Vinous (92-94)
The 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed and matures in 80% new oak. It has an expressive and aromatic bouquet with pretty blueberry, raspberry and iodine aromas that burst from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very effervescent from the start with vivid red and black fruit infused with orange zest and light fig notes. Very fine.Inc. VAT£677.89 -
(6x75cl) 2019Vinous (94-96)
The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru was completely destemmed this year. It has a vibrant bouquet of black cherries, raspberry coulis and freshly picked roses. There is a purity here that I admire. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and quite corpulent yet retaining definition on the finish, and leaving cracked black pepper on the aftertaste. This could turn out to be one of Drouhin-Laroze's best 2019s.Inc. VAT£1,160.05 -
(3x75cl) 2020Vinous (94)
The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru had the highest sugar levels in this vintage, so this was the first cuvée to be picked on 24 August. It has a very expressive nose, very pure and without any stems, it still imparts an attractive spiciness. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, nicely poised with a harmonious and mineral-driven finish. Excellent.Inc. VAT£437.54 -

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Au Closeau 1er Cru has a fresh red berry nose laced with orange blossom and light marmalade notes. The fresh palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, crunchy black fruit and quite a lot of wood tannins on the finish. They will become more enmeshed once racked. Fine.Inc. VAT£541.49 -
Vinous (91)
Due to the vigour of this parcel, the Domaine undertook a green harvest in making their 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Au Closeau 1er Cru. It is fragrant and pure on the nose: blackberry, raspberry and light wild strawberry scents comingle, just a touch of vanilla emanating from the oak (60%). The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, the 40% whole bunch imparting pleasant white pepper and bay leaf notes that lends another dimension on the juicy finish. This is well worth looking out for.Inc. VAT£498.80 -
Vinous (88-90)
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Au Closeau 1er Cru underwent some green harvest to improve the grape maturity. It has a light but focused nose - a mélange of red and black fruit with touches of sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, well balanced with nicely judged acidity. Modest length, this is a well-crafted Gevrey for more early drinking.Inc. VAT£572.00 -

(6x75cl) 2019Vinous (89-91)
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru has good intensity on the nose of fresh red berry fruit, the oak here nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied, with orange sorbet and Chinese five-spice infusing the black fruit. There is good depth and tension and quite an elegant yet structured finish. This is a fine Clos Prieur, even if it is not the best that I encountered during my Burgundy tastings. Give it 3–5 years in bottle.Inc. VAT£636.29 -

Vinous (92-94)
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is completely de-stemmed and raised in 60% new oak. Like the Clos Prieur, it has a vivacious, well defined bouquet with slightly more red fruit by comparison. In addition, the floral element is more pronounced, especially after three or four minutes of aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannin that lend this Lavaut Saint-Jacques a silky smooth texture. There are darker fruit stacked towards the back end of this Lavaut, the length is really quite impressive.Inc. VAT£272.80 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is completely de-stemmed, as the domaine felt that the wine already came with sufficient natural spiciness. It has a very classy bouquet of copious red cherry and raspberry fruit, becoming a little darker with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, impressive symmetry and an elegant finish. This is the kind of wine that is becoming more synonymous with the domaine since their change of modus operandi. Superb.Inc. VAT£100.13 -

Vinous (91+)
Good full medium red. Musky dark raspberry, strawberry, underbrush and crushed rock on the nose, plus hints of pepper, leather and spicy oak. Dense, juicy and penetrating but not at all hard, with strong smoky limestone minerality carrying through to a very long, saline aftertaste featuring serious ripe tannins that turned a bit edgy with air. The wine's saline element is nicely supported by its wild red berry fruit.Inc. VAT£1,447.00 -
Wine Advocate (94-96)
The 2016 Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru, like the Chapelle-Chambertin, includes around 40% whole bunch fruit. This is incredibly pure on the nose, very focused, brimming full of energy. It foregoes the conservatism and reserve one usually discerns on wines from this vineyard. The palate is medium-bodied, with layers of raspberry coulis and crushed strawberry laced with tobacco and a touch of spice, fanning out gloriously but with style on the finish. Again, it is a step up from the 2015.Inc. VAT£1,570.87 -
Vinous (95)
The 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru was completely de-stemmed this year. This has a complex and delineated bouquet, more complex than the Chapelle-Chambertin and more mineral-driven. The palate is well-balanced with sappy red fruit intermixed with clove, white pepper and sage, while vibrant and spicy on the finish. Excellent - this could be the pick from Drouhin-Laroze this year.Inc. VAT£1,041.20 -

Laced with black cherry and blackberry fruit, this juicy red picks up violet, iron, spice and toast flavors. A muscular frame holds everything together, as this leans more to the Morey side than the Musigny side. Best from 2022 through 2040.Inc. VAT£670.79 -

Vinous (95-97)
The 2020 Musigny Grand Cru includes 40% whole bunch and was matured entirely in new oak. With intensity on the nose, this is more floral than the Clos-de-Bèze, touches of violet infusing the red fruit alongside light aniseed aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very harmonious with impressive weight and an irresistible silky texture on the persistent finish. Beautiful. Just one barrel was produced this year due to millerandage and then stress.Inc. VAT£718.13 -

Vinous (93-95)
The 2021 Musigny Grand Cru comprises one barrel, moved from a new to a used one after racking as they felt the oak influence was too strong. That was a clever decision as the oak is deftly interwoven on the nose and allowing the noble terroir to come through. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, very harmonious with touches of orange rind and cedar towards the finish. Very fine, though the Clos-de-Bèze might be the long distance runner.Inc. VAT£767.33 -
