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...

Well-marked by new oak, this red delivers spicy cherry, raspberry, boysenberry and floral aromas and flavors. Turns sleek and elegant by the finish, with vibrant acidity and fine harmony. Though balanced, this will need...

90+ The 2021 old vine bottling of Nuits St. Georges was showing beautifully at the time of my visit. The wine delivers a beautiful bouquet of red and black cherries, gamebird, dark soil tones, a touch of nutskin...

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...

A fresh and transparent expression showing mushrooms, raspberries, orange zest and tea leaves on the nose. It’s medium-bodied, juicy and silky, with fine tannins and a delicious finish. Drink now or hold.

Aged in wood for 10 months, this wine has weight and richness that are underlined by the density and juicy acidity. It provides a fine example of Pinot Noir from Sancerre, with intensity and a promising future. Drink from...

(90-91 points) 10 plots representing three of their 8.5ha. Deep purple with a lighter rim. A darker, denser fruit, less explosive than the Bourgogne. A few blackcurrants and bilberries, not quite squeezed till the pips...

This enticing red is open and complex, delivering spicy cherry, roasted beet and earth notes, with a hint of rhubarb, all framed by oak spice. Firm, yet with viscosity and intensity. Shows fine balance and length. Drink...

Firm, expressive and peppery, this red displays cherry, blackberry, violet and oak spice flavors. Tightens up on the finish yet persists, with fruit and spice notes lingering. Best from 2028 through 2045. 45 cases...

(90-93 points) Spicy aromas of cherry and wild red and dark currant are trimmed in hints of green tea. The super-sleek and refined medium weight flavors possess a lovely mid-palate texture that contrasts somewhat with the...

Here there is a vaguely liqueur-like quality to the aromas of black cherry, kirsch and poached plum along with a similar hint of violet. The rich and delicious medium weight flavors are rich to the point of being generous...

(94-96 points) A brooding and highly restrained nose only grudgingly offers up its aromas of spiced exotic tea, black cherry liqueur, plum and a similar array of floral elements. There is both more volume and power to the...

(91-93 points) Just bottled. 40% whole bunch vinification. Dense crimson ruby. An attractive and relatively deep red berry fruit. This is delightfully detailed with little wavelets of discreet berry fruit sometimes redder...

(92-93 points) The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes is ample and perfumed, wafting from the glass with aromas of plums, orange zest, potpourri and spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with a...

(91-93 points) This too is sufficiently reduced to mask the underlying fruit, but it seems clear that it is ripe. More interesting are the finer and less powerful though no less concentrated medium weight flavors that...

This has the ripe and generous fruit that we expect from this Beaune, but also touches of blood oranges and summer flowers. Succulent red fruit with an excellent structure of fine tannins and lively acidity on the...

Deep savory and rooty nose plus a touch of candied oranges and coconut. Substantial, plush tannins on the medium-bodied palate that is wonderfully velvety. The power and concentration are underplayed until you reach the...
