(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...

(93-95 points) The 2020 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru certainly has the most opulent bouquet amongst d’Angerville’s ‘20s with exuberant black cherries, raspberry coulis, hints of fresh fig and black truffle. The palate is...

(90-92 points) Notes of sweet spices, wild berries, licorice, loamy soil and smoke introduce the 2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grand Epenots (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine, with a deep core...

(90-93 points) A perfumed and pretty mix features notes of both red and dark cherry liqueur along with floral and exotic tea nuances. This too possesses a highly attractive mouthfeel with slightly better mid-palate...

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...

Ripe, generous and velvety with lively acidity, this is an impressive Volnay that retains the light-footedness of this appellation, in spite of the extreme vintage. Stacks of fine tannins and this side of the wine builds...

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...

An expressive red, bursting with black cherry, blackberry and violet aromas and flavors. Balanced, if not that complex, this lingers nicely on the juicy finish. Drink now through 2030. 600 cases made, 300 cases imported.

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...
