95pts Wine Advocate The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is beautiful, bursting with aromas of sweet raspberries and plums mingled with rose petals, blood orange and subtle notions of lavender and potpourri. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it s deep and layered, with a multidimensional core of fruit, supple tannins and a saline finish. Jérôme Flous…
Winemaker Notes Faiveley s Vieilles Vignes (old vines) are over thirty years old and produce an exceptionally aromatic wine that offers a true reflection of its Mercurey terroirs. The palate reveals a smooth, fruity attack and evolves towards notes of ripe red berries and a touch of vanilla. An intensely aromatic wine with a delicate…
Winemaker s Notes The nose evokes notes of violets, red and black berries. The fleshy palate with superbly integrated tannins completes the experience by providing a more structured dimension. Aging on wood delicately softens this magnificent B ourgogne Epineuil by designing a Pinot Noir from northern Burgundy which will evolve wonderfully to reveal its full…
Winemaker Notes Les Genevrieres glows light red in the glass, yielding aromas of tart cranberry, ripe strawberry, and hints of brown spices. On the palate, soft cherry fruit eases into fleshed-out raspberry elements. The finish is bright and elongated, tying together a very charming, easy-to-drink Burgundy. Winemaker Notes Domaine Frédéric Esmonin, from Burgundy s Gevrey-Chambertain…
95pts Jasper Morris A fresh mid purple. The bouquet is very distinguished, not too ripe, the main fruit is raspberry but properly nuanced. As with all the Grivot wines this year it starts nicely and then swells to an extra dimension further back. Entirely red fruit with a little clean white pepper, very persistent. Fine.Barrel…
Winemaker Notes From ten small parcels of 20-60 year old vines. Les Tremblot, ( more Puligny in character, as the soil is argileous, says Jean-Louis); Les Meix, Les Levrons (more rounded wine for there are more stones and gravel here and it is not so heavy), Corvée des Vignes and Les Reuchaux. These small vineyard…
95pts Inside Burgundy Picked between 2nd and 5th September. A very pretty clean lemon and lime. The oak is very well integrated into the classy nose. Plenty of energy but also light on its feet for Morgeot without betraying the appellation, and the fruit persists particularly well on the palate. Drink from 2030-2037. 94pts Robert…
90pts James Suckling Both ripe and fresh, this prototypical Macon chardonnay shows notes of lemon curd, lemon balm and licorice. Excellent balance on the moderately creamy palate, then a long lively and slightly flinty finish. Winemaker Notes The 2021 Mâcon-Lugny Les Genièvres has a pale gold color. Its nose, rich and opulent, reveals floral, fruity…
Wine Enthusiast This wine is all about crisp, tightly textured fruit. Green apple, lime and white stone fruit mingle together in this bright wine that s ready to drink. ROGER VOSS Winemaker Notes White fleshy fruit, lively, pure and ripe. Both at the level of the vines and at the level of the wines, our…
Winemaker Notes White Burgundy is typified by aromas and flavors of green apple and lemon and is defined by its structure and expression of minerality. White Burgundy vinified in stainless-steel tanks will emphasize its freshness, while aging in French oak barrels can lend accents of toast and vanilla.
Winemaker Notes The Bouzeron vineyard is located on either side of a very old valley that is partly exposed to the west, which enchants the Aligoté grape variety. “Clos de la Fortune” is among the most famous climats. Its southeast exposure is excellent. The name of this climat should be taken literally! It comes from…

Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy is a Burgundian legend who needs no introduction. With her family’s 50% ownership in Domaine Romanée-Conti, she has access to the best of the best in the Côte d’Or….
Importer Notes A golden dress. The nose is subtle with a nice freshness around citrus fruits and yellow orchard fruits. Then come more vegetal, floral, iodine, beeswax and fresh pastry notes. On the palate, a lively attack on the citrus fruit mixed with a beautiful amplitude where fat, greediness and roundness mingle. The finish is…
Winemaker Notes Two characteristics dominate this wine: it is extremely soft and extremely easy-drinking. It s less exuberant on the nose than the Marsannay, but more velvety on the palate, silkier and, believe it or not, very long. Overall, it has a lot of charm, and has won the hearts of numerous wine-lovers, including the…
