Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 2017 Magnum

"The icon is in dangerously seductive form. Such pristine dark cherries, blackberries and dark plums, dark chocolate, finely crushed spices and plenty of crushed dark stones on offer. The palate is very intense, very slick and fine tannins deliver an almost playfully soft impression. The oak is super integrated. Like La Maison Bleue, this approachability is an aberration, as it has immense power, concentration and length with such regal and alluring swagger at the finish. But there is so much … more

Domaine Faiveley Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru 2017 Magnum

Note: from both Mazis Haut and Bas where the two parcels total a remarkable 1.20 ha

Here the expressive nose isn't quite as toasty but it's still far from subtle while managing not to unduly mask the more sauvage-inflected dark berry and forest floor scents. There good density and solid power to the muscular yet reasonably refined flavors that also evidence ample minerality on the beautifully long finale where the supporting tannins are slightly riper. This too should age effortlessly … more

Domaine J.F. Coche-Dury Hospices de Beaune Pommard 1er Cru "Les Epenots" Cuvée Dom Goblet 2018

Note: from a .71 ha parcel in Les Petits Epenots; Coche purchased 6 barrels

An attractively fresh nose is comprised by notes of both red and dark currant, earth and a whiff of oak. The medium weight flavors possess reasonably good underlying tension and complexity though the finish, while reasonably persistent, is slightly drying. There are aspects to admire but it would be fair to say that the balance isn't quite completely dialed in. In sum, this is good but … more

Domaine Follin-Arbelet Romanee Saint Vivant Grand Cru 2019

"Once again the wood treatment is perceptible though it remains sufficiently subtle to not interfere with the appreciation of the very ripe aromas of roasted plum, cassis, violet and lovely array of exotic spice elements. The surprisingly full-bodied flavors are bigger than what is typical for RSV yet though the extra size and weight does not significantly compromise the refinement of the serious, mouthcoating and lingering finish where the only nit is noticeable warmth. While not quite as structured as … more

Domaine Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2018

"There is enough reduction to knock down the fruit at present though the sleek, focused an energetic middle weight flavors possess very good freshness and fine complexity while delivering excellent length on the firmly structured finish where the only reproach is a touch of warmth. This isn't particularly concentrated though with that said, there appears to be enough underlying material to enable the 2018 Clos de la Roche to develop gracefully over many years. 91-94 points" - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Louis Jadot Chambertin Grand Cru 2017

"Here too there is a whiff of a similar varnish character but in this case it is so subtle that it doesn't overly detract from the pretty and cool aromas of red and dark cherry, spice and forest floor. The seductively textured yet powerful and muscular stony large-scaled flavors terminate in an exceptionally firm, long and balanced finish. This is a 'buy and forget I own it' wine." 91-94, Drink 2035+ - Burghound, Issue 74

Domaine J.F. Coche-Dury Volnay 1er Cru Cuveé Général Muteau Hospices de Beaune 2018

This Cuvée is made up from 5 superbly-placed Volnay Premier Cru, En Caillerets, Carelle Sous la Chapelle, Frémiets, Taillepieds and Le Village. Domaine J.F. Coche-Dury purchased 3 barrels.

"All the Volnay cuvées had gone through their malolactic fermentation at the time of tasting, and this cuvée was harder to judge than most. It was in fact the first to be picked as the grapes had ripened very well in their respective vineyards. Bright purple in colour, the nose has some … more

Mongeard-Mugneret Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots 2017 Magnum

From the Domaine "Nuits St Georges wines make you long to bite into them. Although their name evokes twilight and nightfall, these premier crus have a fairly vigorous nature, hard while immature, more caressing later on.

Les Boudots wines, rigorous and lively, with a high alcohol content and great finesse, are notable for their soft, perfumed bouquet, reminiscent of blackcurrants and wild blackberries; their bouquet alone makes them easy to distinguish from wines from other vineyard areas.

Delas-Freres Hermitage "Les Bessards" 2016 Magnum

"The 2016 Hermitage Les Bessards offers more violets and floral notions with hints of blue fruits (cassis blueberries) full-bodied richness and building sweet polished tannin. It's another ripe opulent 2016 that's going to drink nicely in its youth yet age gracefully given its purity and balance. While a step back from the otherworldly 2015 this brilliant wine is one of the gems in the vintage.94-97 points" - Jeb Dunnuck
