(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...

A smidge of fresh, chilled cream appears tantalizingly on the shy nose of this wine. The smooth but fresh palate displays lemon freshness, yeasty creaminess and a rounded mouthfeel. Yeastiness dominates the dry, fresh...

Brisk with the scent of wild Mediterranean herbs, this gamay looks toward the south in its warm and juicy red fruit. The flavors are bold and lasting, bound by mineral tension and smoky tannins.

A full, ripe wine, this is rich in white fruits, but balanced by bright acidity. Produced in a vineyard close to Buxy, it has a taut edge, plenty of honey and lemon flavors, and a touch of toast. It's developing well, and...

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...

This focused, light-to-medium bodied red offers a medley of steeped black cherry, tangy blackberry and apricot notes flanked with tea, cedar and anise elements. A vivid hint of rosewater defines the long finish. Drink now...

An even spicier and very fresh nose reflects riper aromas of poached plum, floral, clove and a similar touch of star anise, all of which is trimmed in a subtle application of oak. There is better volume to the rich...

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...

Here too there is a Chablis-like hint of quinine adding breadth to the decidedly cool and citrusy green apple-scented nose. There is excellent cut and energy to the delicious medium weight flavors that exude a subtle...

While this wine is currently quiet, it shows a lot of promise. Mouthwatering and long on the palate, it offers attractive citrus pith, delicate white flowers and fresh almonds. Cellar hold for 5-7 years. — Anna-Christina...

The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d'Orveau 1er Cru is understated on the nose. sous-bois-infused red fruit, hints of Earl Grey and chestnut lend complexity, but this remains nuanced and low key (in a positive way)...

Attractive nose of minerals, wet stones, orchard fruit and yuzu zest. Pure and zingy, with a medium body and a linear feel to the center palate. Long and quite saline and stony in nature. Very mineral, uncompromising and...

A beautifully layered nose reflects notes of white flowers, mineral reduction and a plethora of spice elements. Once again there is a lovely texture to the intense, concentrated, mouthcoating and unusually powerful...
