The 2023 Morgon opens on the nose with a signature Lapierre vibrancy, revealing fragrant lavender, crushed petals and vanilla. Layers of ripe raspberries, licorice and blueberries emerge, accompanied by a subtle wave of...

91+ Powerful but with no lack of focus, the 2022 Morgon Cuvée Château-Gaillard is an expression that intricately mirrors the profound terroir. Driven by its structural elements, the wine boasts tightly woven, powdery...

92+ The 2023 Morgon Cuvée Château-Gaillard, crafted from partially destemmed fruit, presents a full-bodied profile with notes of black cherry, prune, licorice and pine. The wine’s power is evident, with layered...

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...

The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent Très Vieille Vigne Les Caves has an open, delineated bouquet with cassis, blackcurrant and a subtle marine scent emerging with time. The palate is harmonious, silky smooth and a little edgier than...

The 2023 Fleurie Poncié opens on the palate with vibrant notes of lilacs, lavender, sweet soil, candied plums and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, the wine features tangy acidity that enhances the satiny fruit with a tart...

(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...

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...

The 2015 Moulin a Vent la Roche contains 40% whole bunch fruit and is aged in 30% new oak. It comes from 70-year-old vines cropped at 24 hectoliters per hectare. This is much more controlled and sophisticated on the nose...

This shows what was possible in the challenging 2024 vintage. Very youthful, energetic and crisp with a healthy core of moderately dry tannins. The pronounced minerality is as striking as the abundant black-cherry and...

Very cool and and focused, this mouthwatering Saint Romain has an extreme chalky minerality. Only medium-bodied, but really concentrated. Super-fresh and focused finish with so much fresh herb complexity (think sage and...

This white evokes the seashore and briny mineral elements, along with lime blossom, apple, vanilla and butterscotch flavors. A hint of earth emerges as this extends on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now.

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...

Fine purity accents the cherry, strawberry, cinnamon and toast aromas and flavors. Concentrated and fluid, with a supple texture and intensity that builds to a lingering finish. Terrific length. Best from 2023 through...

The 2022 Fleurie has a beautifully defined nose with wonderful mineralité like Foillard's other cuvées, surfeited with energy. There’s real purity and panache. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of mulberry on the...

The 2020 Le Corton Grand Cru has an open-knit bouquet, possibly with some stem addition, slightly tertiary red fruit with a light loamy element that emerges with time in the glass. This has real complexity and terroir...

(90-92 points) The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière sheds some youthful reduction in the glass to reveal aromas of plums, orange zest, vine smoke and raw cocoa, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and...
