Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
50% Whole Bunch Fermentation; 80% new wood. A blend across many plots, including two younger vines which bring a little bit of volume and freshness. Dense dark purple, a little bit lifted on the nose, yet still clearly ripe. The oak shows more. Touch of raisins and drier finish, this is just coping. Not noble enough though.Inc. VAT£2,476.87 -

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-94)
Good full red. Aromatic but tight nose hints at minerals, spices, pepper and earth. Concentrated, sweet and fine, with a tight kernel of fruit compressed today by strong, sappy acidity. This is backward today, but its intensity and incipient complexity are easy to see. Finishes very long and fine, with noteworthy energy.Inc. VAT£1,233.85 -
Burghound (96)
A gorgeously scented nose offers up layered aromas of spice, earth, tea, sandalwood, wild flowers and black currant. There is an unusually refined mouth feel to the focused, intense and sleekly muscular flavors that possess equally good depth while delivering flat out superb length on the impeccably well-balanced finale. This is still very much on the way up but it is so harmonious and pretty that it could be enjoyed for its nose alone. That said, this is a very serious effort that should peak in the range of 7 to 10 years from now and then be capable of holding for 3 to 4 decades thereafter. In a word, wonderful.Inc. VAT£3,261.85 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-94)
Bright, deep red. Aromas of raspberry liqueur, blueberry, menthol and musky herbs. Rich, chewy and dry; comes across as quite austere after the last couple of grand crus. But then Jeremy Seysses finds this quality to be reassuring in the context of 2007. I'm drawn to austerity in this vintage, he told me, adding that he plans to lay down magnums of this wine in his personal cellar, along with the Clos de la Roche and Echezeaux. Finishes with dusty tannins and excellent thrust.Inc. VAT£9,064.84 -

The 2021 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is brilliant, exhibiting inviting aromas of cherries and raspberries mingled with rose petals, rich spices and vine smoke, followed by a full-bodied, ample and multidimensional palate that's richly layered, underpinned by powdery tannins and lively acids.Inc.

Burghound (89-92)
Mild reduction is enough to render the nose difficult to read. By contrast there is both good freshness and vibrancy to the sleek and focused middle weight flavors that possess good mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in a firm, serious and mildly austere finale. As is usually the case with Beaux Bruns this is not an elegant Chambolle but rather one of muscle and punch.Inc. VAT£756.04 -

Wine Advocate (87)
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Beaux Bruns from Joseph Faiveley is notably reduced on the nose, notes of raspberry, cherry and candied peel only emerging with extended aeration. On the palate, the wine is sappy, medium to full-bodied and a bit dried out from its reduction which renders it rather inscrutable, though the raw materials seem to be good. If this shakes off its reduction as it ages it may end up being very good, but my instinct is that it is a sadly stillborn Chambolle.Inc. VAT£481.24 -
As 1er Cru Chambolle-Musigny gos, it is difficult to beat this beauty from Faiveley for both value and classic style. Ethereal, elegant with refined red fruit and fresh flowers, this is exactly what you would want from both the village and this magnificent vineyard.Inc. VAT£738.04

(25% vendange entier; the lieu-dit is Petit Musigny): Medium red. Raspberry, pungent smoky minerality and truffley underbrush on the perfumed nose.

Wine Spectator (92)
Sweet oak lends vanilla and toasty accents to the core of cherry and strawberry fruit. Linear in profile, with freshness and dusty tannins framing the candied berry notes on the long finish. Best from 2017 through 2027. 130 cases made.Inc. VAT£1,489.24 -
Vinous (93-95)
(more than 50% of the potential crop was lost to frost; vinified in a new 3.5-hectoliter barrel with 50% whole clusters; one-third of these vines were planted in 2010): Bright, saturated medium red. Knockout perfume of cranberry, pomegranate, raspberry and white pepper. Vividly high-pitched and fine-grained in the mouth, with its penetrating, floral red fruit flavors accented by pungent crushed-stone minerality. Delivers outstanding intensity without weight, not to mention superb inner-mouth tension and saline complexity. This fabulously perfumed wine finishes with terrific rising length. This wine may not have the volume or power of the Combe d'Orveau but I suspect it will dance on its sibling's grave.Inc. VAT£1,182.04 -
Burghound (95-98)
A very pungent nose displays plenty of wood and menthol influences on the quite firmly reduced aromas. There is superb richness and intensity to the seductively textured mineral-inflected flavors that are at once powerful yet refined before culminating a very backward, concentrated and stunningly long finish that just goes on and on. This is exceptionally promising and should also live for decades. In a word, brilliant.Inc. VAT£2,955.20 -
Vinous (93-96)
(just a single new 150-liter barrel of this wine, vinified with 50% whole clusters): Bright, dark red. Captivating aromas of raspberry, coffee, mocha and pistachio. Plush, dense and deep, conveying more saline minerality and deep soil tones than primary dark fruits in the early going. But this wine boasts compelling sweetness and finishes with dusty, thoroughly ripe tannins and outstanding length. (Incidentally, Faiveley will actually have two different bottlings of Musigny from the 2015 vintage as they purchased a tiny parcel of vines from the Dufouleur family just after the harvest of 2015. The new wine will be bottled in magnums, which Faiveley plans to open in 2025 as part of the family's 200th-anniversary festivities. Beginning with 2016, there will be a single estate Musigny consisting of about 600 bottles.)Inc. VAT£7,513.61 -

(due to the tiny crop in 2016, Faiveley blended its two plots to make three-quarters of a barrel of wine; vinified with 50% whole clusters): Bright, dark red-ruby. Musky, smoky, reduced nose. Then wonderfully silky and rich on the palate, with its flavors of dark chocolate, black tea and cocoa powder conveying a powerful terroir character. Today the wine's fruit is in the deep background, yet this smoky, chocolatey Musigny conveys great breed. Not a wine, but a tasting experience for the connoisseur, says Jérôme Flous. Today I prefer the two Clos de Bèze cuvées and the Clos des Cortons for their pure fruit intensity.

The 2017 Musigny Grand Cru comprises a blend of the original parcel and the new postage-stamp-sized acquisition between de Vogüé and Roumier. Erwan Faiveley said that his father enjoyed tannic wines and that his only exception was Musigny - because it was so small, it was the only wine vinified using gravity. There is quite a hefty reduction on the nose that makes this difficult to read. The palate, though, is pure class, with filigreed tannin, wonderful focus, firm grip and a very mineral-driven finish.

Chocolate, cassis, black plums and pine needles... the list of aromatics goes on and on. This is dense in flavor yet buoyed by crackling acidity. It is complex and long, yet it is approachable as it is cerebral. The tannins stay silky smooth through the dreamy, long finish.

The 2021 Musigny Grand Cru has a quite bewitching nose with pixelated red berry fruit, crushed limestone, freshly picked rose petals and the sense of whole bunches that is not immediately discernible but you can tell its guiding the background. The palate is harmonious and exquisitely balanced, perfect acidity, in some ways classic in style but there is enormous length and grace befitting this vineyard. Outstanding.Inc. VAT£3,259.45 -
Burghound (91-93)
A ripe and brooding nose offers up notes of both red and dark currant, raspberry and a really lovely array of floral elements. The mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is at once finer and more delineated though notably less concentrated and powerful while the lingering and equally firmly structured finish possesses a different texture as the 100% whole cluster vinification is more obvious. Good stuff here as well in a built-to-age style.Inc. VAT£735.89 -

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Carrières 1er Cru comprises six barrels this year, plus one amphora that may or may not be blended. The barrel sample has a concentrated bouquet of ravishing red berry fruit mixed with iodine and violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a slightly chalky texture and a focused, quite Morey-like finish that lingers. There is something serious about this Les Carrières that suggests it will be for long-term consumption. I also tasted the wine from amphora. This has more sheen on the nose, more polish, perhaps. The palate is medium-bodied with black cherry and cassis fruit, the fruit profile similar but the texture silkier than the regular blend. There are touches of pain grillé here, and the wood element is just a little more marked on the finish.Inc. VAT£865.24 -
Wine Advocate (92+)
Another of the highlights of the range is the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Combottes, a lovely wine that wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet wild berries, cherries, potpourri and a generous application of toasty new oak that will settle down with a bit of bottle age. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety and nicely concentrated, structured around rich, powdery tannins and lively acids, concluding with good length on the finish.Inc.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Lavrottes 1er Cru, which sees 50% new oak, was showing some reduction when I visited the domaine, though there appears to be fine fruit concentration. The fresh, vibrant palate is vivid and tensile, offering crisp, slightly chalky tannin and crunchy red fruit mixed with blueberry toward the finish. There is good backbone here, and so this will deserve at least four to six years in bottle. Excellent.Inc. VAT£732.04
