Pinot Noir from Beaune, Côte du Beaune
A ripe yet agreeably fresh nose freely reveals its aromas of mostly red berries and discreet spice elements. The sleek, delicious and vibrant middle weight flavors conclude in a dusty bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that exhibits solid length if only average depth. As such, at least a few years of keeping are recommended.Allen Meadows, Burghound 89 PointsNote: from a 1.3 ha holding
Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune
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.The 2016 Les Rugien is exceptional. Darker, tighter and more structured than the Epenots while there is an extra edge to the tannins they are of very high quality. The oak is handled well again with just a fine sweep across nose and palate, nothing overt or distracting from a won
Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune
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. A build in tannin weight over La Platiere with extra layers, a gentle sweep
Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune
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
Pinot Noir from Nuits-Saint-Georges, Côte-de-Nuits
THE Nuits Vineyard! Notes of dark berries, cherries, sweet spices, rose petals and smoked duck preface the 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant wine with a concentrated core of fruit, tangy acids and powdery tannins.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 92-94 BH 89-92
Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits
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 […]
Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba, Barolo
The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Mosconi is structured, linear and ultimately quite mineral in character compared to the Cannubi. Its firm underlying architecture is rendered light and fragrant thanks to aromas of blue flower, grilled herb (with both rosemary and aniseed) and pulverized stone. Fruit comes from a site in Monforte d'Alba at a cool 370 meters in elevation. I came back to this bottle 24 hours after my first tasting and remarked on the elegant, chalky nature of the ta
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
"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'

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits
‘Poissenot’ is situated above Lavaux St Jacques on the northern ridge of Gevrey. ‘Poissenot’ is situated above Lavaux St Jacques on the northern ridge of Gevrey. 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
"The 2016 Barolo Bricco Pernice is absolutely gorgeous. The pedigree of the year comes through in the wine's depth and stature. What a knockout. Ripe black cherry, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice, orange peel and rose petal are some of the many aromas and flavors that develop as the 2016 opens in the glass. Readers should be in no rush here. The 2017 is absolutely stellar."Antonio Galloni, Vinous
Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo
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
