A very elegant, floral and focused Fleurie with an excellent combination of lacy lightness and mineral density. Underplayed power and plenty of finesse, just like you expect from Fleurie in an excellent year, but this is...

(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...

I like the savory olive notes here, with peppercorns and salted almonds amongst the red berry fruit. Some nutmeg. Creamy and layered on the palate, with a medium body and silky yet very present tannins. Powerful fruit...

This has an attractive nose of wild raspberries, red currants, flowers, nutmeg and a hint of cinnamon stick. Excellent flavor concentration on the palate with rich fruit and spices combined with very fine and precise...

The initial impression is round, with ample peach, grapefruit, melon and flint flavors framed by a light kiss of oak. The steely structure sneaks up on you, taking over and defining the lingering aftertaste. Drink now...

(91-93 points) Smoky and mildly toasty aromas feature notes of ripe pear liqueur, spice and airy ocean breeze suggestions. The rich, dense, caressing and palate staining larger-scaled flavors brim with dry extract and...

The 2021 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was bottled in July 2023. It has much more intensity than the La Forge, though there remains a bit of new oak to be subsumed at the moment. The medium-bodied palate has fine depth and...

(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...

(92-94 points) Another charming, sensual wine from Arlaud, the 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru delivers aromas of orange rind, rose petals, sweet spices and plums. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with melting...

(92-94 points) The 2021 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is beautiful, bursting with aromas of red berries, orange zest, rose petals and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's vibrant, fleshy and perfumed...

(91-92 points) Sensual and perfumed, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes offers up aromas of dark berries, cherries, petals, raw cocoa and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping...

(91-94 points) Firm reduction. There is more evident minerality if not the same mid-palate density to the rich but not really generous medium weight flavors that possess an even more refined texture that carries over to...

(90-92 points) The 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Damodes bursts with aromas of sweet red berries, rose petals, orange zest, sweet spices and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and melting, with supple...

A slightly more elegant and somewhat higher-toned nose of the essence of red cherry isn't quite as spicy but is even more layered. The refined and almost delicate flavors don't lack for punch and particularly so on the...

An attractively spicy nose freely offers up distinctly cool aromas of red and dark cherry, violet and a touch of forest floor character. There is again excellent verve and very good volume to the rich, muscular and...

(90-93 points) Here too the oak influence is prominent enough to mention while remaining a background element on the aromas of earthy and spicy red and dark currant. The is excellent intensity to the racy and appealingly...
