Pinot Noir from Morey-Saint-Denis, Côte-de-Nuits

Stéphane Magnien Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru ‘Les Faconnières’ 2022

There's a great purity & vibrancy to Magnien's wines. His Faconnières is superb! This is even more floral-suffused with its elegant, cool and airy aromas of mostly red and dark pinot fruit that is nuanced by hints of spice and earth. The delicious and intensely mineral-driven larger-scaled flavors also brim with sappy dry extract that serves to buffer the firm tannic spine shaping the powerful and lingering finish where the only nit is a hint of backend warmth.

Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Chambolle-Musigny 2021

Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, plums, petals and forest floor, the 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Village is medium-bodied, supple and vibrant, with lively acids, attractive purity of fruit and a long, saline finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 88-90 Points BH 87-90

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Mes Cinq Terroirs’ 2020

This is Mortet’s ‘super Gevrey’ and comes from a clutch of five brilliantly placed plots that Denis Mortet deliberately chose for the quality of their terroirs and vines. The vineyards include En Motrot, situated between the church and Château de Gevrey-Chambertin close to Clos Saint-Jacques; Au Vellé, very close-by under Petits Cazetiers; Combe-du-Dessus, situated at the top of the Brochon slope just north-east of Gevrey itself; En Champs directly below Gevrey’s 1er Cru Champeaux (the

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Mes Cinq Terroirs’ 2022

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin "Mes Cinq Terroirs" comes from the north of the appellation and includes one-third of whole bunches due to the acidity being lower than the Marsannay. It has a beautiful bouquet like last year, pure with raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, superb mineralité and vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with dark berry fruit, Earl Grey and light tertiary scents, very cohesive with a persistent finish. This should age extremely well in bottle." Neal Martin, Vinous 92-94

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Louis Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Champonnet’ 2017

An equally restrained nose combines both upper and lower register elements that include red cherry and pomegranate with those of plum, earth and forest floor. There is notably better concentration, power and punch to the broad-shouldered flavors that possess evident muscularity and minerality on the compact and serious finale that delivers sneaky good length. A Gevrey 1er of relative refinement. ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows

Pinot Noir from Vosne-Romanée, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Vosne-Romanée 2019

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Village is also very promising, mingling aromas of cassis and raspberries with hints of dark chocolate, rose hips and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant, it's deep and layered, with powdery structuring tannins and a long, sapid finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 90-92 Points BH 89-91 NM 88-90

Aromas of cherries, cassis, sweet spices, rose petals and loamy soil introduce the 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Village, a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated wine that's lively and mineral. From the usual eleven parcels, dotted around the appellation, this is a fine success.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 89-91 Points BH 89-91 NM 88-90

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Cavallotto Barolo Riserva ‘Vignolo’ 2012

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. Grab a bottle of Cavallotto's 2012 Barolo Riserva 'Vigna San Guiseppe' for comparis

Pinot Noir from Volnay, Côte du Beaune

Benjamin Leroux Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans 2020

‘Mitans’ derives from the old French for centre, and this is likely the source of the name as this Cru lies at the heart of the appellation (on the slopes beneath the village). This 0.65-hectare parcel is close to the Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre and encroaches into the Mitans l’Ormeau lieu-dit. The soil here is fine clay shot through with limestone, and the vines are, on average, 50 years old. Just a pinch of whole bunch this year. Les Mitans is considered one of the most elegan

Rhône Blend from Châteauneuf du Pape, Southern Rhône

Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020

"A blend of 55% Grenache, 35% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah and other permitted varieties, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape looked exceptional on this day, offering up scents of framboise and kirsch alongside dried flowers and Asian spices. Full-bodied yet weightless, silky and long, this is special stuff, complex and balanced. "The phenolic maturity is there, the sugars are there," Avril said. "No, it won't be like 2019, but I think we will come in around 14.5–15 degrees [of alcohol]. I think, I don'

Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont

Vietti Barolo MAGNUM 2021

Show the class of the vineyards and the winemakers! Excellent Barolo. The delicacy and restraint here is exceptional. The core of transparent fruit is insane. Depth, purity and such incredible clarity. A soft hand yields incredibly fine, long, even nutty tannin. Showing wonderful expression and generosity in its youth. Plenty more to come with time in bottle. Flowers, blood orange, rhubarb, red fruits. Mid-palate tannin of exceptional quality. A dark broody layer folded in. Impeccable blending.
