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...

The 2024 Aloxe-Corton Les Fournières 1er Cru has a little more delineation and mineralité on the nose compared to the Vercots at the moment. The wood seems more simpatico. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a little fleshier and more corpulent towards the finish that is delineated an...

Blend: Sémillon, Sauvignon blanc, MuscadelleThe style of Chteau La Tour Blanche’s wines is characterised by a superb balance between richness and freshness, and a great aromatic complexity.Baked pineapple notes on the opening, this is luscious and sweet, 4.7hl/h, a tiny yield that fully explains...

Bordeaux Blend: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc.A blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2022 d'Yquem is a strong candidate for the title of wine of the vintage. Exhibiting a remarkably delicate, complex and energetic bouquet of rose, confit citrus, exotic fruits and orange marmalade, it's f...

Bottled in September 2024, just two months before my visit, the 2022 L'Hermitage Blanc is brilliant. Prominent honeysuckle, lemon zest, ripe peach, cedar, quince and a hint of jasmine burst from the glass. The full-bodied 2022 seamlessly combines elevated flavour concentration with vibrant freshness...

From vines planted in 1922Racked and returned to barrel. A bright and vigorous purple. Good tension on the nose, the last signs of a previous reduction. Dark red berries. Adequate acidity, the tannins present and perhaps in need of longer elevage, which it will get. Drink from 2033-2040.94-96 Jasper...

From 40 year old vines situated at the very top of the hill directly by the Chteau.Still in barrel, unracked. Medium purple in colour. Slightly more dour on the nose, as befits Clos Vougeot, with a rugged structure behind the dark fruit which is livened up by some fresher raspberry flavours. The tan...

From 2 vineyards: Les Feusselottes and Les Chtelots.A bright lively purple. Refreshing energy on the nose, deep cherries behind the more floral aspect, this fills the mouth generously and will be an exciting Chambolle to drink in the not too distant future. Useful tannins, adequate acidity, but abov...

Recently bottled. Quite a solid deep purple. The bouquet is more backward, suggesting a darker Nuits-St-Georges fruit. Liquorice, black cherry and the traditional plums, with a decent tannic structure supporting the fruit. Fair length, lower acidity. Drink from 2029-2034.92 Jasper Morris MW.The 2023...

Crimson purple. The livelier of the two Nuits 1ers Crus, with red and black fruit harmonising on both nose and palate. Fills the mouth with a slightly livelier acidity at the back and notably refined tannins. Long, balanced and fine. Fluid in a good sense! Drink from 2030-2036.92-94 Jasper Morris MW...

50% of the blend is from Les Condemennes and 25% each is from Pas de Chat and Derrière le FourA healthy mid purple. The bouquet is a little livelier than Fleurières. In fact, this is the more floral wine of the two, with slightly fresher red fruits. Plenty of energy across the palate, a good balan...

From a parcel that sits right below the Nuits 1er Les Pruliers.Purple with a dark centre, but these colours are lively, not super-saturated. Dark berries on the nose, blackberry even, then a full soft dark fruit on the palate, lowish acidity but stable with useful tannins to provide the structure. F...

The 2017 Volnay Carelle Sous la Chapelle 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of red currant, strawberry and sous-bois, opening nicely with aeration though still one of the more bashful in this lineup. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, lithe and harmonious, delivering disarming purity t...

Aromas of raspberries, plums, orange zest and potpourri preface the 2021 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches, a medium to full-bodied, pillowy and enveloping wine with a pretty core of fruit and powdery stem tannins that assert themselves on the gently structured finish. 90 William Kelley, Wine Advocate...

The 2021 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens is especially elegant and melting this year, bursting with aromas of cherries, plums and berries mingled with rose petals and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, it's a seamless, delicately extracted wine with a pure, saline finish. 93 William...

The 2022 Pinot Noir La Colline du Chteau was harvested on the granite of Grand Cru Schlossberg. The ferment contained 60% of whole bunches and this spent 24 months in oak. There is just a touch of distant woodsmoke on the nose, gentle and smooth, almost with a touch of meatiness, but all very subtle...
