Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Grand Cru Clos de la Roche 2020

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Grand Cru Clos de la Roche 2020

Pinot Noir | Morey-Saint-Denis, Burgundy

A perfumed and exceptionally pretty nose combines notes of dark raspberry, exotic tea and a broad range of floral elements. The succulent, refined and admirably punchy medium weight plus flavors possess excellent delineation and a taut muscularity that becomes more prominent on the saline and bitter pit fruit-suffused finale. This well-balanced and very promising effort that delivers first-rate length. 2032+ (from a .32 ha parcel)Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Grand Cru Chames-Chambertin 2022

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Grand Cru Chames-Chambertin 2022

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

An expansively floral-suffused red berry fruit nose is nuanced by hints of earth, the sauvage, underbrush and a barely perceptible touch of wood. There is reasonably good volume and density to the medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent depth and persistence on the youthfully austere and decidedly compact finale. Patience strongly suggested here as well. (from a .26 ha parcel in Mazoyères) 2034+Allen Meadows, Burghound (92-95) Points

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru 'Charmes-Chambertin' 2020
The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has turned out especially well, wafting from the glass with aromas of peonies, sweet wild berries, orange rind, loamy soil and rose petals. Full-bodied, layered and seamless, with velvety tannins and an ample core of vibrant, perfumed fruit, it concludes with a long, seamless finish. This may well emerge as Lignier's finest Charmes of the 2018, 2019 and 2020 trio.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 93-95+

Domaine de Montille Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Aux Malconsorts' 2022
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, once again the nose is overtly floral in character with its exuberantly spicy nose of various dark berries, soy, exotic tea and sandalwood. The sleek, intense and delineated flavors are at once refined yet powerful with a taut muscularity becoming more apparent on the dusty, youthfully austere and stony finish that is compact and very serious. Patience. (from a .97 ha holding; 80% whole clusters). Drink: 2034+ ♥ Don’t miss! OutstandingAllen

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Grand Cru Clos de la Roche 2022

Pinot Noir | Morey-Saint-Denis, Burgundy

There is an interesting hint of smoked meat character to the spicy plum, newly turned earth and softly floral-scented nose. Once again there is an appealing texture to the broad-shouldered and muscular flavors that possess fine volume before concluding in a very firmly structured and impressively long finale. This too could use better depth but this should make for impressive old bones if given a chance. (from a .32 ha parcel) 2037+Allen Meadows, Burghound (93-95) Points

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Grand Cru Echezeaux 2022

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Grand Cru Echezeaux 2022

Pinot Noir | Vosne-Romanée, Burgundy

This is the first wine to display any meaningful level of reduction and here it’s enough to push the fruit to the background. By contrast there is a lovely sense of verve and freshness on the palate of the sleek but intense and generously proportioned medium weight plus flavors that coat the mouth on the sneaky long finish. While this could use better depth, the underlying material is such that more is all but guaranteed to develop. (from a .11 ha parcel in Poullailères). 2034+Allen Mead

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Grand Cru Bonnes-Mares 2020
Here too the nose is overtly floral in character with its layered blend of red and dark raspberry, warm earth and discreet spice wisps. There is again very fine mid-palate density to the slightly bigger-bodied tension-filled flavors that flash evident muscle and power on the moderately austere, firmly structured and impressively long finish. Patience strongly advised. 2035+ (from a .24 ha mix of two-thirds terres rouges and one-third terres blanches).Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-94 Points

Domaine de la Vougeraie Grand Cru 'Bâtard-Montrachet' 2022

Domaine de la Vougeraie Grand Cru ‘Bâtard-Montrachet’ 2022

Chardonnay | Puligny-Montrachet, Burgundy

Generous but not dominant wood sets off intensely floral-suffused aromas of white peach, spice, acacia and citrus confit. The palate impression of the medium-bodied flavors is not as dense, mineral-driven or powerful but they are still impressive, especially in the context of having even better depth and persistence. This is a stylish and ageworthy Bâtard. (from a .38 ha holding divided into 3 parcels, two of which are on the Chassagne side and the remainder on the Puligny side of the divide) 2

Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC MAGNUM 2019

Bordeaux Blend | Bolgheri, Italy

Ornellaia is undoubtedly the refined lady of the estate. The reviews for the 2019 are full of superlatives. Hope to get a little of this in a glass soon.For a long time I was unconvinced wines made from French varieties made in Italy. One wine stands out as changing my mind, 1990 Ornellaia, thanks Lou!Beautifully balanced and poised it was poured at an open wine night where the only criterion was that it had to be bloody good!62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% C

Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Saint-Georges' 2022
This is spicier still with its broad-ranging nose of red and dark pinot fruit, violet and herbal tea, all of which is trimmed by soft wood influence. There is a bit more minerality present on the vibrant and lavishly rich medium weight flavors that possess excellent power that carries over to the firm and tautly muscular finish that is balanced and long plus it’s less austere than usual. Lovely. 2032+ ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound (91-94) Points JM 96It hard to talk about

Domaine de la Vougeraie Grand Cru 'Beinvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet' 2022
Here the elegant nose is cooler and more restrained with a much more discreet application of wood framing the layered spicy aromas of honeysuckle, white peach and a variety of floral nuances. The notably more refined and beautifully textured flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration before terminating in a persistent, balanced and markedly dry finale that is unusually powerful. This BBM is terrific and classy, indeed it’s impressively poised for such a young wine. (from a .46 ha holdi

Roagna Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti MAGNUM 2016

Roagna Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti MAGNUM 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

The 2015 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti captures everything that makes Nebbiolo so seductive. The 2016 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti is an exotic, totally beguiling wine laced with super-classic Nebbiolo notes of rose petal, orange peel, cinnamon and macerated cherry. Aromatic, sensual and constantly changing in the glass, the Pajè Vecchie Viti is everything Nebbiolo and Barbaresco are supposed to be. The complexity here is just unreal.Antonio Galloni, Vinous
