Jane Eyre Savigny-Les-Beaune 2022

This parcel comes from the same Domaine as the Savigny les Beaune 1er cru Vergelesses. Wines of village appellation are often a blend of several parcels. However, when a wine is made from fruit coming from one parcel the name is often called out on the label, as in the case of the Auxey Duresses 'Les Crais'. This vineyard is called "En Connardises." One can only guess why someone came up with this name - look it up! Despite the … more

Domaine Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2019

"Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cassis, rich spices and loamy soil, the 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with an ample core of lively, concentrated fruit and a textural, enveloping profile. This elegant, gourmand wine will offer a broad drinking window." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

"Soft wood and a top note of menthol are present on the plum and sauvage scented nose. The racy, intense and again attractively textured … more

Domaine Leflaive Pouilly-Fuissé 2021

Note: from Solutré

"Elegant and very pretty aromas of petrol, acacia blossom and various white orchard fruit give way to sleek and relatively sophisticated flavors that are once again markedly saline, which only contributes further to the refreshing and persistent finish. This is lovely and understated." Drink: 2025+ Burghound Issue: 83

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Beaune 1er Cru Clos De La Mousse 2019

"Aromas of spiced plum, black cherry and a touch of warm earth are trimmed in admirably subtle wood nuances. The super-sleek, intense and wonderfully energetic medium weight flavors possess fine length on the more overtly structured finale. This is both a bigger and more powerful wine than the Teurons that could use better depth but the given that the aging curve of the '19 Mousse should be extended, more complexity should almost certainly develop in due course." - 90-93 points … more

Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-St-Georges Vieilles Vignes 2018

From steep, rocky, well-drained vineyards with an average age of 85 years. The soils are mainly composed of limestone with 'nuances' of marl and clay. Generously proportioned with significant aging potential.

"

"The inherent power of the 2018 vintage chez Chevillon is readily apparent from the first wine in the lineup this year, as this is a big, deep and pure example of old vine Nuits AC. The bouquet is ripe and sappy, jumping from the glass in a mix … more

Jane Eyre Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Vergelesses 2021

The vineyard is located in the upper part of this famous parcel. It is on an eastern facing slope looking over to the Grand cru Corton. This year I used 30% whole bunch, 25% new oak. The wine is always a mix of delicate fruit aromas with spicy nuances and a firm point with crunchy tannins that give a presence to this very digestible pinot. Jane Eyre

Domaine Louis Boillot & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 2018

"Very dense vibrant purple black, bristling with energy. Lively raspberry and fresh blackberry, still with this all-pervading sense of energy. The richest and densest Evocelles I have tasted but all kept perfectly in proportion and a very long fresh finish." (92-94). Jasper Morris

Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Bel Air 2019

"Reduction presently overshadows the underlying fruit though it does seem ripe. There is very good volume to the plush, round and delicious medium weight flavours that exude a refreshing minerality on the intense, firm and precise finale that also possesses very fine depth and persistence. This is a very good effort that should repay a decade plus of cellaring. 91-93 Points" - Allen Meadow, burghound.com

Domaine Faiveley Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Chaignots 2017

"Concentrated and succulent, this is a really sophisticated Nuits-Saint-Georges with seductive, floral and spicy aromas and just a hint of sweet, vegetal aroma (from the stems of the 20 per cent whole bunches in the ferment). Very long, complete finish that suggests this has great aging potential. Try to wait until at least 2022. " 94 points James Suckling jamessuckling.com
