A mentholated top note is present on the notably spicy aromas of poached plum, black raspberry and warm earth. Once again, the palate impression of the medium weight flavors is supple and pliant yet there is good...

While the nose is compositionally similar to the Bressandes, it's not quite as fresh though it is slightly spicier. There is both good refinement and power to the delicious, delineated and subtly mineral-inflected flavors...

Gentle red-fruit notes have the slightest sheen of vanilla on this wine's nose. The palate offers the full-fruited intensity of ripe cherry, propelled by vivid freshness. A touch of heat and mocha play on the finish. —...

Intensely aromatic, offering graphite-tinged currant, cherry, strawberry and earth flavors. Its texture is silky and the finish well-defined, even racy and long, echoing the fruit and mineral components. Best from 2022...

Pure cherry is the calling card of this juicy, linear red. Currant, strawberry and oak spice play supporting roles, backed by vibrant acidity. Fruit and spice persist on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 1,200 cases...

Bichot owns a 0.17ha parcel of Chambertin at the top of the hill, which it bottles under the Domaine du Clos Frantin label. The fruit is given a slow fermentation in wood fermenters and is aged 14-18 months in cask (70%...

96+ The 2018 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a magnificent bouquet. Dark berry fruit, crushed roses, minerals and incense soar from the glass. Wonderful definition. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins...

This is aromatically quite similar to the Santenots though the partial whole cluster vinification adds a floral top note. There is equally good volume to the medium-bodied flavors though not quite the same vibrancy on the...
