(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...

(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...

Cherry, raspberry, floral and mineral flavors are framed by vanilla and toasty oak in this intense red. Bright acidity and a solid base of tannins lend support as this fades gracefully on the multifaceted finish. Overall...

(90-92 points) The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes is lovely, wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries, orange zest, spices and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy...

(90-92 points) The 2023 Pommard Les Cras has a perfumed bouquet with rose petal scents infusing the light red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, pretty red cherry fruit and a delicate and precise...
