There is just enough reduction to reduce the expressiveness and blur a bit of the nuance to what are clearly ripe and floral-suffused aromas. The rich, delicious and palate coating large-scaled flavors possess impressive density... Read More

This vineyard lies in Morey-Saint-Denis and is the only appellation in the Domain which is not part of the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. The wines are mineral and vibrant; long, firm and very consistent.

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques is promising, mingling aromas of cassis and smoky berries with hints of loamy oil, raw cocoa and potpourri. Medium-bodied, bright and lively, with a succulent core of fruit... Read More

A fresh, cool and pretty nose reflects notes of essence of red berries with a touch of earth that is picked up by the bright, delicious and vibrant flavors that conclude in a dusty and lingering finale. This almost gulpable effort... Read More

Aromas of blackberries, plums, exotic spices, orange rind and rose hips...rich and ample, its broad, textural attack segues into a deep and concentrated mid-palate.

Another comparatively structured wine is the 2019 Santenay 1er Cru Passetemps. Opening in the glass with notions of cherries, sweet red berries, petals and orange oil, it's medium to full-bodied,... Read More

Located in the heart of the small hamlet of Pouilly in Solutré, the Domaine des Sansonnets is arranged around a superb 19th... Read More

Like the Millandes, the whole cluster vinification shows on the cool, pure and restrained aromas of red currant, dark berries, humus and an earthy whiff. The tautly muscular and impressively intense medium weight flavors exude... Read More
