(90-92 points) The 2020 Beaune Montreveneaux 1er Cru is composed and focused, the oak neatly integrated here (20%), touches of undergrowth coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp acidity...

The 2021 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was bottled in July 2023. It has much more intensity than the La Forge, though there remains a bit of new oak to be subsumed at the moment. The medium-bodied palate has fine depth and...

(91-93 points) A fine mid purple. A lovely luscious ripe red fruit, raspberry especially, but so welcoming. Beautiful balance, with just the ripe tannins, though quite low acidity. From racked barrel more precision.

(90-93 points) Ripe aromas include those of black cherry liqueur, kirsch, anise and a hint of violet. Here too the medium weight flavors are rich, concentrated and velvety with equally good minerality adding a similar...
