(90-92 points) The 2019 Volnay Village comes from several parcels, 45% from Les Achats, 45% Les Aussy and 10% Les Petit Garnets, the latter due to be pulled up this year. It has an attractive bouquet with pure red cherry...

The wonderful red-cherry fruit with hints of redcurrant and blackcurrant pulls you into this very expressive wine. For all the ripeness, the really striking thing about this is the great vitality, the way it leaps and...

(93+ points) Dark red with ruby tones, with the color coming from iron and limestone in the soil, according to Rossignol. Sexy scents of red raspberry, spices and tobacco. Wonderfully vibrant and delineated, particularly...

Plenty of juicy, sour cherry and raspberry notes, matched to a vivid structure. Really elegant, offering ripe tannins but very lively acidity. Subtle length on the finish. Drink now through 2009. 970 cases made, 400 cases...

(91-93 points) Jadot's 2012 Beaune Theurons is quite a bit firmer and more structured than the Greves. Iron, red fruit, minerals, chalk and smoke are some of the many notes that open up in the glass. The 2012 is going to...

A pretty and restrained nose grudgingly displays notes of poached plum, black raspberry, earth and subtle spice nuances. The supple, round and easy-going middle weight flavors exhibit a touch of rusticity on the...

(91-93 points) A more elegant nose features notes of spiced red berries with background whiffs of the sauvage and freshly turned earth. The middle weight flavors are not super dense yet there is a lovely sense of harmony...

A completely different aromatic profile is present on the aromas of leather, the sauvage, humus and an array of red and dark currant. The succulent round and solidly concentrated flavors exude a subtle minerality, all...

(91-93 points) Glowing bright purple. This has a superb nose with vivid lively raspberry fruit, fresh, after which I am expecting good acidity and getting it. Classic balance here, really intense fruit without a sensation...

(92-95 points) To understand the wine you need to know the soil, Bruno thinks. This is on Oxfordien limestone, a softer stone, with lots of little coquillages. The topsoil is a whitish marl. Fine concentrated mid purple...

Macerated cherry and plum flavors are married to a dense structure here, with ample sweetness and a supple texture. The finish is long and echoes the sweet fruit detail and picks up spice notes. Best from 2022 through...

Intense aromas of black cherry, pomegranate and tamarind mark this juicy red. Smooth, with well-integrated tannins lending a dusty feel as the finish plays out. Already harmonious, this should develop well over the next...

This wine is soft and round, with attractive acidity as well as a light sense of structure from tannins. It features considerable acidity along with wild strawberry flavors that keep it lifted and aromatic. Drink from...

Again, this possesses slightly better freshness with its hints of poached, if not stewed, plum, spice and earth. There is much, much better freshness and energy to the dense and more voluminous bigger-bodied flavors that...

The 2014 Pommard Les Vignots is powerful, sinewy and intense, with notable structure and tannin presently enshrouding the fruit. Although the Vignots is often quite approachable - and frankly delicious young - the 2014 is...

The 2011 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots-les-Milieu comes from a parcel that Lalou’s family had been buying since 1949. It has an extraordinarily pure bouquet with raspberry preserve, wild strawberry, cold stone and cheeky touch...

Perfumed cherry fruit, with floral notes and a perfect purity of fruit. The texture is supple and round. As winemaker Paul Delorme noted: 'All the work is in the fermentation, after that it's done, contrary to the...
