Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Chambolle-Musigny 2019

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

Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Chambolle-Musigny 2019

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

Cavallotto Barolo Riserva 'Vignolo' 2012
Power + Elegance

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

Benjamin Leroux Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans 2020

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

Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020

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'

Vietti Barolo MAGNUM 2021

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.

Domaine Joannes Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er 'Les Épenots' 2019

Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Joannes Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er ‘Les Épenots’ 2019

Revisited in bottle, the 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots is already very expressive, bursting with aromas of plums and raspberries mingled with peonies, rose petals, sweet spices and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, melting and sensual, it's charming and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit and a long, saline finish. It's so giving out of the gates that it wouldn't be a crime to open a bottle now. Drink 2021-2039William Kelley, 94 PointsAnne Parent describes 'Les Épenots' as

Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Joannes Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er ‘Les Rugiens’ 2019

The 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens has also turned out very well in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of plums, orange rind, peonies, exotic spices, loamy soil and cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, it's rich and textural, with lively acids and an ample core of fruit framed by ripe, powdery tannins. It, too, is very expressive out of the gates, to the point that readers shouldn't be afraid to try one young.William Kelley, 95 PointsAnne Parent describes 'L

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

Joseph Faiveley Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Charmes’ 2020

I had Faiveley's 2015 Latricières Chambertin recently, delicious, perfumed elegant and refined. Along with the 2015, I devoured a brace of 2016's from across the appellations. They are really stepping up their game, the investments in the vineyard and winery are a testament to this.The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes is perfumed and elegant, soaring from the glass with scents of roses, peonies, orange rind and sweet red berries.

Giovanni Sordo Barolo 'Monprivato' 2019

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Monprivato’ 2019

This is the best Monprivato Sordo has made. So I need to go and pop the cork on a 2016 and 2015 ... just to make sure! Sordo's Monprivato has moved up the ladder a couple of rungs this year.The pedigree of this vineyard sees it sitting alongside Villero as one of the finest Barolo vineyards. At ½ the price of Giuseppe Mascarello’s this is exceptional value. An elegance yet intensity, the delicacy that is the hallmark of Monprivato when on song is here. Some would use the term Burgundian,

Both Alex & Benoît made a Volnay 1er Cru Santenots in 2022.Officially located just south of the Volnay border in the commune of Meursault, the vineyard's Chardonnays must take the Meursault title. Santenots Pinot Noir reds are usually lush and rich with good structure, ripe tannins and good ageability.The large vineyard is on the steep mid-slope of the east-facing Côte d'Or hillside (although with something of a southeast aspect here) above the flatter land below.

Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru 'Clos des Argillières' 2022

Pinot Noir from Nuits-Saint-Georges, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru ‘Clos des Argillières’ 2022

A distinctly earthy and sauvage-inflected nose is comprised mostly of a variety of red berry fruit aromas. There is very good energy to the intensely mineral-driven middle weight plus flavors that possess a relatively sleek mouthfeel on the structured, serious and moderately austere finale. This is clearly built-to-age and is going to need at least moderate patience. Excellent. Drink 2032+Allen Meadows, Burghound 92 Points ♥ OutstandingThe 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Argill
