Tasting Notes"Impressively youthful saturated dark red color. Deep, brooding aromas of black fruits, violet, licorice and tobacco reminded me of Bordeaux, if not Pauillac. Hugely rich, tactile and mouthfilling, with its fleshy black cherry and violet flavors conveying a strong impression of inky depth without coming across as heavy. A classically dry, medicinal grand cru in a distinctly masculine style, this has the stuffing and structure to last 50 years. Spreads out horizontally on the back end, finishing with building ripe, dusty tannins and palate-staining length. Not the last word in finesse but this is an uncanny powerhouse of a Burgundy. Fans of the style may rate it even higher than I do. (13.2% alcohol; 3.33 pH; 3.6 g/l acidity). Tasted March 2019. 94 points Drink 2019 - 2038" Vinous.com (ST) |

Tasting NotesEX-DOMAINE------"The barest touch of menthol sits atop cool sauvage-inflected aromas of red berries, humus, earth and a hint of oak. The attractively delineated and refined middle weight flavors exhibit good detail, minerality and verve before culminating in a super-saline finish that is shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins. This is very Clos Prieur in character. Lovely stuff. Drink 2022+. 91 points." Burghound |

Tasting Notes"Rose, cherry and spice aromas introduce this light-bodied, saturated version. The flavors add wild strawberry, incense and kirsch notes, while remaining persistent on the kaleidoscopic finish. Feels tense now, yet should develop nicely over time. A mineral element lingers.

Tasting NotesMore structure to this than the Échezeaux Orveaux, but still very approachable now. Peppery spice, super fine tannins and a softness to the fruit, so unusual to taste GC wines so open at this stage, really delightful. RKL "Cask sample. Mid cherry red. Smells ripe and sweet and generous in its red fruit. A touch peppery. Gorgeous harmony between ripe, fresh, generous fruit and well-modulated structure. Succulent, fine, mildly chewy and seems remarkably accessible even now. Very, very long." 18 points jancisrobinson.com (JH) |

IB | ||||
Tasting NotesA little closed on the nose (tasted on an extremely damp, foggy day, low air-pressure subduing some aromas) but meaty and savoury, with a tremendously fleshy, plump mid-palate and structured tannins. Dominique commented that Côte de Nuits Villages growers are increasingly looking at plots at the tops of their slopes. Labelled as 'Hautes Côtes', they often echo the style of the nearby village. Serious and structured Burgundy from a Chambolle grower but at an 'Hautes Côtes' price. RKL. |

Tasting Notes30 to 60 year old vines. "Très jolie' on the nose, delicate floral (violet, peony) and mineral crushed rock notes. Blackcurrant and mint tones at the core, very fine and open now. As with the other wines tasted so far, this seems to have an honesty and sincerity - reflecting the personality of the wine maker. The elegant style of Les Charmes comes from the high limestone content of the soils here. RKL |

Tasting NotesFrom vines directly above our heads, growing in a plot in Dominique's back garden, beneath which his newly excavated cellar lies. Broad, earthy and spiced on the nose. Fills out further on the palate, with a persistence to the length, (Les Charmes is more linear by comparison). Dominique suggests 6-7 years in bottle for the Les Charmes but an additional 2 years for Les Cras. RKL |

Tasting NotesFrom 60-80 year-old vines. Full and fleshy in character on the palate, juicy black fruits, with dark blackcurrant and blueberry balanced by earthy cherry and some spice. Powerful but supple tannins with the elegant silky texture of Chambolle already evident on the finish. RKL |

Tasting Notes(Vines planted 1914) "Les Fourneaux is a lieu-dit within the Clos Rousseau Premier Cru, which is widely regarded as one of the Santenay's best sites. Most of the vineyard was planted right back in 1914 and this is often a wine that marries concentration and structure. Smartly oaked in 30% new wood, it's a spicy, intense, well-balanced Pinot Noir with black cherry fruit and a spine of serious tannins. 2023-2032. 94 points." Tim Atkin MW, Decanter, Oct 2018 |

Tasting NotesElegant blackcurrant fruit with wonderful purity, very fine and elegant fine but the duration leaves no doubt about GC status, building on the palate (pheasant's tail....). Wonderfully elegant. RKL "The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is another of the portfolio's high-points this year, bursting with aromas of wild berries, orange rind, incense and smoked meats. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with old-vine concentration, broad shoulders and a long finish.

IB | ||||
Tasting NotesPowerful and concentrated with lots of black cherry aromas. Very phenolic, intense fruit, juicy, pleasingly rustic and energetic, will require 6-7 years in cellar. RKL "Moderate wood and menthol influences frame the intensely earthy and gamy aromas of both red and dark currant. There is excellent energy to the stony medium weight plus flavors that are at once succulent yet powerful where the latter carries over to the serious, firmly structured and mildly warm finish that goes on and on. This somewhat rustic effort is very Corton in basic character and a wine that's going to require patience. (93-95 points)/2040+" Burghound "Aromas of wild berries, dark chocolate, grilled squab, warm spices and forest floor introduce the 2018 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley, a medium to full-bodied, youthfully reserved wine that's deep, lively and concentrated, concluding with a long and beautifully defined finish.

Tasting NotesAnother 'wow' here, a real jump up in concentration from the Lavaux; Cazetier is full with black fruits and enormous intensity, generous and rich with lots of spice, brilliant in 2018. RKL "This is very Gevrey in character with plenty of sauvage, freshly turned earth, forest floor and brooding wild dark berry and cassis scents. There is fine richness to the concentrated, powerful and full-bodied flavors that exhibit a subtle minerality on the moderately austere and impressively long and slightly grippy finale.

Tasting NotesIntense dark fruits on the nose with excellent purity. Much more restrained on the palate, with very fine tannins and dark fruit flavours, blackcurrant and black cherry. The tannins sustain the long, satisfying finish and the overall impression is of a really delightful Cote d'Or red, great value. RKL "Bright cherry red. Really quite interesting and layered aromatically already. A hint of oak lingers but the fruit is pretty seductive, and doesn't seem overripe – though it's quite fruity and is much less austere than the Bourgogne Rouge 2018. Could be great for burgundy lovers in a hurry – though probably not for purists. GV. Drink 2021 – 2024. 16 points" jancisrobinson.com |

IB | ||||
Tasting NotesFrom a small 1er Cru site which is almost a monopole of Drouhin Laroze (no other growers own enough here to bottle the wine on its own). Located just in front of Mazis-Chambertin. 20% in new oak. Concentrated dark fruits but more elegant than expected in 2018, with very fine tannins giving a complex,creamy textured effect on the palate (some definite similarities with Mazis). RKL "The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Au Closeau 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet of red currant, cranberry and light sous-bois aromas, all very focused and nicely detailed. The palate is equipped with fine, supple tannins that render this a pliant Gevrey-Chambertin, although there is some new oak on the finish that needs to be subsumed. At 60%, I can see how a little more prudence might have been preferable. Not bad, but I would like to see how this develops and eats up that new wood. 89-91 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

Tasting NotesBigger and richer on the nose (than the Vougeot) yet with extraordinary poise and control. Subtle entry but the fruit grows and spreads across the mid-palate as wonderful ripe tannins emerge in support. Dark fruit, mineral and a wonderful texture. Beautiful balancing acidity keeps it so fresh. Very long finish. One of our wines of the vintage. RKL******“The 2018 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru includes 30% whole-bunch fruit, though this is the one grand cru where you cannot detect the stem addition, just the copious dark cherry, raspberry, cedar and undergrowth aromas that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is supple on the entry, the acidity neatly counterbalancing the intensity of the fruit. This Clos-de-Bèze has real grip and an arching structure on the finish, suggesting that it will be a seriously long-lived wine. Excellent. 95-97 points.” Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

DP | ||||
Tasting NotesSmoky dark fruits and a meaty, savoury character on the nose. Dominique says a good deal of the smokiness is from the barrels (Seguin Moreau, 15% new) so this will no doubt decrease in intensity. Powerful tannins (as in 2017) but with a richer vein of dark fruit behind them. RKL "The 2018 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge has a ripe black cherry and cassis bouquet that is intense but manages to retain just enough freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with red cherry and strawberry mixed with a touch of gingerbread and pain d'épices, leading to a fleshy, easygoing finish. Fine. 86-88 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

IB | ||||
Tasting NotesFrom a tiny plot next to the Musigny Grand Cru. The location shows in the grand cru levels of intensity of aroma and length on the palate, with tremendous mineral character. Will need 5-7 years to begin to show itself. RKL "There are two used barrels of the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Borniques 1er Cru this year. It has a deep inky color. The bouquet is rather marked by the wood, although it is much more assimilated on the palate, which shows impressive energy and balance.

Tasting NotesRiper and more fruit forward than Les Charmes, with meaty-savoury aromas and powerful black fruits. Easy, accessible and very juicy on the palate at the moment. The fruit is the star of this wine...a "crowd-pleaser" and a definite 'buy'.

The palate is medium-bodied with dark-chocolate-tinged red fruit, and here the oak is a little dominant toward the sucrous finish. The Charmes might be the better long-term bet. 91-93 points" points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

Planted at a very high density, 10,000 vines per hectare. 25-30% new oak. Earthy humus aromas, with beautiful dark black fruits.

Tasting NotesStrong family resemblance to the Grands Voyens, but with the intensity turned up by way of that limestone minerality and slightly more purity of crunchy red and black fruit.

Tasting NotesVery fresh with lovely, lively acidity and an exceptional core of pure fruit. Aromas somewhat muted at this tasting as kieselguhr filtered in the winery yesterday. RKL "Bottled. Light cherry red with a healthy glow. Rich, sweet, marrons glacés nose. Here the opulence of the fruit almost masks the tannic structure (cf the village Pommard) but it should reward ageing.

Tasting NotesAn immediate impression of elegance from the fruit aromas on the nose, with a delicacy to the raspberry and cherry notes. Also something meaty and savoury underlying the fruit, a very classic Côte de Beaune aroma which suggests a village level wine rather than generic bourgogne. Some firm and structured tannins on the palate which are nevertheless very polished. On second tasting after an hour, the fruit has filled out on the palate, suggesting this will continue to flesh out over the next 6-12 months. RKL "Thierry Pillot's Chassagne-sourced Bourgogne Rouge is always one of the bargains in his outstanding range, which is mostly focused on white wines. Made with 40% whole bunches and aged in 15% new wood, it has juicy old-vine concentration, floral, pepper spice red cherry and bramble fruit and good depth of flavour for a generic Pinot Noir.

Traditionally thought of as inferior to the higher parts, the warming climate means ripeness levels are increasing and the location is becoming a positive advantage. Pleasingly approachable for Clos Vougeot, ripe black fruits, spice and with earth, coffee and mineral notes adding complexity. Mid-weight for this grand cru but suspect it will flesh out with age, drinking from 2027. RKL |

Tasting NotesFermented in stainless steel. No new oak used in the elevage, all 1st year barrels. Mid-intensity colour, aromas of cherry, kirsch, violets, raspberry and earth. Much more expressive on the nose than in previous vintages (save perhaps for 2017). Succulent fruit which fans out on the mid-palate, backed up by fresh acidity and structured tannins. Length is excellent for this level. Vvv good! RKL |

Tasting NotesVery intense raspberry and red fruit character on the nose, despite the intensity and concentration on the palate (one might have expected more black fruits). The fruit character here in 2019 is perfumed rather than giving any suggestion of heat or over-ripeness. This is 'on the fruit' a the moment but there is a very good structure behind this, with less rustic tannins and a silkier texture than in cooler vintages. RKL |

Tasting NotesThe Laroze de Drouhin label signifies wines made at the domaine but from fruit bought from vineyards owned by the Drouhin's friends and neighbours. Intense and ripe blackcurrant aromas on the nose, almost confected; but still with enough on the nose to suggest some complex ageing potential. The palate is extremely accomplished; huge succulent black fruit but vv fresh, vv good acidity, soft but full tannins, this could convert claret drinkers to Burgundy. The softness of the tannins does not suggest huge longevity, but let’s not worry about that, there is masses of immediate to medium term enjoyment on offer! RKL |

IB | |||||
Tasting NotesThe first time we tasted his Hautes Côte de Nuits, Dominique commented that growers are increasingly looking at plots at the tops of their slopes. Labelled as 'Hautes Côtes', they often echo the style of the nearby village. The 2019 from cask is a little dominated by oak aromas at present (to be expected) but there is underlying fruit which will assert itself with a couple of years in bottle. The tannins are very fine, finer than in the last two vintages. Silky and concentrated rather than rustic power this year. RKL |

Tasting NotesFrom a small plot of vines in Chambolle. Dark brambly fruits on the nose, cherry jam, well-integrated oak and some heady floral (rose petal) aromas too. Notable intensity and depth for a generic bourgogne. On the palate there is a great density and texture, with already silky tannins. Only the moderate length would mark this out as a bourgogne rather than a higher classification if tasted blind; otherwise this is a lot of wine for the money. RKL |

Tasting NotesFrom 60-80 year-old vines. Dark blackcurrant, kirsch and some raspberry aromas, but rather closed on the nose at present. The tannins are extremely fine, a step change from the previous two wines. Also some stony minerality and a long progression on the palate to mark the change up. On a second tasting after some air, the velvety tannins are even more the focal point. RKL |

Tasting NotesA beautiful walled vineyard site (in the centre of the photo below, just in front of the woods). All 5 ha are owned by Jeannin-Naltet, making this a 'monopole'. Planted at a very high density, 10,000 vines per hectare. 25-30% new oak. Dark fruit character on the nose, even some cassis notes, with lovely purity and intensity. Complexity and depth apparent. Lovely richness in the mouth with dark, almost Cote de Nuits fruit flavours. Ripe tannins and balanced acidity. After the immediacy of the entry it (surprisingly) shows a good level of elegance and finesse on the finish. (Linear). RKL |

IB | ||||
Tasting NotesFrom vines planted in 1934, 1971, 1985. Les Chgampans is a limestone terroir which imparts a chalky character to the tannins, fresh acidity and an underlying minerality. This is really electric on the palate, with lots of freshness but also great depth to the ripe red fruits. Despite the terroir this is the most open and approachable Champans I have tried, and yet there still seems to be lots of complex tannic structure in the background which will develop over 5-7 years.

Tasting NotesThe village Volnay is from old vines, averaging 50 years of age. These are spread across several parcels totalling under 2 hectares. with an average age of 50 years.

Tasting NotesDark black fruits, deep and intense on the nose, super supple tannins, lots of tensile energy and really great concentration on the mid-palate. RKL "The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Baudes 1er Cru shakes off a little reduction to reveal more black fruit compared to the Feusselottes, broodier and distinctly marine-influenced. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of licorice on the entry and a long, sweet finish. There is some oak here to be subsumed, but I like the weight and density in the mouth. Give it three or four years in bottle to absorb the wood. 2024 - 2040. 91-93 points." Neal Martin, Vinous.com, Dec 2020 "Aromas of raspberries, rose petals, sweet soil tones and warm spices introduce the 2019 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes (Domaine Gagey), a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and elegantly muscular wine with a concentrated core of fruit, ripe tannins and a long, sapid finish.

Tasting Notes"The 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, matured in 50% new oak, comes across a little tight and awkward on the nose compared to the other three Grand Crus that I tasted from the appellation; it never quite coheres.

RKL "The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is very tight on the nose and needed more encouragement from the glass to reveal sultry black fruit mixed with melted tar and light sous-bois aromas.

Tasting NotesThis is quite closed on the nose, especially the fruit, but there is an impressive whiff of gunsmoke, herbal aromas, and a gamey character suggesting all sorts of complexity. The overall impression is of super-ripe red and black fruits with plenty of freshness, but the potential is there for this to become a Gevrey of real stature in five to seven years. RKL "The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is surprisingly reticent at first, offering quite strong earthy aromas and gradually opening with sage, thyme and mint. I feel that compared to the other Clos Saint-Jacques, the aromatics never quite click into fifth gear. The palate is medium-bodied with the best backbone of the four Gevrey Premier Crus tasted from Jadot. Spicy black pepper and clove notes furnish the middle and the finish, which feels sustained and persistent, yet I wonder whether it will have the unadulterated charm of the Les Cazetiers when in bottle. We will find out soon. 2024 - 2042. 92-94 points." Neal Martin, Vinous.com, Dec 2020 |

Tasting NotesSmoky, deep and open on the nose, red and blue fruits, raspberry, kirsch, herbal and very intense. A superb start.
