A touch of licorice enlivens the smoky, oaky nose on this wine, supporting a brooding note of elderberry. The palate comes in with juiciness, portraying plump, aromatic dark fruit reminiscent of fleshy black cherry. Ripe...

Fine bright and deepish purple. Very little nose to start with. Then a fine body of plump fruit on the plate, more weight and density than the village wines, the finish holds up nicely and good length. A little bit of...

(91-93 points) The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of red and black fruit mixed with truffle and subtle minty aromas that gradually gain intensity in the glass. The palate is...

A lifted hint of oak toast is faint on the fresh nose of this wine. On the palate, the dense fruit strikes first and takes center stage. This wine brims with ripe, crunchy red-cherry notes, framed and help by firm...

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...

(93-97 points) Really intense glowing fresh purple. This is super sumptuous from very old vines, swamps the back of the palate with its ripe dark raspberry character, even a little bit of spice. Much less structural...

(91-93 points) Planted at the same time as Craipillot, Au Closeau offers a brighter deeper richer purple. This is luxurious but not clumsy, with a little spicy touch, from 50% whole bunch. Works very well here, with a...

From various vineyards in the centre of the appellation, on both sides of the main road: Platière, Puits de la Baraque, Crais, Charreux, Champerriers. Full deep purple, with a luxurious ripe, but balanced fruit, an extra...

(92-96 points) Immense dense purple, almost prune juice. Picked by the vigneron who picks late! 30% whole bunch, maybe saves the day. It is an immensely powerful wine in a very distinct late picked style. Not unbalanced...

(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...

(90-92 points) A very ripe though still reasonably fresh nose offers up notes of sauvage-inflected dark pinot fruit along with floral, earth and forest floor nuances. There is excellent intensity to the equally sleek and...

(91-94 points) The Georges Lignier plots are scattered throughout Clos de la Roche, mostly in Mochamps and Chabiots. Medium depth of purple. This is cooler, fresher wine, with noticeably more precision, with some wood...

(95 - 97 points) There's an almost unprecedented 400 bottles of Faiveley's 2018 Musigny Grand Cru this year, a tiny cuvée that was vinified with 50% whole cluster. Soaring from the glass with a profound bouquet of...

An open and harmonious red, with fine intensity to the cherry, wild strawberry, incense, spice and earth aromas and flavors. This is driven by lively acidity, with firm, civilized tannins underneath. Long finish, where...

Fragrant, fluid and seductive for the silky texture, with cherry, floral, sandalwood and oak spice aromas and flavors. Well-structured yet deftly balanced, this feels effortless and graceful overall. Reveals licorice and...
