Bourgogne Bons Batons  ex-Domaine |
$33.95 |
60 |
|
| |
VM 88-90 (1/2025): The 2023 Bourgogne Rouge Bon Baton comes from a parcel adjacent to Ghislaine Barthod's on stonier soils, aged mostly in one-year-old barrels. Lightly perfumed on the nose, this conjures raspberry, strawberry and wild hedgerow scents, more complex than your common or garden Bourgogne Rouge. The palate is medium-bodied with satisfying concentration, not weighty or dense but light on its feet with commendable purity and grip on the finish. Traces of tobacco emerge on the aftertaste. Village Cru in quality. (Drink between 2026-2031). Neal Martin.
JM 87-89 (10/2024): An even purple colour. A very attractive stylish perfumed floral nose, with a little more body than the regular. Not massively concentrated but distinguished in its length. Sound acidity. The flavours stay with you. Drink from 2026-2030.
BH 86-89 (1/2025): A slightly riper and more deeply pitched nose features aromas of dark cherry, poached plum and freshly turned earth. The delicious if not especially dense flavors do possess a lovely sense of underlying tension before culminating in a youthfully austere, lingering and mildly austere finale. This is also very good for its level and worth checking out. Drink 2027+. Outstanding! |

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes ex-Domaine |
$134.95 |
42 |
|
| |
BH 91-94 (1/2025): (from a .40 ha holding of 65+ year old vines.) A highly expressive, perfumed and even more floral-suffused nose displays aromas of various dark berries, plum and a top note of kirsch. The racy, beautifully detailed and solidly concentrated and voluminous medium-bodied flavors aren't quite as mineral-driven but it's close on the youthfully austere, balanced and wonderfully persistent finish. This too is excellent. Drink 2033+. Sweet Spot Outstanding!
VM 92-94 (1/2025): The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru comes from three parcels and includes 25% whole bunch. This has a classy bouquet with touches of freshly-rolled tobacco and graphite infusing the dark berry fruit, as hints of iris flower surface over time and remain subtle throughout. There is wonderful definition here. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh with disarming purity on the entry, slightly chalky tannins and a little confit fruit toward the finish. Stylish and suave, this is very seductive but there is structure and substance to suggest it will age well in bottle. Excellent. (Drink between 2027-2043). Neal Martin.
JM 91-94 (10/2024): A medium to full purple, with a depth of warmer raspberry fruit on the nose. Bright fruit, medium depth, a little point of acidity, livened up by the whole bunches, slightly more persistent. Some tannins at the back waiting to refine. Drink from 2029-2036. |

| BH 89-91 (1/2020): (from the villages portion of the vineyard.)This is at once slightly more elegant and more complex with its cool and airy nose of red and dark pinot fruit that is amply laced with earth and floral hints, all of which is trimmed in a deft touch of wood. The mouthfeel of the delicious medium-bodied flavors is once again fleshy and generous but refined and with good minerality on the palate coating and length finish. This is a lovely Chambolle villages. Drink 2025+. Outstanding Top Value! |

BH 91-93 (1/2025): (from the villages portion of the vineyard.) A more elegant, more floral and more expressive nose freely offers up its mostly cool red cherry, spice and a similar hint of crushed anise. The mouthfeel of the middle weight flavors is positively gorgeous, even silky, with an almost pungent minerality adding a sense of lift to the long, balanced and youthfully austere finale. This is a stunningly good Chambolle villages that would make many a premier cru blush - highly recommended. Drink 2031+. Outstanding!
JM 90-93 (10/2024): An even ruby purple. Here the nose stands up and speaks of the vineyard, with nothing too solar in style. The dark raspberry fruit, with some cherry overtones, fills the palate very nicely with a positive structure of medium tannins and a little acidity provide an interesting rearguard, Drink from 2028-2034.
VM 88-90 (1/2025): The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras has a fresh and expressive bouquet of black cherries, raspberry and subtle violet scents, gradually revealing just a hint of forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with a taut opening. Leaner than the 2022 with moderate length, this just requires a little more flesh toward the citric finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. (Drink between 2026-2038). Neal Martin. |

Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos des Argillieres ex-Domaine |
$109.95 |
60 |
|
| |
JM 93-96 (10/2024): Ruby to purple. Immediately a beautiful nose, perhaps the 25% whole bunches speaking. They are discreet but give such a lift. The fruit itself is beautiful and there is plenty of it, raspberry with a little cherry note behind and some alpine strawberries. Harmony and beauty with excellent length. Drink from 2030-2037.
BH 91-94 (1/2025): A decidedly more reserved and cooler nose grudgingly reveals its aromas of poached plum, newly turned earth, exotic tea and floral whiffs of violet and lilac. The lilting and beautifully textured middle weight flavors possess a really lovely mid-palate mouthfeel before culminating in a youthfully austere, stony, precise and impressively long finale. I very much like the balance and this excellent effort should age effortlessly. Drink 2035+. Sweet Spot Outstanding!
VM 91-93 (1/2025): The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Argillières 1er Cru, which includes 30% whole bunch, has an intriguing bouquet: mainly dark berry fruit intermingled with mulch, white pepper and sea spray scents. There is fine delineation once again. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit and touches of sea salt, giving way to a quite marine-influenced finale with gentle grip. One of the more cerebral wines from Nuits Saint-Georges, the 2023 is cohesive—perhaps missing the audacity of the previous vintage yet certainly very well-crafted. (Drink between 2027-2043). Neal Martin. |

VM 95-97 (12/2021): The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos St. Marc 1er Cru is curiously much less expressive on the nose than the Clos des Argillières despite coaxing. Finally, after I am already bloody late for my next appointment, it unfolds with wonderful mineral-rich blue fruit. The palate is clean and very precise, extremely focused, the oak seamlessly integrated and it fans out in splendid fashion on the lightly spiced fashion. About as good as Nuits Saint-Georges you can find. Neal Martin.
BH 91-94 (1/2022): (a .93 ha monopole of the domaine.) A ripe but cool and pure nose is comprised by notes of black raspberry liqueur, anise, violet, wood spice and a hint of the sauvage. The suave and palate drenching flavors possess both good energy and minerality before culminating in dusty, youthfully austere and firm finish. This attractive if compact effort is also going to need at least a modicum of patience. |

JM 93-96 (10/2024): A vibrant purple. Here too there is an exciting energy to the nose, slightly darker fruit, even a hint of chocolate on the nose. Slightly more depth than the Clos des Argillières, with firmer but very well integrated tannins. This needs a little more elevage, before it might overtake the seductive beauty of the Argillières. Drink from 2030-2038.
VM 93-95 (1/2025): The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos St. Marc 1er Cru, a monopole belonging to the Domaine, includes 25-30% whole bunches. This feels a little more animated and energetic than the Clos des Argillières, with more red fruit, crushed stone and lightly pressed flower scents. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. There is a sense of "fluidity" in this Clos Saint-Marc, which displays gentle grip, lovely poise and weight toward the spicy finish. This is the Domaine's standout cuvée in 2023—superb. (Drink between 2027-2048). Neal Martin.
BH 91-93 (1/2025): (a .93 ha monopole of the domaine.) This is aromatically similar to the Argillières if perhaps just a bit spicier. There is a similar mouthfeel as well if more size, weight and muscle to the saline, serious, more youthfully austere and compact finale. This is even more backward though not necessarily more structured and as such, it's going to require at least some patience. This too is excellent with the potential to match. Drink 2035+. Sweet Spot Outstanding! |

Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Hauts Pruliers ex-Domaine |
$109.95 |
60 |
|
| |
VM 92-94 (1/2025): The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Hauts Pruliers 1er Cru offers more red fruit on the nose: strawberry and raspberry, just a touch of violet and a soupçon of espresso, all with precise delineation. The palate is medium-bodied and very cohesive with fine tannins, a crisp line of acidity and silky-smooth tannins. There is just a light lactic element on the finish but that will go with time. The 2022 was one of Rion's standouts and this is a worthy follow-up. Recommended. (Drink between 2027-2043). Neal Martin.
JM 91-93 (10/2024): Medium deep ruby purple. More of a savoury touch to the nose., along with dark red berries. Firm tannins behind the medium density fruit, the class is more in the persistence. The Hauts Pruliers shows a limestone character. Drink from 2029-2035.
BH 90-93 (1/2025): (from the tiny .41 ha premier cru section.) A fresh, perfumed and moderately deeply pitched nose exhibits notes of various dark berries, plum and a whiff of earth along with a subtle hint of spice. The succulent, nicely voluminous and racy flavors terminate in a mildly austere, mineral-driven and and solidly persistent finish that possesses fine balance. Once again, this is lovely but sufficiently structured to need at least some cellaring. Drink 2033+. |

Nuits St. Georges Aux Barrieres ex-Domaine |
$69.95 |
60 |
|
| |
VM 91-93 (1/2025): The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Barrières comes from a single 0.70-hectare parcel in the north of the appellation. It doesn't quite click into gear on the nose like the wonderful 2022, rather it is perhaps more discrete with loamy scents percolating through the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a firm grip. Fine tannins and a conspicuous, almost briny marine influence develop toward the finish, lending another dimension. It coheres nicely in the glass and it should give 12 to 15 years' drinking pleasure. (Drink between 2027-2042). Neal Martin.
JM 90-92 (10/2024): Ruby with a crimson rim. Less immediately expressive than the Nuits-St-Georges Vieilles Vignes, with in any case a different fruit profile, demonstrating the terroir of the north side of Nuits, beginning to flirt with Vosne-Romanée. The class shows on the second half of the palate and in the persistence, across more refined tannins. Horses for courses. Drink from 2028-2033.
BH 89-91 (1/2025): (from a .70 ha holding.) An equally cool and slightly spicier nose speaks of the essence of red plum, newly turned earth and dark currant. The very supple, even caressing medium weight flavors possess fine punch and a subtle minerality on the firm, powerful and serious finale. Fine quality here as well. Drink 2031+. Outstanding! |

Vosne Romanee ex-Domaine |
$109 |
44 |
|
| |
JM 90-93 (10/2024): From La Croix Blanche, Ravioles and Hauts Beaux Monts. A fine even purple, with a slightly headier nose than the Chambolles. Still with real spice. A pure red berry fruit, with some darker threads, a little spice, and fine length. An attractive village Vosne in harmonious balance. Drink from 2028-2034.
BH 89-92 (1/2025): (from rough proportions of 25% Les Raviolles, 25% Croix Blanches and 50% Les Hauts Beaux Monts.) A distinctly spicy, bright, ripe and very fresh nose features notes of violet, rose petal and the essence of black pinot fruit. The rich, supple and velvety middle weight flavors possess a seductive mid-palate mouthfeel that contrasts noticeably with the firm, dusty and lingering finish that flirts with rusticity. Once again, this is a very impressive villages. Drink 2031+. Outstanding Top Value!
VM 88-90 (1/2025): A blend of three parcels in Les Croix Blanche, Les Raviolle and Les Haut Beaumonts, the 2023 Vosne-Romanée Village is quite understated on the nose despite coaxing, with pretty blackcurrant and raspberry fruit eventually unfurling. The palate is nicely structured with gentle grip. A little candied fruit surfaces toward the slightly lactic finish, with dark chocolate and espresso slightly impeding the fruit at the moment. Enjoy this after a couple of years in bottle. (Drink between 2026-2038). Neal Martin. |

Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts ex-Domaine |
$134.95 |

|
| |
JM 92-94 (10/2024): A richer purple with a more opulent bouquet. Plenty of volume here, with energy too, smooth across the palate, no whole bunches but has some of the energy thereof, good acidity, definitely has the extra here above the village. Drink from 2030-2037.
VM 92-94 (1/2025): The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru was completely destemmed and matured in one-third new oak. This is cohesive and focused on the nose, with neatly integrated oak and touches of iris flower infusing the black cherry fruit, as subtle bilberry scents emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. What I appreciate most is the texture, which is not smooth but has a little edginess. Touches of white pepper develop toward the finish, not concentrated or powerful, but very poised and persistent. I might prefer this to the 2022. (Drink between 2027-2044). Neal Martin.
BH 91-94 (1/2025): (from a .25 ha parcel on the Vosne side.) A more elegant and slightly cooler nose combines perfumed and exuberantly spicy aromas that blend red and dark currant, exotic tea and a suggestion of sandalwood. Much like the Chambolle Les Cras, the middle weight flavors are refined to the point of possessing a silky texture while flashing an abundance of minerality on the solidly powerful, balanced and strikingly long finale. This could use better depth but the potential seems irreproachable. Drink 2033+. Sweet Spot Outstanding! |

Nuits St. Georges Blanc 1er Cru Les Terres Blanches ex-Domaine |
$74.99 |
60 |
|
| |
JM 90-92 (10/2024): Mid lemon yellow. A little reductive gunflint on the nose, not excessive. The stones show through the riper fruit on the nose, with good weight of white orchard fruit on the palate, the finish shows the class of Terres Blanches as a white wine terroir, extending nobly to the back. DIAM Drink from 2027-2032.
BH 90-92 (6/2025): (90% chardonnay and the remainder is pinot blanc.) Subtle though by no means imperceptible wood is present on the cooler aromas of Granny Smith apples, lemongrass and ample petrol nuances. Here too there is a lovely vibrancy to the delicious, if not particularly dense, middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the clean, bone-dry and youthfully austere finale that is also well-balanced. This well-made effort is going to need at least a few years of keeping to unwind. Worth considering, especially if you enjoy Nuits whites. Drink 2029+.
VM 88-90 (1/2025): The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Terres Blanches has a crisp and lively bouquet with more vigor than the Bourgogne Chardonnay: Conference pears and dew-speckled green apples. The palate opens fresh and vibrant, a little peachy on the entry but with racy acidity to counterbalance. Maybe it cuts away a little too swiftly on the finish, but otherwise this is a fine Pinot Blanc/Chardonnay combo to enjoy over the next five or six years. (Drink between 2025-2032). Neal Martin. |
