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 Drouhins' village Morey is sourced from the Très Girard lieu-dit. Fermented for the first time with 100% whole bunches in in 2017, this has laudable finesse and perfume, with barely noticeable one-third new wood...

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...

Sandalwood and cardamom aromas signal this cherry and black currant-flavored red. It's sleek and underlined by a graphic element that, along with the vibrant structure, drives the dense, powerful finish. Best from 2023...

Very fragrant with effusive, floral notes and some sour cherry. This is a very graceful and filigree wine, in which the tannins show at the end as if suddenly emerging from the depths. In spite of that, the finish is...

Benoît Stehly's 0.24ha block is on the Chambolle side of the grand cru - as nearly everyone's is - but he says the iron-rich red soils have more in common with Morey-St-Denis. Fermented with 30% whole bunches, this is...

91+ The lieu à dit of le Reniard is across the RN74 from aux Etelois (which lies below Griotte and Petite Chapelle on the slope) and has been the home to the Lignier family’s parcels for their Gevrey AC bottling for many...

Vigorous youthful purple with real density. A backward nose of significant intensity, dark fruit of classic Nuits-St-Georges character. Huge intensity, with the black fruit complemented by the required freshness. A little...

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Champs Perrières Vieilles Vignes has one of the more outgoing bouquets that I tasted from Tardy, featuring forward red cherry, raspberry coulis and pressed rose petal aromas. The palate is...

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Champs-Chenys has a clean, precise bouquet, tightly wound at first but unfolding to reveal raspberry, cranberry and pressed flower. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, and...

A deep and rich wine for the vintage with deep fruit. Juicy and bright. Smoke, wet earth and iron. Just before bottling. Drink after 2020.

Bright fresh red, plenty of energy, this is very promising. Superb quality of fruit on the palate with a mineral crunch behind, boundless energy. This is very exciting and delivers a magical finish. The bouquet keeps...

(93-96 points) 80% new wood, but entirely destemmed, as Nicolas wants to keep the massive aspect that makes Clos Vougeot a real vin de garde. Dense black colour. Thick texture for the vintage with firm grained tannins...

(91-93 points) Soft reduction and wood serve as a pungent introduction to the sleek, mineral-driven and well-detailed medium weight flavors that possess a refined if muscular mouth feel, all wrapped in a youthfully...

(90-93 points) An elegant, pure and beautifully layered nose reflects notes of dark cherry, raspberry and violets. The mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is at once refined but muscular with both good delineation and...

(90-92 points) Firm reduction renders the nose unreadable at present. More appealing are the sleek, intense and tautly muscular medium weight flavors that possess good detail and plenty of punch on the focused, powerful...
