Fine bright crimson purple with class and some charm. There is a welcome freshness to this wine, and a sense of precision. Not quite the length of Bruno Clair’s Clos St-Jacques, more red fruit, a little acidity, this is...

97+ There were only seven barrels of the superb 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Très Vieilles Vignes, as the Roty family's ancient vines yielded a mere 18 hectoliters per hectare. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of...

A fresh and transparent expression showing mushrooms, raspberries, orange zest and tea leaves on the nose. It’s medium-bodied, juicy and silky, with fine tannins and a delicious finish. Drink now or hold.

(90-93 points) Spicy aromas of cherry and wild red and dark currant are trimmed in hints of green tea. The super-sleek and refined medium weight flavors possess a lovely mid-palate texture that contrasts somewhat with the...

(94-96 points) A brooding and highly restrained nose only grudgingly offers up its aromas of spiced exotic tea, black cherry liqueur, plum and a similar array of floral elements. There is both more volume and power to the...

(91-93 points) Just bottled. 40% whole bunch vinification. Dense crimson ruby. An attractive and relatively deep red berry fruit. This is delightfully detailed with little wavelets of discreet berry fruit sometimes redder...

(90-91 points) 10 plots representing three of their 8.5ha. Deep purple with a lighter rim. A darker, denser fruit, less explosive than the Bourgogne. A few blackcurrants and bilberries, not quite squeezed till the pips...

This enticing red is open and complex, delivering spicy cherry, roasted beet and earth notes, with a hint of rhubarb, all framed by oak spice. Firm, yet with viscosity and intensity. Shows fine balance and length. Drink...

(92-93 points) The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes is ample and perfumed, wafting from the glass with aromas of plums, orange zest, potpourri and spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with a...

90+ The 2020 Gevrey villages from Philippe Harmand is really strong this year. The wine delivers a vibrant aromatic constellation of sappy black cherries and dark berries, grilled meats, dark chocolate, woodsmoke, a fine...

(92-93 points) The 2021 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru derives from a one-hectare parcel in Mazoyères that's harvested in three picks and vinified in two vats. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it's a sensual red...

The lively acidity and touch of blood-orange character keep this youthful but balanced pinot noir very bright and focused on the medium-bodied palate. Really long, velvety finish with excellent earthy depth. From...

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...

(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...

(97+ points) The 2020 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a refined bouquet, beautifully poised with brambly red fruit, hints of sous-bois and incense. This is utterly seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy...

92+ The 2015 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru, derived from young vines in the Musigny, offers up a lovely bouquet of black cherry, summer fruits, caramelized citrus peel and subtle espresso roast. On the palate, the wine is...

The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a fragrant, perfumed and classier bouquet than Hudelot-Baillet's Bonnes-Mares: well-defined with clever use of stems. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned...
