Volnay 1er Cru Les Chevrets ex-Domaine |
$99.99 |
13 |
|
| |
BH 92 (4/2024): (from 25+ year old vines.) A soft application of wood can be found on the ripe liqueur-like nose of dark raspberry, cassis and anise. There is a bit more volume to the beautifully textured and seductively rich medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a sleek, focused and sneaky long finish where a touch of bitter pit fruit character slowly emerges. Lovely in a riper yet fresh and balanced style. Drink 2030+. Outstanding!
VM 92-94 (1/2024): The 2022 Volnay Les Chevrets 1er Cru is a classic Boillot wine. It bursts from the glass with racy red/purplish fruit. Lavender, rose petal, cinnamon and new leather are all beautifully delineated. There’s a touch of new oak, but it suits the style here quite well. Neal Martin. |

Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds |
$89 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 87-90 (4/2016): An extremely subtle application of wood sets off the exuberantly fresh aromas of red currant, pomegranate, lilac and discreet spice nuances. There is a really lovely intensity to the pure and restrained middle weight flavors that seem to be built on a firm base of minerality, all wrapped in an austere and mildly dry finish. I like the delivery but the balance isn't ideal and it's not completely clear if this will harmonize in time but I have my doubts. |

Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs |
$199 |

|

VM 94 (3/2016): Healthy dark red. Highly complex but youthfully restrained nose offers scents of black fruits, violet, chocolate, menthol and minerals, along with some faintly liqueur-like high tones. Boasts Outstanding density of texture, not to mention great lift and power for this bottling, with almost exotic fruit ripeness leavened by strong acidity. Finishes with spectacular lingering perfume of violet, bitter chocolate, wild herbs and mint. An amazingly strong, bulletproof Volnay for the year--or for any vintage, for that matter. Stephen Tanzer.
WS 93 (5/2016): This red offers well-defined cherry, currant and spice flavors, supported by vibrant acidity. Saturated with pure, ripe cherry fruit midpalate, this firms up, yet remains balanced and mouthwatering on the long finish, showing spice and chalk accents. Best from 2018 through 2030. 95 cases imported.
WA 92-94 (12/2014): The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs has that citrus-like freshness; that Seville orange marmalade trait that was tangible in a range of mature Clos des Ducs tasted the previous week. There are touches of violet that emerge with continued aeration. The palate is very feminine and refined, laid back almost, but that distracts from the structure underneath and the persistence and minerality on the finish. This is a regal, perhaps one should say, "ducal," Clos des Ducs that should drink beautifully over the next 25-30 years. But as I discovered at the vertical, this vineyard needs several years in the cellar.
BH 91-94 (4/2015): (a monopole that measures 2.15 ha.) A gorgeously fresh melange of black raspberry, cherry, tea, violets and anise scents introduces superbly well-detailed middle weight flavors that seem to be built on a base of firm minerality that continues onto the dusty, complex and strikingly persistent finish. As is often the case, this is the most complete wine in the range. Drink 2023+. Sweet Spot Outstanding! |

Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Chaumes |
$275 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 90-92 (1/2016): Once again there is a discreet but not invisible application of wood setting off the very Vosne-like nose of Asian-style tea, sandalwood, violet, dark berry and a lovely mix of spice elements. The spiciness continues onto the supple and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a delicious and lingering finish. This isn't as concentrated as the Boudots and it's not quite as structured either but it is certainly pretty and should drink well sooner. |

| WA 89 (11/2014): Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. There is a little reduction to bypass on the nose, although underneath this Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Clos des Réas appears to be some attractive cranberry and blackberry/briar scents, with fine tension and nicely integrated oak. The palate is crisp, lithe and silky in the mouth, commencing in harmonious fashion, but becoming a tad hard toward the finish. I am certain that bottle age will tenderize this Vosne-Romanée, but it seems sulky at the moment. I remain optimistic that it will repay 5-6 years in the cellar. |

Beaune 1er Cru Les Greves |
$145 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 91-94 (4/2023): A more deeply pitched though still equally fresh nose more grudgingly displays its aromas of spice, violet, dark currant and newly turned earth. There is excellent vibrancy to the more concentrated and muscular larger-scaled flavors that still manage to remain relatively refined thanks to the dense but fine tannins shaping the strikingly long, balanced, compact and quite serious finale. This beauty of a Grèves is potentially outstanding and should age accordingly. |

| |
| VM 93 (3/2006): Good deep red-ruby color. Black fruits, violet and pepper on the nose, with a suggestion of oak spice. Large-scaled, lush and vinous, with full but juicy flavors of dark berries and violet. This, too, boasts lovely restrained sweetness. A wine of huge phenolic material, with the dusty tannins coating the entire palate. Here's a 2003 that calls for a good decade of aging and may well evolve in bottle for 20 years or more. Stephen Tanzer. |

JD 98 (11/2021): The 2018 Volnay 1er Clos Du Chateau Des Ducs is more expressive and showy right out of the gate and has a complex, sexy, incredibly impressive style that's a joy to drink. Ripe cherries, mulberries, rose petals, Asian spices, dried herbs, and incense all emerge from this beauty, and it's as seamless and layered as they come, with ripe, velvety tannins, no hard edges, medium to full body, and flawless balance. It's already drinking nicely yet will cruise for 20+ years in cold cellars.
VM 92 (11/2022): The 2018 Volnay Clos du Château des Ducs 1er Cru has a little more transparency and elegance on the nose compared to its peers, brambly red fruit with a touch of sous-bois and tobacco leaf. The palate is well-defined with fine tannins. A crisp line of acidity imparts tension with more sapidity than its peers. Harmonious, fine weight in the mouth with a Pommard-like grip on the finish, this is a finely crafted, commendable Volnay, one that defies the negative tropes of the vintage. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting. Neal Martin. |

| VM 90 (5/2022): The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with dark cherry and cassis fruit, pressed violets coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, ripe red fruit, good depth, Vosne-like with touches of dark chocolate and tobacco on the finish. Give this chap two or three years in bottle. Neal Martin. |

|
| |
| BH 90-93 (1/2024): ( from a .40 ha holding of 65+ year old vines.) This beauty is even more floral-suffused with its array of black raspberry, spice and soft wood nuances. The plush, even seductively textured flavors possess a bit more size, weight and power if not quite the same minerality on the complex, balanced and sneaky long finish. This is sufficiently structured to repay a decade plus of keeping yet it could be approached after only 4 to 5 years. Drink 2032+. Outstanding! |

|
| |
| BH 91-94 (1/2024): (from a 1.80 ha holding.) Moderate reduction masks everything but traces of wood and spice. More interesting are the vibrant and super-fresh medium-bodied flavors that possess fine mid-palate density while concluding in a firm, serious and impeccably well-balanced finale where touches of minerality and rusticity slowly emerges. This is also very promising. Drink 2034+. Outstanding! |

| BH 92-94 (1/2024): (a .93 ha monopole of the domaine.) An elegant, perfumed and softly spicy nose is comprised mostly by notes of poached plum, black raspberry and a wisp of exotic tea. The succulent and caressing medium weight flavors possess both better density as well as a more refined mouthfeel thanks to the fine-grained tannins supporting the impressively long, balanced and complex finale. This is excellent and recommended. Drink 2032+. Sweet Spot Outstanding! |

The super-sleek and even more refined if notably less powerful middleweight flavors conclude in an impressively long and youthfully austere finale. This could use more depth but that should just be a matter of patience. Drink 2030+. |

Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers |
$399 |

|
| |
WA 91-93 (1/2023): More structured than the Aux Thorey, the 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers opens in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, spices, cassis and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with powdery structuring tannins that assert themselves on the finish, it will require more patience.
BH 91-93 (1/2023): Here the nose is so spicy that blind, it could pass for a Vosne 1er with its aromas of exotic tea, plum and dark berries. The rich, concentrated and solidly powerful medium-bodied flavors terminate in a robust and muscular finish that delivers excellent persistence. This moderately austere effort is going to require at least some patience.
VM 94-96 (1/2023): The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru showed more reduction on the nose compared to the Aux Thorey, although intuition tells me that with age there will be more fruit intensity here. The palate is fresh and tensile on the entry, again, beautifully sculpted tannins, saline and almost sorbet-like towards the finish that fans out beautifully. This will be quite awesome. Neal Martin. |

| VM 88 (11/2022): The 2018 Volnay Clos de Verseuil 1er Cru has a slightly stewed nose, just a hint of VA but nothing too bad. Blackcurrant pastilles. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a touch of spice on the entry, though it never attains the complexity of a serious Volnay Premier Cru. Just a hint of dryness on the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting. Neal Martin. |

This will be approachable young while being able to reward up to a decade of cellaring. |

WA 89 (7/2015): Tasted at the Comte Liger-Belair vertical at the Château de Vosne. The 2002 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots was a little smudged and reductive on the nose, developing savoury and dried meat notes with time. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin on the entry, good weight but missing the tension and precision that subsequent vintage will bring. Tasted June 2015.
BH 92 (1/2005): Curiously, the nose is quite ripe but slightly austere with an airy, pure and superbly elegant breadth of aromas that leads to punchy flavors are full-bodied, rich and delicious with more prominent acidity and a powerful, indeed even explosive finish. The structure is buried and completely buffered by all of the sappy extract and there is an appealing minerality on the extremely persistent finish. This is very classy juice that presently displays a subtle hint of finishing wood. |

| BH 91 (6/2022): A reserved nose requires vigorous swirling to reveal its array of cool, pure and nicely complex red and dark berries, earth, spice and a pretty floral whiff. There is an attractive mouthfeel to the sleek and nicely vibrant medium weight flavors that manage to retain good definition on the dusty, moderately warm and sneaky long finale. This youthfully austere effort should repay mid-term cellaring though it's not so tightly wound that it couldn't be enjoyed after only 2 to 4 years. Drink 2031+. |

WA 92-94 (6/2007): Alluring scents of ripe purple plum, black currant, clove, and star anise mark Jadot’s 2005 Vosne-Romanee Beaux Monts. Smoked and roasted meat flavors ally themselves to dark fruits and exotic spices on the palate, with subtle hints of caramel and vanilla from the oak accenting rather than intruding. This displays a warmer, more obviously rich and opulent character than many young 2005 Vosnes and than nearly any other 2005s from Jadot. Deep, fat folds of fruit persist with spices and low-toned roasted meat into an imposingly long, sumptuous finish. One could enjoy this soon if it does not close up, but it certainly has the concentration and potential to reward at least five years’ patience.
BH 91-93 (4/2007): This is very Vosne on the nose with an expansively spicy and expressive black fruit nose that complements perfectly the rich, full and sweet medium-bodied flavors that are lush and suave on the round, powerful and intense finish that displays impressive length on the mineral suffused finish. A really fine effort that should repay at least a decade of cellaring. Drink 2015+.
VM 90-92 (4/2007): Good ruby-red. Very ripe but brooding aromas of dark berries, bitter chocolate and licorice, with a minty, medicinal element. Dense, sweet and suave, with an enticing, subtle sweetness, good lift and a layered texture. Finishes with chewy tannins and excellent length. - By the way, Lardiere is high on the 2004 version of this bottling. |

| BH 91-93 (4/2015): Generous if not dominate wood fights somewhat with the otherwise ultra-pure and fresh aromas of distilled red pinot fruit, earth, spice, floral and underbrush nuances. There is really lovely detail to the wonderfully refined and equally pure medium-bodied flavors that seem to be built on a base of firm minerality that really comes to the fore on the dusty and tension-filled finale. This too is a textbook example. |

| BH 92-94 (4/2023): A brooding but equally fresh nose reluctantly offers up is cool aromas of essence of red currant, forest floor and humus-inflected earth. The sleek, intense and beautifully detailed medium-bodied flavors display focused power and an abundance of minerality on the austere, firm and complex finish that just goes on and on. This is compact but really quite stylish and like the Vaucrains, this too is textbook Les St. Georges. |
