From the family domaine of Aubert de Villaine who, in 2022, stepped down as co-manager of Domaine de la Romanée Conti after 48 years. In this 2021 vintage wine, instead of being sourced solely from Bouzeron, seven parcels...

(90-93 points) Here too reduction blurs the detail on the ripe aromas of white orchard fruit and petrol. The racy and even more refined flavors are less generously proportioned though they do possess very good density...

Aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, hazelnuts and clear honey introduce Coche's 2021 Meursault Village, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive wine with a pretty core of fruit girdled by tangy acids and...

(90-93 points) Classic Chablis aromas of iodine, mineral reduction and oyster shell add breadth to the notes of green apple and citrus rind. There is first-rate intensity to the detailed and stony medium-bodied flavors...

This racy, elegant wine features bright aromas of ripe apple, mineral and hawthorn flowers. The texture is creamy, richer than some in this cool year, waxy and long. The characteristic tension of the vintage is present...

(90-93 points) Here too the wood treatment is no longer subtle though neither is it invasive on the ripe and fresh aromas of pear and apple compote, lemon rind and wafting spice nuances. The citrus character is also...
