(91 - 93 points) The 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains (Maison Louis Jadot) has turned out especially well this year. Revealing notes of cherries, cassis, rich spices and smoke, it's medium to full-bodied...

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes has an attractive nose of brambly red fruit mixed with freshly tilled earth and light minty aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, brown spices infusing the red...

The tannins are linear and direct in this otherwise fruity wine. Along with dark tannins, it is also rich with warm red fruits. The acidity still shows strongly and suggests that the wine needs time. Drink from 2020...

Vibrant ripe purple. There is gentle graceful fruit on the nose then an easy going opulent fruit up front which builds beautifully behind. This is a plump and less savoury style of Gevrey-Chambertin.

(91-94 points) (Note: from vines next to the wall by Grands Echézeaux) Here too there is mild reduction that does not completely hide the subtle aromas of red berry fruit, crushed herbs, earth and a hint of the sauvage...

This rich red is suave and ripe, laced with black cherry, black currant and oak spice flavors. Balanced and supple, with complexity and a lingering aftertaste of sweet fruit, mineral and spice. Best from 2016 through...

(94-97 points) Gorgeous deep fresh yellow, picked on 28th August, 13.85% already, it was time to do it! Very high-class nose, full of complex options. Benjamin didn’t like the new wood component so quickly took it out...

Macerated cherry, wild strawberry and mineral aromas and flavors highlight this taut, racy red. As this builds to a long conclusion, the intensity, fat and silky texture emerge, only to be challenged by solid grip on the...

Sourced from Pierre Damoy's holdings and picked towards the end of the harvest, this is a correspondingly ripe, rich, concentrated grand cru with masses of colour and power, layers of red and black fruits, sinewy tannins...

Wow. A stunning combination of perfectly ripe fruit with strawberries and plums that turn to dried flowers and spices. Some decadent notes. Full-bodied, yet so tight and formed with fruit and tannins that intertwine and...

This is as cool and restrained as the Clos St. Jacques though the nose is a good deal spicier and more complex with its mélange of floral, pomegranate, tobacco and broad range of red berry fruit scents. There is a really...

(96-98 points) Fine bright purple. A beautifully harmonious bouquet and absolutely no sign of the whole bunches here, unlike Cazetiers. Perfectly structured, I put this well ahead of its neighbour, Cazetiers, in 2020. I...

(90-92 points) Clerget noted that this didn't finish its malo until September and had not been racked so not surprisingly it was firmly reduced. Otherwise there is good freshness and vibrancy to the punchy middle weight...
