Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er 'Les Épenots' 2016
There are 2 vineyards that are talked of when the best of Pommard is discussed. Les Épenots and Les Rugiens. It’s clear tasting Thierry's interpretations of these vineyards that there is merit in those discussion.WOW! This is very good. Seriously good. Again the vitality, stunning perfume, divine tannins of depth and style. The depth and drive through the finish of exceptional flavours. I am in a very happy place.

Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er 'Les Rugiens' 2017
As expected this is delicious, and that little bit more giving over the 2016. I’d go so far as to say it’s drinking well now, again like all of the wines of the estate I’ve tried, a little extra time will be its friend. While I say it is drinking well now, I mean as a young Burgundy, the metamorphisis that occurs with great Burgundy always requires time. It’ll be smack bang in the drinking window well before the 2016. This is a case of celebrating the difference not necessarily choosing

Domaine Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Les Combe Aux Moines' 2020
Faiveley is definitely a Domaine on the Ascention During the construction of the Château de Gevrey-Chambertin, the monks of Cluny would gather in the valley after a hard day of labouring the vineyards. The soils in this parcel are the same as in “Les Cazetiers” although the parcel is located slightly higher up. This truly is a remarkable terroir. Exposition North-East Soil Fossiliferous […]

Fratelli Alessandria Barolo 'Monvigliero' 2021
Fratelli Alessandria started bottling Monvigliero back in 1978. The 2021 Barolo Monvigliero (with 7,000 bottles released) is a wine of extreme elegance and grace. It shows wild berry, redcurrant, lilac and light spice. Fruit comes from a 1.4-hectare plot with south and southwest exposures on silty limestone soils. There is a pretty note of floral sweetness over polished tannins that makes for a lasting impression. Drink 2026-2042 Tasted June 2025.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 96+ Points

Domaine Tollot-Beaut Grand Cru 'Corton-Bressandes' 2018

Domaine Tollot-Beaut Grand Cru ‘Corton-Bressandes’ 2018

Pinot Noir | Savigny-lès-Beaune, France

"A brooding nose only reluctantly reveals its extremely fresh notes of plum, cassis, violets and pungent earth. There is a bit more volume to the powerful, concentrated and serious big-bodied flavors that evidence a lovely minerality on the mouth coating, firmly structured and strikingly long and beautifully well-balanced finish. This bad boy of a Bressandes is a knockout but one that is clearly going to require extended cellaring to soften what are presently resolute tannins." Drink: 2035+ Don'

The Poissenot is deeply colored, the nose is deep and alluring with black fruits, spice and a lick of new wood. The palate is loaded with fine grained and deeply structured tannins that coat the entire palate. Dripping with class this wine will reward long cellaring. Drink 2030-2050Tom Carson

Cavallotto Barolo Riserva 'Vignolo' 2015
Power + Elegance
Cavallotto's Riserva 'Vignolo' is such a delicious wine, poised, fragrant, such incredible layers of flavour & the rare seamless harmony only the greats seem to manage. Cavallotto are making beautiful wines of great presence, harmony and detail. The Riserva Vignolo is always a little bolder than the Riserva Vigna San Guiseppe. They both have that hallmark Castiglione tannin layered, supple and of line and length. “The 2015 Barolo Riserva Vignolo is a powerful, tightly wound wine that is going

Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er 'Les Épenots' 2018
Attractively layered aromas are comprised by wisps of cherry, red raspberry, spice and more prominent earth nuances. There is outstanding volume to the caressing middle weight flavors that also possess a lovely sense of underlying tension while delivering excellent persistence on the balanced finale. This too needs to add depth with time in bottle, but the material is here for that to occur. Fine potential here as well. ♥ Sweet spot Outstanding Drink 2030+Burghound, 93 PointsAnne P

Château Léoville-Barton 2015

Château Léoville-Barton 2015

Bordeaux Blend | Saint-Julien, Bordeaux

I absolutely loved the 2015 Léoville-Barton and this has everything you could want from a Left Bank Bordeaux. Cassis, smoked earth, graphite, tobacco leaf, and thrilling amounts of minerality all emerge from this inky colored, full-bodied, power-packed, brut of a Saint-Julien that holds everything together and stays pure, balanced and elegant on the palate. It has a lot of tannins, yet more than enough fruit. The 2015 is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot, brought up in 60% new Fr

It hard to talk about Nuits-Saint-Georges without talking about Henri Gouges. For near a century the Domaine has quietly been working away to expand their holding and continually improve their wines."A more deeply pitched and brooding nose only grudgingly reveals its aromas of cassis plum liqueur and pungent earth where the latter is also found on the vibrant and well-detailed big-bodied and tautly muscular flavors that deliver excellent depth and persistence.
