(93-96 points) From Petit Maupertuis. Rich heady purple. The nose is excellent, with more open fruit than many of the Ponsot 2020s at this stage. Dark but not black fruit, an excellent thread of acidity which marries well...

90+ The 2020 Gevrey villages from Philippe Harmand is really strong this year. The wine delivers a vibrant aromatic constellation of sappy black cherries and dark berries, grilled meats, dark chocolate, woodsmoke, a fine...

(92-94 points) From the northern end of Gevrey-Chambertin, towards Brochon. One third whole bunch and 25% new wood. Glowing crimson purple, a little bit deeper than Arnaud’s Ma Cuvée. The oak shows a little less, this has...

(92-94 points) Solid dark purple with a lighter rim. The nose is discreet but fine. The fruit expands considerably on the palate, on the cusp of red and black, somewhere between optimum and maximum ripeness but...

The 2020 Mazis-Chambertin from Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy is another simply great bottle in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure, precise and sappy, wafting from the glass in a mix of cassis, sweet blackberries, espresso...

(93-95 points) The 2020 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru has a much more complexity and a more nuanced bouquet compared to the Echézeaux, dark berry fruit and briary, crushed stone, clove and a touch of sage. Lovely. The palate...

There is just enough wood to merit mentioning framing the ripe and spicy nose of cassis, wild dark berries, plum, humus and a whiff of the sauvage. The supple, round and delicious slightly bigger-bodied flavors possess...

On the oaky side today, displaying vanilla and sweet sawdust aromas that give way to black cherry and blackberry flavors underlined by an iron accent. The balance tips toward dry, lightly astringent tannins, improving...

Lush, forward black cherry fruit and hints of rose petals. On the palate, there is a sucrosity typical of Charmes and less alcohol than in 2019. Despite its approachable nature, this is not lacking in structure and should...

Though marked by new oak, this has a shaft of alluring cherry and raspberry fruit at its core. This red's spice theme continues throughout, with an emerging mineral element. Features firm, refined tannins and refreshing...

The 2020 Lavaux St. Jacques from Domaine Harmand is a stunning young wine. It delivers a glorious aromatic constellation of black cherries, cassis, grilled meats, complex black minerality, a hint of mustard seed, raw...

(92-95 points) No stems. A significant, dense purple black colour. Lush raspberry and sun-dried cherries, the signature of the vintage. Sturdy and weighty, the tannic structure offers some relief which will help this wine...

(94-97 points) Apart from 2017, Jean-Nicolas Méo only makes one commercially available cuvée of his substantial holding of Clos de Vougeot. Even purple throughout. This is a sturdy, weighty, richly dark fruited...

(94-97 points) Dense purple, some energy, not quite come together yet. This has broad shoulders, the structure I expect of Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin, from ancient vines still in great health. Excellent acidity, this keeps...

(92-95 points) This too is exuberantly spicy with its range of clove, anise, hoisin and floral nuances, particularly violet and rose petal. The delicious, suave and very rounded medium-bodied flavors exhibit impressive...

The seductive power of this grand cru creates a 2020 conundrum: The value of the wine is based on its potential to develop over decades, yet it is hard to resist drinking right now. A taste gives the sensation of an...

(91-93 points) Aromas of cassis, plums, vanilla pod and orange rind preface the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated wine that...

(96-98 points) The 2020 Clos de Tart Grand Cru contains around 55% whole bunch this year with 65% new oak. It has a very limpid hue in the glass. The bouquet takes time to open but my word, it is beautiful...
