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

“The 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella is a sleeping giant, darkly alluring with dried violets, dusty black currants, shaved cedar and lifting hints of mint. This is sleek and cool-toned in feel—lifted yet intense and savoury to the core, with masses of mineral-tinged dark red fruits and balsamic tones carried across a core of zesty acidity… This is just a baby today and in need of serious cellaring, yet the potential is off the charts.

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

Billecart-Salmon JEROBOAM 3L 2008

Blend | Vallée de la Marne, Champagne

Categorically the finest Extra Brut ever conceived, this is a cuvee of laser line and immortal structure that rejoices in the lightning energy of 2008 and the exacting precision engineering that is Billecart. A glowing, medium straw hue is a dazzling prelude to its scintillating purity and drive, cut with magnificent acid line and high-tensile chalk structure. The distinguished, north-east facing slopes of Verzy and Verzenay take a delightfully fragrant and pure lead, presenting white cherry and

"The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is showing very well, unwinding in the glass with a deep bouquet of red berries, cherries and cassis mingled with hints of smoked meats, black truffle and loamy soil. Full-bodied, concentrated and enveloping, its ample core of lively fruit is framed by a muscular chassis of ripe, powdery tannins."William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

"Deeper and more structured than the Griotte, Lignier's 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with notes of blackcurrants, cherries, sweet soil tones, wilted rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, it's ample and voluminous, with velvety tannins, succulent acids and a broad, expansive finish."William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

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+

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

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

Henriques & Henriques Terrantez 1976

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
