A lighter-framed vintage that will be ready to drink before the classic 10 year window. You see hints of this immediately in the plum colour, with shadings of a lighter raspberry around the rim even at four years old. The...

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...

Highly Recommended. A smoky red, infused with notes of autumn woods and herbs, featuring a core of strawberry and wild cherry flavors. Silky in texture and balanced, ending with a long, tightly wound and minerally finish...

Made of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Belair Monange is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. With a little swirling, this baby comes bounding out of the glass with energetic notes of wild blueberries...

This packs solid blackberry, red currant and boysenberry fruit paste flavors together, all inlaid with tar and licorice snap notes. A bold brambly edge infuses the finish with grip and energy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot...

OMG. What a glorious wine on the nose with aromas of blackberries, black licorice, ink and blood-oranges. Full-bodied, tight and powerful with compact tannins that cascade across the palate, giving this incredible...

There is ripeness and opulence to this, in an almost exotic and sassy way. Crushed berries with chocolate and spice. Floral and cashmere undertones. This starts off slowly and just rolls off the palate with beautifully...

Very perfumed and subtle with dried flowers and citrus, as well as blue fruit. Full-bodied with wonderfully diffused, integrated tannins that just run over the edges of the wine. It’s extremely polished and very, very...

Dense tannins mark this wine out. It has a dry core that still dominates the black fruits. A juicy character does pervade the wine, giving promise for the long-term future. Drink this wine from 2025. — Roger Voss

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...

Pure, evoking black cherry, black currant and floral aromas and flavors. Rich and dense, yet set on a lithe frame, with fine grip to the aftertaste of lingering fruit, mineral and spice. Shows lovely harmony. Best from...

(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...

A harmonious, mineral-driven Champagne, offering a chalky underpinning. This wraps a bright beam of acidity in the fine and creamy mousse, which carries notes of yellow apple, whole grain toast, dried currant and lemon...

Extremely perfumed Mouton with currants and crushed berries. Hints of roses and other flowers. Tight and extremely refined with ultra-fine tannins and cool yet rich currant character. The center palate offers sweet...

Olivier Bernstein uses 80% whole bunches as well as more customary 100% new oak on this fine Clos de Bèze from a 0.3ha parcel. Big, bold and dense, it's a serious, ageworthy wine with sumptuous red and black fruits...

Perfumed with rose, sandalwood and red berry notes, this is silky and elegant. Lays across the palate like a gossamer scarf, featuring beautifully integrated tannins and a long, detailed aftertaste that reveals a...

(91-94 points) Rich dense purple, quite a plump fruit on the nose, a little bit of inkiness perhaps linked to the barrel. Clean, clear-cut, classy, and when the whole bunch kicks in the red fruit dances, this is elegant...
