A mentholated top note is present on the notably spicy aromas of poached plum, black raspberry and warm earth. Once again, the palate impression of the medium weight flavors is supple and pliant yet there is good...

(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...

(90-92 points) Here the wood is more apparent with a hint of menthol though neither are so much to impinge on the attractiveness of the ripe black cherry, smoked game and overtly floral-scented nose. The rich, generous...

At our tasting at the domaine in March, the 1995 Clos de la Bussière showed absolutely brilliantly. This is not a surprise, as Christophe realized remarkable success in this vintage, with his lineup of wines perhaps the...

Cherry, raspberry, floral and mineral flavors are framed by vanilla and toasty oak in this intense red. Bright acidity and a solid base of tannins lend support as this fades gracefully on the multifaceted finish. Overall...

(91-93 points) The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques exhibits notes of cherries, strawberry conserve, rose petals and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and succulent palate that's...

(92-94 points) In contrast to the expressiveness displayed by many wines in the range, this is sufficiently reduced as to mask all but subtle spice nuances. More interesting are the notably finer if less concentrated...

(90-92 points) The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussière is, along with Les Cras, one of the more overtly ripe wines in the range this year, delivering notions of red berries, spiced plums, petals and sweet...

Though succulent, there's density, power and structure informing this beefy red. Black cherry, blackberry, earth, iron, vanilla and toasty oak flavors are wrapped in a cloak of ripe tannins, lending a wild, almost savage...

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village exhibits aromas of sweet cherries, raspberries, loamy soil and toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with powdery tannins and succulent acids, it concludes with a...

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru has one of the more classically-styled, reserved bouquets amongst its flight. Exhibiting more tertiary elements, this is exquisitely defined by presence rather than horsepower...

(90-93 points) Notes of dark berries, cherries, licorice, smoked meats and spices introduce the 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte, a medium to full-bodied, supple and sapid wine with a sweet core of fruit that's...

(92-94 points) An overtly floral-suffused nose is perfumed, elegant and exceptionally pretty with its blend of mostly dark berries, exotic tea and a suggestion of rose petal. There is impressive volume to the moderately...

An even spicier and very fresh nose reflects riper aromas of poached plum, floral, clove and a similar touch of star anise, all of which is trimmed in a subtle application of oak. There is better volume to the rich...

(90-92 points) The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, raised in 20% to 30% new oak, has a cohesive bouquet, focused and delineated. It is not complex yet has attractive black cherry and light boysenberry fruit. The...
