Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St. Jacques  |

|
| |
| WA 94 (5/2011): The 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St.-Jacques opens with sweet, floral notes that meld into spices and dark red fruits. Textured and enveloping throughout, the Lavaux St. Jacques impresses for the sheer pleasure it provides. The finish remains a bit taut, but in another few years this should be a gem. It is a dazzling wine from Claude Dugat. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028. |

| BH 90-92 (1/2020): This too is quite firmly reduced and aromatically unreadable at present. More interesting are the sleek, vibrant and delineated middle weight flavors that display good salinity on the firm but balanced finale that betrays only a touch of rusticity. Drink 2028+. |

Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Chaumes |
$425 |

|

WA 90 (6/2010): Like most of the premier crus in this collection, 50% new wood was employed here and it’s a tribute to the wine, Lachaux, or tonnelier Stephane Chassin – perhaps to all collectively – that there isn’t any overt woodiness in evidence. The deeper, more clay-rich soils in this site vis-a-vis most of his others is, opines Lachaux’s, the reason for a slightly more rustic tanninity in his 2008 Vosne Romanee Les Chaumes. Ripe purple plum and blackberry are allied to alkaline and overtly chalky elements and shadowed by their distilled counterparts. Despite this wine’s prominent tannins, an unexpected sweetness and mouth-watering savor wells-up in its seriously sustained finish, convincing me that this will be worth cellaring for a few years and is likely to deliver fascination up to at least age 8. That said, one will need to bear in mind the tannins and overt minerality in pairing it, and those not enamored of Pinot’s dark side or of unapologetic tannins will be less impressed than am I.
VM 90 (4/2011): Deep red with ruby tones. Complex aromas of dark berries, flowers and spices, complemented by sweet oak and lifted by a peppery nuance. Not a fleshy wine but juicy, firm and aromatic, with lovely balancing acidity giving the wine vibrancy. Not the last word in concentration but finishes with sweet tannins and very good length. Pascal Lachaux noted that in most of his premier and grand crus, he made more wine in 2008 than in either 2009 or 2007.
BH 89-92 (1/2010): A more complex and, not surprisingly, notably spicier nose of layered red and blue pinot fruit with plum and violet nuances that complement well the rich, full and concentrated medium-bodied flavors that are on the somber side today before culminating in a firmer and more obviously structured finish that delivers excellent length. This should improve for up to a decade. Drink 2016+. Sweet Spot Outstanding! |

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers |

|
| |
| VM 92 (12/2023): The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has a lot of reduction on the nose, and the wood is far less integrated than the others in the flight. It certainly doesn't hold a torch to Rousseau's Cazetiers. The palate is medium-bodied, with a firm structure, good backbone and commendable sapidity. It is a bit backward and doesn't have the complexity of its peers toward the finish. Again, there is a touch of reduction. It may well find its groove with continued aeration, but I will be prudent with my score for now. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin. |

BH 89-92 (4/2018): An expressive nose speaks of essence of raspberry, earth, sauvage and a hint of wood. The dense super-ripe flavors brim with dry extract that coats the palate and imparts a velvety mouth feel to the mocha, bitter cherry pit and slightly warm finale. This muscular and mildly rustic effort is a very ripe 2016 yet the overall impression is one of freshness and energy.
VM 89-92 (1/2018): Good dark red. Very ripe scents of dark raspberry and chocolate. Quite powerful but youthfully bound-up, with the impression of chocolatey richness carrying through the palate. Finishes with big but fine-grained tannins and a serious structure. Perhaps a bit overconcentrated but not out of whack. This wine will clearly need time in bottle to absorb some of its baby fat. Stephen Tanzer. |

Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens |
$159.99 |

|
| |
BH 91 (4/2019): This is aromatically quite similar to the Fremiers if ever-so-slightly fresher and also flashes a background note of oak influence. The dense, powerful and super-rich mineral-driven big-bodied flavors possess first-rate levels of dry extract while delivering fine length on the mocha-inflected, bitter cherry pit and noticeably warm finish. This is certainly impressive in its fashion but it's somewhat particular in the context of the vintage.
VM 93-95 (1/2018): Bright medium ruby. Vibrant nose combines blackberry, boysenberry, kirsch, violet, minerals and chocolate. Dense, fine-grained and light on its feet, offering uncanny intensity and penetration to its juicy dark berry and mineral flavors. This graceful, vibrant Rugiens finishes with substantial broad, dusty tannins, harmonious acidity and slow-building length. A real live wire, particularly for a wine made from grapes picked in October. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 92 (4/2019): A rich bouquet of smoky blackberries, cassis, cloves and cinnamon introduce the 2016 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens, a dense, saturated wine that's full-bodied, broad and powerful, with an ample chassis of rich, chewy tannins, excellent concentration, ripe acids and a long, lusty finish. Of all of Confuron's wines at Domaine de Courcel this year, the Rugiens is the most generously endowed with fruit and flesh, though its assertive structure is still very prominent. |

| BH 90 (4/2022): An exuberantly spicy and not quite as ripe nose blends slightly fresher notes of raspberry, black cherry and exotic tea. The wonderfully vibrant middle weight plus flavors brim with both dry extract and minerality on the palate drenching, very firm and moderately austere finish where a similar level of warmth slowly emerges. This bitter chocolate-inflected effort should age well but it's necessary to be tolerant of noticeable warmth. |

Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts Christiane (1.5 L) Cracked Wax Capsule |
$1,500 |

|
| |
| VM 94+ (1/2018): (100% vendange entier; 60% new oak): Good medium red; not particularly dark. Subtle medicinal reserve to the aromas of black cherry and cocoa powder enlivened by a floral topnote. Boasts outstanding density and finesse of texture--no rough edges here!--but still quite tightly wound and in a shell today. Youthfully restrained but the exhilarating balance between almost inky dark fruits and saline minerality is already obvious. This wine has the concentration and tannic clout for the long term but will need extended cellaring to deliver on its full potential; at that point, it should merit an even higher rating. For his part, Brian Sieve believes this fruit was harvested a bit later than ideal (on September 6). Stephen Tanzer. |

|

VM 92-95 (2/2012): Good deep red. Reduced nose hints at minerals and bitter chocolate; rather mute today. Then suave, concentrated and seamless in the mouth, with rather imploded but sharply focused flavors of black cherry, minerals and smoke. This rather Bonnes-Mares-like wine finishes dense and very long, with notes of raspberry and crushed stone. Jeremy Seysses describes its minerality as "athletic."
BH 91-94 (1/2012): Very mild reduction doesn't completely hide the intrinsic Vosne spice notes that also suffuse the intense mineral and beautifully refined and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that possess both lovely delineation as well as that beguiling sense of underlying tension on the classy, cool and impeccably well-balanced finish. This is a classic Beaux Monts that should drink well young yet require at least 12 years to reach its full potential. Sweet spot Outstanding. Drink: 2022+
WA 91-93 (2/2012): The 2010 Vosne-Romanee Les Beaux-Monts wraps around the palate with gorgeous fleshiness. Exotic, deeply pitched spices meld into dark fruit and crushed rocks. I especially like the way the wine fleshes out on the mid-palate. A textured, caressing finish rounds things out in style. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. |

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses |
$599 |
2 |
|
| |
| BH 92-94 (1/2024): A more elegant and markedly spicier nose freely reveals its overtly floral aromas of the essence of red pinot fruit and plum scents. The sleek, vibrant and beautifully textured middleweight flavors flash an almost pungent minerality on the complex, balanced and strikingly long finale. It's often qualitatively close between the Amoureuses and BM but in 2022, the Amoureuses is clearly the better of the two wines. We will see in time as the Bertheau BM always ages extremely well but at present, this is the more interesting wine. Drink 2030+. |

|
| |
| BH 91 (11/2011): Attractively expressive red and black fruit aromas are trimmed in subtle earth and spice nuances where both continue onto the sweet and discreetly complex moderately full flavors that are firm, focused and admirably persistent while exhibiting both ample Nuits and Vosne character yet there is virtually no rusticity on the firm, long and palate staining finish. This is really quite lovely and while I would personally hold this for another 5 years or so, the solidly well-concentrated mid-palate will allow this to develop gracefully over the next 10+ years. Try from 2016+. |

VM 92 (6/2024): The 2014 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 1er Cru has a very attractive bouquet that has a little more fruit and vigor than its peers. Blackberries, morels and leather touches come through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, but there is a little more flesh compared to others. Hickory-tinged red fruit with a dash of Chinese 5-spice appear towards the finish. Drinking perfectly now, but I sense that it would improve with decanting. Drink between 2023-2033. Neal Martin.
BH 92 (1/2017): This is the first wine to display any appreciable wood with its cooler and even spicier combination of red current, cassis and pretty violet scents. The utterly delicious and more mineral-inflected middle weight flavors possess lovely underlying tension before culminating in a refined finale that displays a discreet touch of youthful austerity. This is also very good stuff and worth considering. Drink starting 2022.
WA 91 (10/2017): Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Chaignots has a vivacious, open and generous bouquet lavished with black cherries, cassis and wild strawberry fruit that is succinctly interwoven into the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied and quite sumptuous on the entry, more primal than its peers with plenty of black cherry and strawberry fruit, a fine thread of acidity and a very pure finish. It still has a long way to go, but this gutsy Nuits-Saint-Georges from Marie-Christine and Marie-Andrée at Mugneret-Gibourg has potential. Tasted September 2017. |

|
| |
| BH 91 (1/2014): (a monopole of the domaine) A high-toned and attractively layered nose mixes notes of red and black cherry with earth and humus nuances. There is excellent detail and punch to the equally mineral-tinged medium-bodied flavors that possess relatively refined tannins that are notably finer than usual, all wrapped in a harmonious and solidly persistent finish. I like the fruit/acid balance and this should age well over the medium-term. Drink 2019+. Outstanding! |

|

| VM 85-88 (4/1998): Vibrant medium-deep red. Reserved aromas of griotte cherry, herbs and smoke. More delineated than the Chambolle villages, but still has an herbal, green aspect. A bit tough, in the style of some '96s with moderate middle-palate sweetness, but has good grip. This may yet ripen a bit in bottle. |

| VM 89+ (4/1999): Bright deep red. More deeply pitched aromas of maraschino cherry, musky strawberry, gunpowder and earth. Quite minerally and closed in the middle palate, with texture currently masked by strong acids. Today the tannins are rather tough, making the wine difficult to taste. But finishes with persistent tart cherry flavor. Both this and the Fuees may ultimately merit 90+ ratings. Stephen Tanzer. |

| WA 88-91 (8/1998): This bright and medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine offers vivacious aromas of black cherries intermingled with roasting spices and fresh herbs. This medium-to-full-bodied, silky-textured, and well-delineated wine has a complex character composed of ripe blackberries, Asian spices, and freshly cracked black pepper. If it develops more body and loses none of its fruit as it completes its elevage, it will ultimately merit a higher score. Drink it between 2001 and 2007. |

| BH 94 (4/2025): (from a .60 ha parcel). Exuberantly spicy and ripe yet cool aromas are composed by notes of plum, dark raspberry and cassis. Once again there is fine volume to the caressing and gorgeously textured but very punchy medium weight flavors that conclude in a firm, dusty, complex and hugely persistent finish. This is exceptionally classy but altogether serious and if you can find it, buy it.Drink 2033+. |

| BH 87-90 (4/2016): An extremely subtle application of wood sets off the exuberantly fresh aromas of red currant, pomegranate, lilac and discreet spice nuances. There is a really lovely intensity to the pure and restrained middle weight flavors that seem to be built on a firm base of minerality, all wrapped in an austere and mildly dry finish. I like the delivery but the balance isn't ideal and it's not completely clear if this will harmonize in time but I have my doubts. |

Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts |
$239 |
2 |
|
| |
VM 88+ (3/2011): Palish medium red. Reticent, polite aromas of cherry, raspberry and minerals. Juicy, tight and youthfully imploded, with floral and spice elements emerging on the palate. In a very dry style but more refined than the Charmois. The pure finish features attractive floral/mineral lift.
WA 88 (5/2011): The 2008 Vosne-Romanee reveals good inner tension in its sweet crushed flowers, tobacco and incense. This, too, could use a little more complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016.
BH 88 (1/2011): 940% of the blend is from Aux Ravioles on the Nuits border.) A classic Vosne nose of spicy violet suffused red and blue pinot fruit where the spiciness carries over to the supple middle weight sour cherry-infused flavors that possess a firm tannic spine and a hint of rusticity on the otherwise balanced and long finish. A good villages. Drink 2015+.
WS 79 (12/2011): This is stingy, with light berry and spice notes followed by an astringent finish. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 260 cases imported. |

$650 |
3 |
|
| |
BH 92-94 (1/2013): (from a .70 ha parcel, most of which are 70+ year old vines). An exuberantly spicy nose of cassis and liqueur of red berry fruit is liberally laced with clove, anise, sandalwood and soy nuances. The robust and tautly muscular flavors exude a fine minerality on the wonderfully intense (again, almost painfully so), delineated and driving finish that goes on and on. While it isn't yet quite as harmonious, 2011 is a vintage where the Brûlees may be just as good as the Cros. Note however that this is very firmly structured and will need plenty of cellar time. Drink 2026+. Don't miss! Outstanding!
VM 92-94 (2/2013): Good bright, dark red. Reticent but pure aromas and flavors of raspberry, flowers, red licorice and pungent minerals. Densely packed, precise and energetic, but showing a medicinal reserve today. Seriously structured wine with a lovely light touch; the rising finish features a firm tannic spine. |

|
| |
| BH 90-93 (1/2024): ( from a .40 ha holding of 65+ year old vines.) This beauty is even more floral-suffused with its array of black raspberry, spice and soft wood nuances. The plush, even seductively textured flavors possess a bit more size, weight and power if not quite the same minerality on the complex, balanced and sneaky long finish. This is sufficiently structured to repay a decade plus of keeping yet it could be approached after only 4 to 5 years. Drink 2032+. Outstanding! |

| WA 93 (8/2014): Robert Groffier’s 2011 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Amoureuses was tasted blind in a line-up of 2011 Amoureuses in Holland. It has a deep ruby color, but the nose is far more backward than the first two wines, a little more herbaceous and tertiary (perhaps with some more stem addition?) but still well-defined. But it is certainly less flamboyant than Drouhin and Lucien le Moine’s Amoureuses ’11, though returning on my second run-through, the wine unfurls supremely well and gains intensity. The palate is very intense and very fresh, very citric with good tension, although it does not quite have the complexity that the aromatics suggest. Reticent and masculine, this needs 4-5 years in bottle. Tasted June 2014. |

WA 89 (7/2015): Tasted at the Comte Liger-Belair vertical at the Château de Vosne. The 2002 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots was a little smudged and reductive on the nose, developing savoury and dried meat notes with time. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin on the entry, good weight but missing the tension and precision that subsequent vintage will bring. Tasted June 2015.
BH 92 (1/2005): Curiously, the nose is quite ripe but slightly austere with an airy, pure and superbly elegant breadth of aromas that leads to punchy flavors are full-bodied, rich and delicious with more prominent acidity and a powerful, indeed even explosive finish. The structure is buried and completely buffered by all of the sappy extract and there is an appealing minerality on the extremely persistent finish. This is very classy juice that presently displays a subtle hint of finishing wood. |

| BH 91 (6/2022): A reserved nose requires vigorous swirling to reveal its array of cool, pure and nicely complex red and dark berries, earth, spice and a pretty floral whiff. There is an attractive mouthfeel to the sleek and nicely vibrant medium weight flavors that manage to retain good definition on the dusty, moderately warm and sneaky long finale. This youthfully austere effort should repay mid-term cellaring though it's not so tightly wound that it couldn't be enjoyed after only 2 to 4 years. Drink 2031+. |

| BH 91 (4/2013): Very discreet wood sets off exuberantly spicy aromas of plum, cassis and black raspberry liqueur. There is an ultra-sophisticated mouth feel to the silky-textured medium-bodied flavors that are blessed with so much extract that they culminate in an incredibly suave yet balanced finish that is built to age. There is a very mild touch of backend dryness that is likely due to the bottling and will probably round out in time but it does cause me to score this slightly lower than I otherwise might have. Drink 2022+. Outstanding! |

| BH 92-94 (4/2023): A brooding but equally fresh nose reluctantly offers up is cool aromas of essence of red currant, forest floor and humus-inflected earth. The sleek, intense and beautifully detailed medium-bodied flavors display focused power and an abundance of minerality on the austere, firm and complex finish that just goes on and on. This is compact but really quite stylish and like the Vaucrains, this too is textbook Les St. Georges. |
