Domaine Ponsot Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2014

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

A super elegant nose, ultra-pure essence of red berries, violet, plum, spice & floral nuances. Excellent volume & serious punch. a caressing mouth feel on the lightly mineral-inflected finish. Our first allocation of Ponsot’s Chapelle-Chambertin outside of his famous ‘mixed box’. The stats are similar to the Griotte Grand Cru; a small parcel (60ha in this instance) of vines planted in 1990. The first Domaine bottling dates back to 1970, so this is a site well known to the Ponsot clan. In p

Domaine Ponsot Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru 2014

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

There is terrific intensity to the sleek and mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess fine size, weight & focused power on the saline finish where a touch of bitter cherry appears. Through a métayage arrangement since the early 1980s, Ponsot has just under a hectare of vines in En Griotte (the largest holding). Griotte is a tiny, 2.7 hectare site, completely surrounded by the other Grand Crus of Gevrey. The Ponsot’s vines are now 30 years old. It’s always fascinating to compare eac
The 2022 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, dark berries and cherries mingled with hints of peony, spice and a discreet framing of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's bright and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a penetrating finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 94-96 PointsJM 93-96A combination of more discreet wood influence and very fresh if restrained red berry f

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2022

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

The 2022 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is almost as elegant as the Latricières this year, soaring from the glass with scents of plums, raspberries, rose petals and spices, followed by a full-bodied, ample and perfumed palate that's seamless and refined, with terrific depth at the core, tangy acids and a long, rose-inflected finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 94-96 PointsJM 93-96Slightly more prominent wood influence is present on the ripe and admirably pure aromas of essen
"This is also quite firmly reduced and revealing nothing at present. On the palate though the slightly bigger flavors possess only a bit more volume but notably more power and particularly so on the even longer though not necessarily more complex finale. This is very classy juice with that sense of poise that all great wines seem to have. Very promising. Drink: 2036+ Don't miss! Outstanding ♥"Allen Meadows, Burghound
The 2022 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru is one of my favorite aromatics from Rousseau, one you instantly fall in love with - real frisson, red berry fruit laced with shucked oyster shell. The palate is very well-balanced, framed by filigree tannins. There is real tension from start to finish, as you expect from this vineyard, finishing with immense precision. Fabulous wine.Neal Martin, Vinous 96-98 Points Tasted Nov 2023 Drink 2028-2065An exuberantly spicy nose ref

Domaine Faiveley ‘Mazis Chambertin’ Grand Cru MAGNUM 2022

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Mazi is alway a favourite. Hugely long yet impeccably well-balanced! Toasty reduction knocks down the nose but there is fine freshness and richness to the suave and seductively textured bigger-bodied flavors that are generously proportioned while displaying both good tension and complexity on the impressively persistent and more powerful, if less refined, finish where a hint of wood appears. This isn’t quite as mineral-driven but save for a subtle touch of warmth, it’s beautifully balanced a

Domaine Nicole Lamarche ‘La Grande Rue’ Grand Cru 2019

Pinot Noir | Vosne-Romanée, Burgundy

Sometimes when your vineyard is surround that's OK especially when it's surrounded by DRC! I've had the pleasure of drinking La Grande Rue a couple of times. It's the benchmark wine of the estate that sits across a tiny laneway from LaTâche. La Grande Rue is sensual, feminine, with an incredible perfume, and silky texture. A special wine indeed.Vosne-Romanée tensd to be a bit of mixed bag of the haves and have nots. Lamarche is a have!Nicole, François' daughter has been in charge of t
 The expressive nose is aromatically similar to the regular cuvée if perhaps even a bit more floral. The sleek, powerful and concentrated larger-scaled flavors possess a sophisticated mouthfeel while exhibiting outstanding persistence on the overtly austere, compact and altogether serious finish. This is a ‘wow’ wine. (from a .48 ha parcel; 90% whole clusters). Drink 2034+ ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound 93-96 Points

Domaine Nicole Lamarche ‘La Grande Rue’ Grand Cru 2020

Pinot Noir | Vosne-Romanée, Burgundy

Sometimes when your vineyard is surround that's OK especially when it's surrounded by DRC! A more expressive nose freely offers up exceptionally pretty aromas that include the exuberantly spicy essence of various red berries, sandalwood and an interesting hint of orange pekoe tea. The richer but not as tightly wound medium weight flavors possess a borderline creamy mid-palate while the hugely long finish is youthfully austere but impeccably well-balanced. In a word, excellent.Burghound 93-95

Here too the nose is overtly floral in character though relative to the Les St. Georges the dark berry fruit aromas are much more exotic and spicier. The sleekly muscular, intense and broad-shouldered flavors possess outstanding mid-palate density and power before culminating in a robust, firmly structured and wonderfully complex finale where the only reproach is a touch of warmth. This is a rich and classically styled Richebourg that is very definitely built-to-age as it should be. Drink: 2036+

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Chambertin Grand Cru 2019

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

"Trapet's 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru is a profound wine in the making, and it can keeps company with vintage's finest. Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of cherries and cassis, complemented by notions of raw cocoa, blood orange, smoked meats, rich soil tones and spices, it's full-bodied, multidimensional and complete, with a weightless, elegant profile despite its prodigious concentration, its structuring tannins entirely concealed in an ample core of lively, vibrant fruit."William Kell
