The Corton has been in barrel rather than foudre. Two thirds derives from Bressandes, one third Chaumes et Voierosse, whence comes the more mineral aspect. Mid lemon yellow. A spicy form of reduction here. The fruit swells through the middle of the palate, racy citrus notes on top of a full panoply...

From a.76 ha parcel of 50 year old vinesCool red berry aromas laced with hints of forest floor and humus-tinged earth. There is again a lovely texture to the slightly denser flavours that tighten up on the youthfully austere, firm and lingering finale. This could use better depth so a few years of a...

Blend of village Gevrey, Champerrier and 15 lieux dits including his old vines (40-100 years).The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin XV is a blend of fruit from the regular Village plus the Vieilles Vignes and Champerrier, titled "XV" since it comes from 15 parcels. This is very perfumed on the nose: pure red c...

Slightly more wood influence frames the distinctly sauvage and forest floor-inflected aromas of wild red currant and spice. The super-sleek, precise and intense flavors exude a bracing minerality on the bitter pit fruit, long and chiseled finale. Promising.Outstanding.90-93 Burghound.The 2024 Gevrey...

An admirably subtle application of oak can be found on the pretty, cool and airy nose of elegant red cherry, tea and mineral reduction. There is more volume and mid-palate density to the aggressively mineral-driven flavours that possess excellent depth and persistence on the well-balanced and youthf...

Here too moderate wood influence is present on the equally sauvage-inflected nose of red and dark berries, forest floor and a broader array of spice nuances. The richer and more concentrated flavours also display excellent power on the sappy, youthfully austere and equally structured finale that is...

Very highly rated premier cru and one of the signature wines from Esmonin.Strikingly elegant, pure and airy aromas of the essence of just crushed red currant, cherry and newly turned earth. The supple, caressing and refined flavours are less obviously powerful if even more mineral-driven, all wrappe...

Not reviewed - but from the grapes of 70 year-old vines - the vineyard being very close to Prieur, below the village.

From the ‘Villages’ rated section of the vineyard, rather than the premier cru part. This wine easily betters many 1ers.Nose of fresh red berries and earth. The racy and nicely detailed flavours possess acceptable mid-palate density while displaying solid length on the dusty finale. This compete...

The 2021 Yquem was tasted in Amsterdam, the first wine poured at a lunch, thereby allowing me a longer period to examine it. Slightly burnished in hue, it has a very attractive bouquet with scents of dried quince, clementine, linseed and subtle candle wax, perhaps more discrete than usual, but certa...

The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Le Clos 1er Cru comes from vines with an east exposure on the middle of the slope, a monopole of Chteau de Fuissé, although each part is vinified separately. It is raised entirely in new oak from a local cooperage in Romaneche-Thorin, although that is far less marked than t...

Blend: Furmint, Sárga Muskotaly, ZétaIntense yet fresh flavours of nectarine, papaya, passionfruit, marmalade and cooked red apple underpin the elegant florality of rose petals and chrysanthemums. A vegetal seam of celery and parsley adds liveliness and brings the exotic fruit into focus. Good zes...

Bordeaux Blend: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc.Wow. This is incredibly concentrated with such depth and power. Dried oranges. Full-bodied with some phenolic tension that frames the wine perfectly. Dried apricots and peaches. Incredible richness and freshness. Spicy and flavourful. 100% semillon. 98-99 J...

The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Tête de Cuvée is raised 60% in oak barrels and the rest in tank, bottled at the end of 2023. This cuvée includes some Premier Crus, including Combettes, which were not bottled separately this year. It has a winsome nose with mint-tinged citrus fruit that opens with gusto...

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Franc, Merlot.Founded in 2018 by Julie and Baptiste Guinaudeau,Les Perrières de Lafleur is grown and produced in Fronsac at Chteau Grand Village on limestone dominant soil. The vines for Les Perrières are from Lafleur’s massal selection of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the...

Bordeaux Blend: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris.The 2021 Les Charms Godard is mostly Sémillon in this vintage, with smaller pieces of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. In 2021, Les Charmes Godard is brighter and more focused than in the past. Time in bottle will help release some its u...

The 2013 Dom Pérignon is quite delicate and understated. It reminds me of the 2004, but with a bit more mid-palate richness and a bit less energy. Apricot, tangerine peel, white flowers, jasmine, mint and light honeyed notes all meld together. There’s lovely vinous intensity as well as a feeling...

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, MerlotGorgeous vibrant purple colour in the glass, deep and darkly scented, black bramble fruits, flowers, cinnamon, dark chocolate and liquorice. Firm and forward, this is generous but sleek, so you get power and concentration but also juicy liveliness, great ten...

I am dreaming as I smell this wine, perfectly ripe cabernet sauvignon with currants, tobacco and fresh mint. Orange blossoms too. This amazing nose is so complex. Medium- to full-bodied, this has perfectly integrated tannins that you don't feel but know are there, elevating the wine to another level...

The 2022 Saint-Joseph is medium-bodied and savory, with delicate notes of red plum, crushed violets, liquorice, graphite and a hint of dried meat. Layers of black olive and white pepper add depth and complexity. Smooth tannins provide gentle structure, leading to a persistent and elegant finish. 93...

Bordeaux Blend: Merlot, Petit Verdot.Abundant sweet cherry and truffle, new saddle leather and spice box notes are present in this medium to full-bodied, supple-textured, silky Pomerol. It is less concentrated than some of the big boys such as Gazin, Le Gay, L’Evangile and Certan de May, but it is...

The 2024 Chorey-lès-Beaune Village is the usual blend of two lots. It has a much better nose than the Bourgogne Côte d'Or: cranberry and redcurrant, touches of cold black tea. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, pretty red cherry fruit, a pleasant countervailing bitterness and a cohes...
