VM 89 (1/2018): Bright medium red. Lively perfume of raspberry, blood orange and flowers. Very pretty, leanish wine with excellent intensity and definition to its flavors of red fruits and flowers. This delightful Bourgogne includes a lot of Beaune villages and premier cru fruit, as production in these vineyards was too tiny to merit separate bottlings. Leroux made 10,000 bottles of this wine, and it's one to seek out.
WA 88 (12/2017): The 2016 Bourgogne Rouge was aged in wooden tank, bottled mid-October and includes a potpourri of vineyards from here, there and everywhere that had been frosted. This has a delightful bouquet with vivid red cherry and strawberry fruit that is well defined and probably more like a village cru. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh red berry fruit mixed with bay leaf and a touch of black tea. I was smitten by this modest generic red and I bet it will be good value for money.
BH 87 (4/2018): A pretty and very fresh nose is composed by notes of both red and dark berries and soft earth wisps. The sleek and delicious middle weight flavors possess good volume and a relatively refined mouth feel before concluding in a mildly austere and lingering finale. This is really quite good and worth considering. (Drink starting 2020). |

| |
| BH 88 (4/2018): A peppery and earthy mix of red and dark pinot fruit slides into vibrant, rich and fleshy medium-bodied flavors that possess subtle traces of rusticity and youthful austerity on the delicious and balanced finish. This well-made effort should drink well young if that's your preference. (Drink starting 2021). |

| BH 91-93 (10/2016): Soft wood notes float atop the beautifully spicy, ripe and fresh aromas of both red and dark currant, earth and a hint of cinnamon. There is terrific underlying material to the rich and wonderfully refined medium weight flavors that possess fine volume and mid-palate concentration that coats the palate on the lingering finish that is shaped by dense but fine tannins. This is first-rate and about the only nit of notice is a hint of backend warmth. (Drink starting 2021). |

$79 |

|
| |
| BH 89-91 (1/2014): A brooding and somber nose offers up notes of plum, various dark berries and subtle spice nuances. The lilting and lacy middle weight flavors exude a fine minerality on the delicious finish that is shaped by very fine-grained tannins and fine persistence. This is very Chambolle in character. (Drink starting 2018). |

Bourgogne Rouge |

|

VM 88 (3/2014): The 2011 Bourgogne is a pretty entry-level offering from Denis Bachelet. Blue/purplish fruit, sweet tobacco and licorice are some of the notes that inform the supple, easygoing finish. This is a terrific wine in its class. (Drink between 2014-2016). Antonio Galloni.
WA 88 (2/2014): The entry-level 2011 Bourgogne Rouge has a lovely leafy bouquet with dark earthy fruit that feels natural and refined. The palate is medium-bodied with raspberry and strawberry fruit on the entry, fine tannins and a pleasant supple finish. This is uncomplicated and totally delicious. Drink now-2016. |

Bourgogne Rouge |
$85 |

|

WA 88-90 (6/2015): The 2012 Bourgogne comes from two parcels in “Les Pressonnier” and “Les Grand Champs” and sees no new oak. It has a captivating bouquet of brambly black fruit that is very well defined. The palate is well balanced with sappy black fruit on the entry, nicely judged acidity and a natural, pastille-like finish. This is uncomplicated but astutely crafted, downright delicious Burgundy.
VM 88-90 (1/2014): A great introduction to the vintage here, Bachelet's 2012 Bourgogne is endowed with superb depth and purity in its class. Red stone fruits, plums, spices, menthol and licorice inform this striking, expressive beauty. There is a surprising amount of structure for a Bourgogne. (Drink between 2014-2020). Antonio Galloni.
BH 87-89 (1/2014): There is a gentle touch of wood to the spicy red and dark berry fruit aromas that convey a real sense of earth that carries over to the impressively rich and utterly delicious flavors that despite the obvious ripeness retain a fine sense of energy and freshness on the lingering finish. This is a really good Bourgogne and absolutely worth a look. (Drink starting 2016). |

|
| |
| VM 90-92 (1/2019): The 2017 Fixin Les Clos comes from a climat close to the Marsannay border, from one parcel of 1.30 hectares consisting of vines from 10 to 90 years old. It sees 20% new oak. It has an engaging, quite exuberant bouquet of vibrant red fruit infused with hints of violet; the oak is deftly enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a little tighter than the Fixin Village and with more backbone and volume toward the finish. Amélie Berthaut told me that she will probably bottle this later than the Fixin Village, and I suspect it will gain a little density by then. One to watch. (Drink between 2021-2029). Neal Martin. |

|
| |
| BH 88 (1/2006): Here the nose is slightly fresher with riper, fuller and more complex aromas and sappy, dusty and punchy flavors that are a bit more precise and while this is absolutely delicious, it is also altogether serious and delivers first rate finishing complexity. A really lovely effort that offers excellent overall balance and made in more of an old school style than the rest of the range. (Drink starting 2011). |

Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Les Gravains |
$65 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 91 (4/2015): There are floral and herbal tea characters suffusing the black cherry and earth aromas. The textured, intense and well-detailed middle weight flavors exude a fine minerality on the overtly austere, persistent finish. This is also quite serious and will clearly need most of a decade of bottle age to arrive at its peak. (Drink starting 2020). |
|
|
2012 |
Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons |
$65 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 90-92 (4/2014): Here the nose contrasts high-toned and elegant dark currant, plum and floral aromas against distinctly earthy and slightly sauvage scents. There is good tension and detail to the textured and agreeably rich medium-bodied flavors that possess a velvety palate impression on the moderately austere, persistent and well-balanced finale. This too is worth checking out. |

Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots |
$95 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 93 (4/2019): Here the wood influence is a bit more discreet though it must be said that it's far from a background element on the red and blue pinot fruit-scented nose that is trimmed in copious earth and spice characters. The delicious, supple and caressing yet powerful medium-bodied plus flavors coat the palate with good amounts of dry extract on the moderately austere and built-to-age finish. This offers excellent aging potential and is a wine that will need extended patience. Drink 2023+. Sweet Spot Outstanding! |
|

Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Chapelle |
$95 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 90 (4/2016): A more elegant and wonderfully pure nose offers up airy notes of red currant, spice, lilac, rose petal and all but invisible wood. There is equally good purity to the attractively rich and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that also exude a fine bead of minerality on the beautifully refined and persistent finish. This is also dusty but not edgy as the tannins possess better phenolic maturity. (Drink starting 2021). |
|
|
2014 |
Volnay 1er Cru en Carelle |
$95 |
2 |
|
| |
| BH 88 (4/2016): A pretty and distinctly restrained nose features primarily notes of various red berries that are laced with whispers of spice, earth and floral nuances. There is a subtle trace of minerality present on the detailed and almost delicate middle weight flavors that terminate in a dusty and mildly austere finish that exhibits just a trace of edginess. Even though the balance is not ideal I like the obvious Volnay character. (Drink starting 2019). |

Pommard 1er Cru Croix Noires |
$99.99 |
3 |
|
| |
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. |

|
| |
| WA 89 (1/2020): Aromas of ripe cherries, wild berries, spices and rich soil tones introduce the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, a medium-bodied, succulent and open-knit wine that's elegant, enveloping and expressive. This nicely balanced effort will offer a broad drinking window. |
|
|
2020 |
Gevrey Chambertin Champ |
$89 |
2 |
|
| |
| VM 90-92 (12/2021): The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Champ has a perfumed nose with red cherries and crushed strawberry, a subtle flinty note in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a little more concentration compared to the Gevrey Village with a touch of spice on the finish. Very fine and pure. (Drink between 2023-2035). Neal Martin. |

Ladoix 1er Cru Bois Roussot |
$65 |
9 |
|
| |
| BH 90-92 (4/2017): A super-fresh nose reveals a spicy mix of floral and earth-suffused red berry fruit aromas. There is excellent punch and tension characterizing the intense medium-bodied flavors that are finer still if perhaps not quite as powerful and certainly less obviously structured on the beautifully complex and persistent finale. Good stuff. (Drink starting 2023). |
|
|
2015 |
Ladoix Les Carrieres |
$59 |
4 |
|
| |
| BH 89-92 (4/2017): A pungent nose presently consists of wood and reduction. On the plus side though there is a lovely sense of freshness and underlying tension to the slightly more refined medium weight flavors, thanks primarily to the relatively fine-grained tannins that also shape the more obviously mineral-driven and firmer finish where once again hints of bitter cherry and rusticity can be found. This offers terrific quality for a Ladoix villages and is high recommended provided you have the intention of cellaring it for at least a few years. (Drink starting 2025). |

Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chenes |
$79 |
6 |
|
| |
| BH 92 (4/2021): Spicy and moderately high-toned aromas of mostly red cherry and violet are trimmed in subtle nuances of wood toast. The sleek, intense and finer middle weight flavors possess good delineation that carries over to the firm, serious and youthfully austere finish that is the mostly complex and most structured in the range. This is definitely going to require at least some patience but is a wine that should be well worth the wait. (Drink starting 2029). |

Bourgogne Rouge |

|
| |
| BH 87 (1/2023): An appealingly floral-inflected nose reflects notes of earth, dark currant and hints of spice. The rich, concentrated and suave medium weight flavors possess good vibrancy while displaying fine length on the rustic, raspy and serious finale. I would give this very good effort a few years of keeping first. (Drink starting 2025). |

3 |
|
| |
| VM 88 (5/2022): The 2018 Volnay Brouillards 1er Cru has plenty of brambly red fruit on the nose, somehow gentle and soothing. Light and balanced, quite a "mellow" Brouillards, though it lacks a bit of grip and density on the finish. (Drink between 2023-2035). Neal Martin. |

Volnay 1er Cru Les Chevrets Ex-Domaine |
$94.99 |
3 |
|
| |
BH 92 (4/2025): (from 25+ year old vines). An elegant, pure and airy nose is beautifully layered with its mix of spicy red and black pinot fruit aromas. The mouthfeel of the middle weight flavors is markedly finer, indeed the word finesse springs to mind, and particularly so on the stony, detailed and well-balanced finale. A wine of lace and grace. Drink 2031+.
JM 92-94 (10/2024): A fine crimson purple. A little fresher than the Frémiets, with pure red fruit, cherry and raspberry, a little more mouthfilling, stays youthful all the way through, very well mastered, an impressive Chevrets. Drink from 2029-2034. |
|
|
2023 |
Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets Ex-Domaine |
$98.99 |

|
| |
BH 91 (4/2025): Here the expressive nose is slightly riper and spicier with a similar mix of red and dark berries and exotic tea along with more floral elements. The sleek, caressing and nicely punchy middle weight flavors possess adequate mid-palate density together a refined, long and balanced finale. This is perhaps a bit finer than it usually is with solid development potential. Drink 2031+.
JM 90-93 (10/2024): Frémiets, the limestone radiator, says Henri. Picked in good time, as the perfume of ripe raspberry with a little soft strawberry indicates. Satisfying across the palate with some energy at the finish, fully ripe but has kept its balance and with adequate acidity. The tannins are fully ripe. Drink from 2029-2034. |

Marsannay Le Clos de Jeu |
$64 |
1 |
|
| |
WA 92 (1/2023): The 2020 Marsannay Clos de Jeu has turned out especially well, offering up aromas of sweet cherries, mulberries, licorice and toasty new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated palate that's deep and vibrant, with powdery tannins and a precise finish.
VM 90 (1/2023): The 2020 Marsannay Clos de Jeu offers more red fruit on the nose than its Marsannay brethren, slightly savoury with crushed stone aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, nicely proportioned with a more refined and tensile finish than other cuvées. Recommended. (Drink between 2025-2035). Neal Martin.
BH 89 (1/2023): This is aromatically quite similar to the Boivin though with a note of red cherry coulis. The dense, powerful and muscular medium weight flavors are not quite as vibrant though they are just as firm, serious and youthfully austere on the better-balanced finale though note that there is a touch of warmth. (Drink starting 2030). |
|
|
2020 |
Marsannay Les Ouzeloy |
$59 |
1 |
|
| |
WA 91+ (1/2023): The 2020 Marsannay Les Ouzeloy is showing very well, bursting with notes of dark berries and plums mingled with licorice and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with good concentration and powdery structuring tannins, it's built for the cellar.
VM 87 (1/2023): The 2020 Marsannay Les Ouzeloy has a tight-knit nose with blueberry and boysenberry fruit that retain fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, figgy entry, perhaps quite Tuscan in style with good length on the finish. Fine. (Drink between 2025-2038). Neal Martin.
BH 87 (1/2023): Completely opaque appearance. The very ripe yet quite fresh and expressive nose presents aromas of red and dark cherry, poached plum and newly turned earth. There is outstanding concentration to the suave, mouthcoating and almost thick flavors are buffered almost impressive intensity on the rustic, firm and moderately grippy finish that also comes up somewhat short. This is also completely atypical. (Drink starting 2028). |

Gevrey Chambertin Les Evocelles |
$85 |
1 |
|
| |
WA 90-92 (1/2019): The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles exhibits aromas of cassis, wild blueberries and dried flowers that mingle with savory bass notes of licorice and espresso. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with wonderful concentration and depth at the core, tangy acids and a long, mineral finish. This is a supremely elegant Evocelles that's well worth seeking out.
VM 90-92 (1/2019): The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 1er Cru has quite a compact bouquet, with clay-like scents permeating the black fruit. It feels a little broody. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, pure and well balanced. A tang of spice develops toward the grippy finish. This will need three or four years to open once in bottle, but there is good potential here. (Drink between 2022-2035). Neal Martin.
BH 89-92 (1/2019): A fresh if quite restrained, even timid nose grudgingly reflects notes of plum, dark currant, forest floor and a touch of earth. There is once again excellent vibrancy and intensity to the super-sleek and refreshing middle weight flavors that are finer if a bit less concentrated, all wrapped in an attractively complex, persistent and mildly austere finale. This too offers excellent quality for its level. (Drink starting 2025). |
|

2016 |
Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles |
$95 |
3 |
|
| |
VM 88 (10/2019): The 2016 Volnay Les Angles 1er Cru comes across a little confit-like on the nose, suggesting that it might have been picked a day or two too late. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, quite bold and assertive in style with a slightly monotone finish that never kicks on. I wonder if this Volnay is simply undergoing an awkward stage? Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting in Burgundy. (Drink between 2021-2032). Neal Martin.
BH 90-92 (1/2018): A relatively high-toned and more elegant nose features notes of red currant, cherry, raspberry and a hint of lavender. The super-sleek, indeed almost lacy middle weight flavors display more minerality if less density before terminating in a lingering finish that tightens up noticeably on the dusty and mildly austere finale. (Drink starting 2024). |

Bourgogne Bons Batons ex-Domaine |
$33.95 |
49 |
|
| |
VM 88-90 (1/2025): The 2023 Bourgogne Rouge Bon Baton comes from a parcel adjacent to Ghislaine Barthod's on stonier soils, aged mostly in one-year-old barrels. Lightly perfumed on the nose, this conjures raspberry, strawberry and wild hedgerow scents, more complex than your common or garden Bourgogne Rouge. The palate is medium-bodied with satisfying concentration, not weighty or dense but light on its feet with commendable purity and grip on the finish. Traces of tobacco emerge on the aftertaste. Village Cru in quality. (Drink between 2026-2031). Neal Martin.
JM 87-89 (10/2024): An even purple colour. A very attractive stylish perfumed floral nose, with a little more body than the regular. Not massively concentrated but distinguished in its length. Sound acidity. The flavours stay with you. Drink from 2026-2030.
BH 86-89 (1/2025): A slightly riper and more deeply pitched nose features aromas of dark cherry, poached plum and freshly turned earth. The delicious if not especially dense flavors do possess a lovely sense of underlying tension before culminating in a youthfully austere, lingering and mildly austere finale. This is also very good for its level and worth checking out. Drink 2027+. Outstanding! |

| BH 89-91 (1/2020): (from the villages portion of the vineyard.)This is at once slightly more elegant and more complex with its cool and airy nose of red and dark pinot fruit that is amply laced with earth and floral hints, all of which is trimmed in a deft touch of wood. The mouthfeel of the delicious medium-bodied flavors is once again fleshy and generous but refined and with good minerality on the palate coating and length finish. This is a lovely Chambolle villages. Drink 2025+. Outstanding Top Value! |

$99.95 |

|
| |
BH 91-93 (1/2025): (from the villages portion of the vineyard.) A more elegant, more floral and more expressive nose freely offers up its mostly cool red cherry, spice and a similar hint of crushed anise. The mouthfeel of the middle weight flavors is positively gorgeous, even silky, with an almost pungent minerality adding a sense of lift to the long, balanced and youthfully austere finale. This is a stunningly good Chambolle villages that would make many a premier cru blush - highly recommended. Drink 2031+. Outstanding!
JM 90-93 (10/2024): An even ruby purple. Here the nose stands up and speaks of the vineyard, with nothing too solar in style. The dark raspberry fruit, with some cherry overtones, fills the palate very nicely with a positive structure of medium tannins and a little acidity provide an interesting rearguard, Drink from 2028-2034.
VM 88-90 (1/2025): The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras has a fresh and expressive bouquet of black cherries, raspberry and subtle violet scents, gradually revealing just a hint of forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with a taut opening. Leaner than the 2022 with moderate length, this just requires a little more flesh toward the citric finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. (Drink between 2026-2038). Neal Martin. |

2023 |
Nuits St. Georges Aux Barrieres ex-Domaine |
$69.95 |
60 |
|
| |
VM 91-93 (1/2025): The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Barrières comes from a single 0.70-hectare parcel in the north of the appellation. It doesn't quite click into gear on the nose like the wonderful 2022, rather it is perhaps more discrete with loamy scents percolating through the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a firm grip. Fine tannins and a conspicuous, almost briny marine influence develop toward the finish, lending another dimension. It coheres nicely in the glass and it should give 12 to 15 years' drinking pleasure. (Drink between 2027-2042). Neal Martin.
JM 90-92 (10/2024): Ruby with a crimson rim. Less immediately expressive than the Nuits-St-Georges Vieilles Vignes, with in any case a different fruit profile, demonstrating the terroir of the north side of Nuits, beginning to flirt with Vosne-Romanée. The class shows on the second half of the palate and in the persistence, across more refined tannins. Horses for courses. Drink from 2028-2033.
BH 89-91 (1/2025): (from a .70 ha holding.) An equally cool and slightly spicier nose speaks of the essence of red plum, newly turned earth and dark currant. The very supple, even caressing medium weight flavors possess fine punch and a subtle minerality on the firm, powerful and serious finale. Fine quality here as well. Drink 2031+. Outstanding! |

Nuits St. Georges Vieilles Vignes |
$72 |
1 |
|
| |
WA 89-91 (1/2023): Aromas of red berries, orange zest and rose petals introduce the 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes, a medium-bodied, fleshy and perfumed wine with melting tannins and a saline finish. It's an especially charming, fragrant rendition of this perennially reliable cuvée.
BH 89-91 (1/2023): A more deeply pitched nose offers up its notes of various dark berries, cool earth and a hint of crushed fennel. The rich, delicious and more voluminous medium weight flavors possess notably better depth and persistence if also more evident rusticity. This is a very good Nuits villages and worth considering. (Drink starting 2027). |

Plenty of size and solidity here but graceful too. Finishes with dusty, ripe tannins and good lift. (Drink between 2021-2028). Stephen Tanzer. |

| BH 90 (4/2021): A less spicy and more sauvage-inflected nose reflects additional notes of red and black cherry, plum, rose petal and plenty of earth characters. The attractively textured, intense and solidly powerful medium weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the ever-so-mildly rustic and austere finale. This too is a fine villages and in particular it has unusually good persistence. (Drink starting 2027). |

| 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+. |

| VM 92-94 (1/2014): Layers of blue/purple fruit, violets, spices, menthol and new leather blossom in the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers. Today, the 2012 is expressive and beautiful, with exceptional balance and a total sense of class. The Cazetiers is going to be virtually impossible to resist young, but it also has more than enough depth to develop nicely in bottle for many years. Antonio Galloni. |

| BH 91-94 (4/2021): This too is aromatically very pretty with its perfumed aromas of red and dark cherry, violet and sandalwood wisps. There is very fine volume to the powerful and mineral-driven larger-scaled flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the balanced, long and built-to-age finish. This is potentially terrific and a wine that should age extremely well and note that it's going to need at least 6 to 10 years first. Drink 2034+. |

| BH 87 (3/2022): (from vineyards in Santenay, Marsannay and the lower portions of Volnay). Fresh aromas include those of red and dark berries, earth and a whiff of the sauvage. The delicious middle weight flavors are at once sleek and juicy with a clean mouthfeel that continues onto the youthfully austere and moderately firm finale. This is a very fine Bourgogne and worth checking out. Drink 2024+. |

BH 87 (4/2025): (from vineyards in Santenay, Marsannay and the lower portions of Volnay). This is unusually pretty for a Bourgogne with its array of ripe plum and violet scents. There is fine volume to the utterly delicious and solidly concentrated middle weight flavors that display impressive length on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finale where the only nit is a touch of warmth. This is a quality Bourgogne and worth a look, especially for value. Drink 2026+.
JM 86-88 (10/2024): The Bourgogne includes fruit from Pernand and Santenay and Marsannay. Rich deep purple, very ripe cherry, not cooked, but in the opulent style. Slightly firm fruit behind, with a certain glossiness before the crunchy finish. Drink from 2026-2028. |

JM 86-87 (10/2024): A fine red to crimson colour, with an agreeable immediate red fruit nose, no great concentration but nicely made. Perfumed with some cherries, a slight hardness at the finish still needing time to soften – recently racked – and good acidity. Some young vines in this. Drink from 2026-2028.
BH 86-89 (1/2025): (from Chambolle vines.) An expressive and fresh nose offers up notes of red and blue pinot fruit laced with earth and discreet spice nuances. The supple, delicious and fleshy middle weight flavors conclude in a refreshing and long finish where a touch of rusticity eventually surfaces. Solid quality here. Outstanding! |

JM 90-93 (10/2023): A rich purple colour. The bouquet has the attractive sumptuous qualities of fully ripe fruit picked before it starts to turn. A peppery note helps to maintain the freshness, the fruit flows beautifully across the palate, quite complex and perfectly balanced. Drink from 2028-2035.
BH 89-91 (1/2024): ( from Les Danguerrins, Aux Croix and Babillières.) Here too there is just enough wood to merit mentioning on the ripe if decidedly cool aromas of red and dark pinot fruit, anise, violet and a hint of exotic tea. Once again there is a really lovely texture to the lacy and delicious middleweight flavors that exhibit solid length on the balanced and mildly austere finish that could use slightly better depth. Drink 2029+. |

VM 90-92 (1/2025): The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes comes from vines over 50 years old from three lieux-dits. Tightly knit on the nose, this adds just a soupçon of blue fruit to the bouquet that's a little floral with admirable vigor. Just a hint of kirsch emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip on the entry. This is a solid Chambolle-Musigny, though the finish should be tighter with more flow. It's just a bit static at the moment. Give this a couple of years in bottle. (Drink between 2027-2040). NEal Martin.
JM 89-91 (10/2024): Purchased grapes. Medium purple with a lighter rim. This carries Chambolle qualities, some violets, not quite the coffee, medium bodied, good acidity again, a mid-range Chambolle for the medium term. Drink from 2027-2031.
BH 88-91 (1/2025): (from Les Danguerrins, Aux Croix and Babillières). A pretty if brooding nose is comprised by notes of various dark berries, violet and crushed anise. The super-sleek, delicious and intense medium-bodied flavors are not particularly dense but they do possess, much like the CdNV, a highly seductive mouthfeel before concluding in a youthfully austere and ever-so-mildly edgy finish. The edginess will probably round out if given a few years and note that my projected range offers the benefit of the doubt. Drink 2029+. |

VM 89-91 (1/2025): The 2023 Côte de Nuits-Villages comprises two-thirds fruit purchased from Clombanchien, and the rest Domaine fruit from En Luret lieu-dit. Blackcurrant and raspberry combine nicely on the nose, not concentrated per se, yet showing decent clarity and purity. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly granular texture on the entry, lightly peppered though there are no stems in the blend. Focused and harmonious toward the finish, this is a worthy follow-up to the 2022. (Drink between 2027-2037). Neal Martin.
JM 89-90 (10/2024): A mix of their own vines, one third from Au Leurey, and the rest purchases in Comblanchien. There is more depth to the purple colour here. A perfumed nose with a more sensual and floral bouquet redolent of the sunshine. Good acidity behind, medium density, some length. Drink from 2027-2030.
BH 88-91 (1/2025): (mostly from Belle-Vue in Comblanchien with small amounts of Les Loges, Les Leurey and Vaucrains.) This is aromatically similar to the Bon Bâtons but with notably more spice influence. The supple, delicious and energetic medium weight flavors possess a highly seductive, even velvety, texture while displaying very good length and depth on the balanced bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. Drink 2028+. |

BH 92 (4/2018): The very ripe aromas of plum, cassis and plenty of earth elements are trimmed in evident wood and menthol notes. This is admirably concentrated with seemingly buckets of dry extract that imparts a lavish mouth feel to the velvety, firm, youthfully austere and powerful finale. This overtly muscular effort is also going to require at least a moderate amount of patience before it will be accessible and like the Bressandes should ultimately reward 12 to 15 years of cellaring. (Drink starting 2027).
VM 92 (1/2018): Dark, bright red. Distinctive scents of black raspberry, German chocolate cake, meat and leather. Then very rich, sweet and pliant; the most voluminous of these 2015s but without quite the early sex appeal of the Bressandes. Not at all heavy or extreme, though, as the ripeness of the vintage has given this wine atypical finesse and silkiness. The broad, mounting finish features serious but ripe tannins and no rough edges, with its building dark fruit flavors stimulating the salivary glands. This should go on for two decades. Stephen Tanzer. |

Gevrey Chambertin Ostrea |

JD 93 (11/2021): The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea is a brilliant bottle that comes from four different parcels around the village of Brochon, with some of the vines going back all the way to 1919. The name Ostrea refers to the oyster shells found in the parcels designated for this cuvée. Fermented with 30% stems and aged in roughly 30-40% new French oak, it reveals a medium ruby/plum color as well as a textbook Gevrey nose of darker currant and black raspberry fruits supported by loamy earth, bouquet garni, and assorted spices. Medium-bodied on the palate, with nicely integrated oak, it has the vintage's up-front fruit yet still brings plenty of tannic structure, good acidity, and outstanding length. It needs an hour or so in a decanter if drinking any time soon and will have another 15+ years of prime drinking ahead of it. (Drink between 2021-2037).
BH 90 (1/2021): Once again there is a subtle but not invisible dollop of wood suffusing the notably floral-inflected aromas of earth, forest floor and various dark berries. There is outstanding volume and mid-palate density to the opulent yet impressively well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that pack very good power and punch on the long, complex and balanced finale. This too is excellent for its level and one to look for provided you can give it at least 6 to 8 years first as it's pretty tightly wound. (Drink starting 2028). |

| VM 90 (1/2018): Bright medium red. More restrained but slightly higher-pitched and more floral on the nose than the Clos des Myglands, showing sexy peppery lift to the red cherry and raspberry fruit aromas. Suaver and finer-grained (the Clos des Myglands is dustier) if currently less expansive, conveying good mineral energy and definition to its red berry, rose petal and spice flavors. Finishes delightfully cool, with notes of cherry, menthol and flowers and a firm spine of ripe tannins. A terrific Mercurey with clarity and spine. Stephen Tanzer. |

| VM 92 (1/2018): (from 40- and 70-year-old vines planted on argilo-calcaire soil in a 0.5-hectare monopole just below Taillepieds; 30% new oak; these vines are planted north-south and were the estate's only holding that avoided frost damage in 2016): Bright, dark red; not quite as deep or saturated as the Santenots. More refined on the nose, with a black cherry aroma lifted by a violet topnote. Densely packed but juicy and light on its feet; youthfully medicinal but not liqueur-like or roasted. A real bomb of sappy cherry stomp, this wine spreads out nicely on the back end, finishing with firm but suave tannins and lovely length. And its early harmony of components should give it earlier appeal than the Santenots. Stephen Tanzer. |
