  1. Domaine de Bellene Beaune Greves 1er 2021
    Domaine de Bellene Beaune Greves 1er 2021

    Vines planted in 1904. Mid slope on shallow soils. Cask sample.
    Mid-deep ruby. Raspberry, cassis and small black berries. Concentrated and rich, lovely texture. Woven silk. www.jancisrobinson.com

    There is very good color to the exuberantly floral-suffused nose, in particular violet, that is comprised mostly by notes of black cherry and earth that are trimmed in discreet wood influence. There is excellent density and vibrancy to the bigger bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the dusty and bitter chocolate-inflected finish. This well-made effort is very much built to age and I would recommend not touching a bottle for at least 7 to 8 years. (Outstanding) BURGHOUND

    This vineyard was purchased in 2021 but the exploitant continues to run the vines for the moment. Lighter in colour, with a prettily perfumed nose. Really stylish, with grace length and elegance. JASPER MORRIS, Inside Burgundy

    Domaine de Bellene Nuits St Georges Chaignots 1er 2021

    This is also exuberantly floral in character with notes of rose petal, lilac, and violet on the earthy red berry fruit aromas though there is a hint of volatile acidity lurking in the background. The rich, velvety and seductively textured medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the firm, serious and youthfully austere finish. (OUTSTANDING) - BURGHOUND

    Cask sample. Mid cherry. Quite floral on the nose, with red cherries and rose. Medium-plus body and suave tannins contrast with something totally open and immediately approachable. This is very tasty. Lovely with a lifted, floral finish. www,jancisrobinson.com

    A very ripe nose reluctantly offers up notes of roasted plum, warm earth and cassis. The suave, concentrated and sappy larger-scaled flavors coat the palate with dry extract while the powerful and serious finish reflects nuances of warm and wood. Patience strongly suggested. BURGHOUND

    Domaine de Bellene Nuits St Georges Chaignots 1er 2020
    Step up again here. While Chaignots is in Nuits St Georges, it hugs the boundary of Vosne Romanee and so much of this wine presents the best of both those communes. Turned earth, background wood and red into blue fruits vie frame a lovely opening aromatic. The palate is rich and supple but there's also a lively vein running through it making  stand up across the palate - suppleness and energy a great combination. Lingering fine, silty tannins draw a boundary around the red fruit and wood spice. It's full of life this wine. Great drinking but also there's loads of background structure tucked in behind the fruit to make it an excellent cellaring proposition. MICHAEL MCNAMARA, PWS

  13. Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee 2015
    Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee 2015
    80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir from vines averaging 60 years old, the wine spends nearly 6 years on lees. Most importantly only the heart of the pressing is taken - 1400 litres instead of the usual 2100 litres, hence the name 'coeur de cuvee.'
    The 2015 Brut Coeur de Cuvée is a pretty dense wine that belies its deceptively mid-weight structure. What surprises me most about the 2015 is how closed it is. In most years, especially warm years, Coeur de Cuvée is quite a bit more open and voluptuous, but the 2015 does not come across like that at all. Rather, it is super-classic in bearing, with tons of gravitas from the 60-year-old vines just waiting to emerge. There are none of the awkward herbal notes that penalize so many wines. Bright saline notes extend the finish effortlessly. The 2015 is a brilliant Coeur de Cuvée. ANTONIO GALLONI

    Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean Rouge 2022
    A more elegant, and more floral-suffused, nose reflects notes of red berry fruit compote that is certainly ripe but stops short of being jammy. There is a more refined texture to the middleweight flavors thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins shaping the balanced and lingering finale. As pretty as this is, it does need to develop better depth so at least a few years of conservation should be a positive. BURGHOUND

  18. Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee 2016
    Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee 2016
    The 2016 Brut Coeur de Cuvée is an elegant, sensual Champagne. In other words, classic Vilmart. Crushed flowers, mint, chalk, slate, dried herbs and citrus peel are all beautifully delineated. Brisk acids wrap it all together in style. The 2016 needs a few years to be at its most expressive, as it is pretty reserved today. Even so, all the elements are impeccably put together. The barrels used here are one to three years old. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: September, 2022. (94+) ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

    Notes of honeysuckle and lime blossoms, blood orange peel, anise and cardamom are a fragrant overtone heralding this fresh Champagne, which shows good tension and drive. The refined, chalky mousse is lacy in texture, buoying finely meshed flavors of ripe apricot and quince paste, raw almond, vanilla wafer and candied ginger. Ends with a long, mouthwatering finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Disgorged September 2022. Drink now through 2036. (95) WINE SPECTATOR

  20. Jean-Luc Burguet Gevrey Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er 2021
    Jean-Luc Burguet Gevrey Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er 2021

    Champeaux is their prized vineyard with the same east-facing exposure as Clos St Jacques (which sits just 50m away).
    The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Champeaux 1er Cru stands out in this range, with its striking bouquet redolent of deep spice and floral notes. Macerated cherry, spice, freshly cut flowers and licorice all take shape, lifted by bright acids that confer notable energy. A few years in bottle will help this come together a bit more fully. ANTONIO GALLONI

    …the palate impression of the medium weight flavors is fresh, bright and energetic with good detail and volume that continues onto the more overtly mineral-driven if also more austere finale. Promising. BURGHOUND

    An exuberantly floral-suffused nose speaks mainly of spicy red and dark pinot fruit scents. The middleweight flavors are not especially dense but they possess a positively gorgeous texture that is at once punchy but lilting, all wrapped in a refined, balanced and impressively long finale. This is lovely with the potential to match. 94 BURGHOUND

    From a .092 ha parcel of 50+ year old vines that typically yield about 1 ¼ barrels
    Here the brooding and very fresh nose reflects notes of leather, earth, game and ripe dark currant scents. There is excellent energy and delineation to the even more mineral-driven larger-scaled flavors that flash good power and a taut muscularity on the youthfully austere and serious finale. Good stuff that should reward at least a decade or so of keeping and a wine that will need at a minimum of 5 to 6 years. Outstanding, BURGHOUND

    This is aromatically similar to the Vosne villages with just a bit more wood influence. The super-sleek and sophisticated middle weight flavors are even more intensely mineral-driven while displaying excellent length on the youthfully austere finale. This is really quite classy though unlike the villages it is sufficiently structured that it will definitely need at least 5 to 7 years first and reward a decade plus. "Outstanding" BURGHOUND

    The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru offers one of my favourite bouquets from Faiveley in this vintage: open redcurrant and wild strawberry scents, touches of sous-bois and truffle, very expressive and charming. The palate is well balanced with finely-chiselled tannins, quite energetic, perhaps because compared to their Les Cazetiers, this was barely touched by the frost. Almost confit-like on the finish.

    Just under the Grand Cru Mazoyeres ou Charmes, limestone base here. The average vine age, like all of Groffiers sites, is very old, around 60 years here. The soil is sandy resulting in super fine tannins and sappy, bright fruit. Nicolas says “the soil here is deep, but it’s not loud”.
    It’s overall impression is one of vibrancy and freshness. So pure and red fruited with lovely florality. A certain crunchy element sets off the super vibrant palate. A vein of saline minerality. Long, subtly broadening out on the finish suggesting further richness to come with time. Gorgeous and good Premier Cru Gevrey quality here. Excellent. ROSCOE

    The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées has a lovely bouquet that exudes Pinoté, very pure and delineated, with seamlessly integrated oak—perhaps touching Premier Cru in quality. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry. Tensile, with vibrant, slightly tart red fruit and a slight herbaceous edge on the finish (doubtlessly emanating from the stem addition), this is quite an absorbing Gevrey-Chambertin. I am intrigued to see it age, despite its openness and pliant tannins. Give this at least two years in bottle. The 2022 is certainly in a different league than the previous vintage. NEAL MARTIN

    The Gevrey has been made with 20% new wood and one third whole bunch. Fresh mid purple. The fruit on the nose is a little showier than the Bourgogne, perhaps the proportion of younger vines, perhaps the whole bunches. Super fruit on the palate, energetic fresh raspberries with cherries behind, rounded, long generous with a pleasing crunch JASPER MORRIS MW

    From vines planted in 1937. Cask sample. 
    Cask sample. Intense, concentrated, so youthful but has so much future ahead. An impressive Vosne premier cru. Masses of extract, concentration, fine wood, bright acidity and purity on the finish. Leafy, dark-berry notes. A joyous example which will age for many decades. www.jancisrobinson.com

    Here the nose is clean and bright with its ripe and lightly mentholated aromas of black cherry liqueur, spice and floral scents. The rich, suave and seductively textured flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract while delivering solid length on the powerful, dusty and firm finale. This is not a Suchots of finesse but it doesn't lack for character. BURGHOUND - = OUTSTANDING

    A markedly more elegant blend features notes of admirably pure red and dark pinot fruit, violet and subtle spice nuances. The sleek, intense and precise middle weight flavors exude noticeable salinity on the lingering, balanced and nicely harmonious finish. Lovely and very Chambollesque. OUTSTANDING. BURGHOUND

    Jean-Luc & Eric Burguet Vosne Romanee Rouge Dessus 1er 2021

    The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges des Dessus is airy and light on its feet. The understated side of the year comes through in a gracious, mid-weight Vosne that offers fine balance in the smaller-scaled style of the year. ANTONIO GALLONI

    Moderate wood sets off ultra-fresh, cool and spicy aromas of red cherry, exotic tea and lovely floral wisps. The utterly delicious, detailed and tautly muscular medium weight flavors flash ample minerality on the moderately austere finale that offers even better depth and persistence. This firmly structured effort isn't especially refined but there is clearly a bit more here. OUTSTANDING, BURGHOUND

    Like previous vintages this is on the darker side of the spectrum but the fruit remains upbeat and sappy in the mouth. Considerable tannins provide the framework while notes of spice, turned earth and a dusting of pepper waft from the glass. It is a little reserved at the moment, that’s to be expected, but the sumptuousness and creaminess of the very old vine fruit, the line of acidity that adds the fresh, sappy elements, those solid but beautifully formed tannins and bead of minerality that bursts through the palate, they all tell a story of a beautifully composed wine, raised by a master of his craft, that should develop wonderfully for at least a decade or so, probably much more. The final flush of florality and mineral laced fruit is enough to excite anyone who loves Burgundy.
    If anyone asks why we persist with the Hospice wines, then they need to try this. Excellent stuff from Mr Leroux, again. ROSCOE
