Tasting NotesThe Champs Claude lieu-dit is on the Chassagne side of Santenay, with more deep, red oxide soils. Grippier than Les Charmes, a 'bloody wine' says Sam, as we taste! The aromas of rust or iron or blood are very distinct. Very dry palate with powerful tannins, this will develop beautifully with 2-4 years in bottle. RKL |

Tasting NotesThis is also on the southern (Maranges) end of Santenay. Fine aromas of strawberry fruits, earth and wood smoke, but still with lovely weight on the palate, chewy tannins, richness, some chocolate, kirsch flavours. Very much in the style of the domaine, black fruit, but balanced. Some saline and cacao notes on the finish. RKL |

Tasting Notes"Mid ruby. Intense, complex nose of red and black fruits with woodsmoke. Concentrated and intense fruit, with at present quite a pronounced structure of powerful tannins with good acidity. On the palate more flowers, herbs and spice. As deep as it is broad and, although imposing, neither hard nor overbearing. There’s great balance, real luxury and undoubted promise. It is, alas, not cheap. 18+ points" jancisrobinson.com (MH)------"This is the most floral-suffused nose in the range with its range of lilac, violet and rose petal nuances that add elegance to the black cherry liqueur scents. The middle weight flavors are not quite as dense but they are more mineral-driven and more powerful on the moderately austere, dusty and impressively long finale. This is clearly built-to-age but it's not so compact that it couldn't reasonably be enjoyed after 7 to 8 years. 92-95 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound------"The 11 plots were made separately and reunited just before the bottling. The terroir delimited in 1365 rests whole, with nothing declassified. Intense black purple with some glycerol legs. Sweetly dark fruit with the whole bunches hidden. A multitude of different red fruit notes speed across the palate and then the stems do show a little, gracefully, at the finish, along with some oak. As with La Richemone one can see that this vintage is not as concentrated as the previous one, but the wine has been beautifully made with rare distinction. Fine tannins to finish. Drink from 2033-2045. 95-98 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com------"Eleven different cuvées combine to form the 2023 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru, with every square meter contributing to the blend, to quote Jacques Devauges verbatim (as an aside, this is the same philosophy at Cheval Blanc, which is also on LVMH's mantelpiece). This vintage includes 80% whole bunch and was raised in 60% new oak. The bouquet is very expressive with ebullient red berry fruit, tobacco, forest floor and subtle aromas of ceps. The palate is medium-bodied with fine yet firm tannins that lend backbone and gentle grip. This fans out with style on the sapid finish with a liberal sprinkling of black pepper. The 2023 ranks alongside the 2022 and may even surpass it. Prices have skyrocketed in recent years and priced out many Lambrays-lovers, but one cannot deny the quality. 96-98 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

Tasting Notes"Bright mid crimson. Nose a melange of red and black fruit. Fresh acidity. Soft but structured tannins. Spicy, peppery finish. (MH) 16.5 points" jancisrobinson.com (MH)------" A very pinot-like nose blends notes of both red and blue fruit along with subtle hints of earth and oak. The exceptionally rich, seductive and caressing middle weight flavors terminate in a refreshing, pliant and satisfying finish. To enjoy either young or with 4 to 7 years of keeping. 89-91 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound------"From En La Rue de Vergy and Les Larrets, next door, last picked in this cooler site. The crimson side of purple. As always this has a slightly more sober bouquet than the rest of the range, not having any whole bunches. A dark fruit, a little orange zest, a hillside limestone underlay, fair length, well put together. Drink from 2028-2033. 89-90 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com------"The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis Village comes from the upper part of the slope on limestone soils. Slightly tertiary on the nose, this has well-defined red berry fruit with a hint of crushed violet emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied, open-knit and expressive. Grainy tannins build toward the finish that is very elegant and poised. This will be hard to resist in its youth, so why bother? 89-91 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

Tasting Notes"Mid ruby. Dark red and black fruit, raspberry, mulberry and cassis. Quite butch and firm on the palate, muscular and rounded. Balanced acidity and fruit and currently a firm finish. 17 points" jancisrobinson.com (MH)------"This is aromatically bright, more elegant and just a bit fresher as well with its anise-tinged nose of dark berries, kirsch and violet. There is again good vibrancy and a sleek mouthfeel to the generous and succulent middle weight flavors that conclude in a firm, balanced and lingering finale. Clos Sorbé is almost always a wine of finesse and this fits that mold. 91-93 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound------"Clos Sorbè has a red soil in contrast to the brown earth of Clos Baulet. A dark crimson purple. Dark fruit in volume, concentrated, more tannins as well, a touch of iron in there, “tobacco and spices” offers Jacques. It is a bulkier style of wine all round, thus hiding the whole bunch more. Needs more elevage. Drink from 2030-2037. 92-94 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com------"The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Sorbet ler Cru contains 50% whole bunch, which is much more integrated on the nose. Beautiful brambly red fruit, crushed stone and hints of freshly rolled tobacco come through with time. Very finessed and mineral-driven, the palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, gradually building to a poised and persistent finish. This may eventually surpass the 2022. 92-94 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Village, matured in 15% new oak, takes a little while to settle in the glass, revealing quite plush red fruit, touches of brown spice and dark chocolate. The palate is quite tannic on the entry, then settles down to a more harmonious mid-palate. Hints of salted licorice and tobacco emerge toward the slightly dry finish. 87points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com ------"Bright mid purple. A heady ripe nose, tastes like a sunnier year despite not picking late and keeping a sensible degree. Plenty of energy on the palate, fresh plums and vivid dark raspberries, with good length. Bottled in September. Drink from 2028-2033. 91 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Porrets-Saint-Georges ler Cru was taken from the tank. This is opulent on the nose, but there is a sense of control and delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe black fruit notes, touches of blueberry and raspberry coulis and just a hint of licorice toward the finish. Give this three or four years in bottle. 91-93 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com------"Racked to tank in October, to bottle in December. Deep purple. The bouquet is certainly a rich expression of pinot fruit without being over-ripe. Very full on the palate yet with energy through adequate acidity. Excellent balance and persistence. A fresh classic. Drink from 2030-2037. 92-94 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

IB | |||||
Tasting Notes"The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots ler Cru has a lifted, perfumed nase with redcurrant, wild strawberry and light sous bois scents. It is far superior to the Les Chênes Carteaux. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, crisp red berry fruit laced with orange rind and a touch of black pepper. Harmonious on the finish, this is a competent Les Chaignots. 91 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com------"Bottled in July. A bright ruby purple. The bouquet has a fine ripeness to the fruit, less heady than Chaines Carteaux. From a bright fresh red fruit at the front of the palate to something a little richer and darker behind, along with a peppery finish. Fine length, this is accessible but should also age quite well. Drink from 2029-2034. 93 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges ler Cru is a little smudged and overripe compared to other cuvées. The palate is quite smooth and sensual on the entry. It's slightly lactic in style-its richness is countered by acidity. To be honest, I prefer the previous vintage to this. 89-91 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com------"Still a fair length of barrel elevage to come. Dense crimson colour, plenty of oak but a massive fruit weight to match. So different from Vaucrains, vastly more depth and energy though I still crave for the finesse of Vaucrains. This is more evidently immediately satisfying, and has the classic heart of this part of the Côte. Drink from 2032-2040. 5 star rating. 95-97 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is very succinct on the nose. It doesn't race out of the blocks but skulks around like a moody teen, biding its time before offering blackberry, raspberry and forest floor scents. It has fine delineation and I appreciate the restraint. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, lovely balance and poise, plenty of energy and a touch of black pepper toward the finish. What a beautiful Bonnes Mares. 94-96 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge offers crushed strawberry and red plum scents on the nose that needs just a little more delineation.

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Bourgogne Rouge is a blend from two lieux-dits. It has a vibrant nose with cranberry and wild strawberry fruit in good concentration for a regional wine.

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Borniques ler Cru was raised in one- and two-year-old barrels. A mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, it is a little earthier than Les Cras without the same degree of precision. The palate is fresh, crisp and medium-bodied with fine tannins. It's not the most complex Chambolle, yet there is plenty of energy here. Give this two or three years once bottled. 91-93 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru has a lively, vibrant, well-defined bouquet with black cherry, raspberry and light herbaceous scents. It will need time in bottle to really gel. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly lactic entry, with hints of dark chocolate infusing the red fruit. It's silky smooth on the finish with perhaps just a soupçon of fig. It leans slightly toward a more exotic style but is still attractive. 90-92 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |

Tasting Notes"The 2023 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras ler Cru, matured with 30% new oak, has a little more precision and a touch more mineral drive within the red fruit than Les Charmes.

At the moment, this is the best wine from the domaine this year. 93-95 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com |
