Vinous (93)
Deep, bright red-ruby. Dark raspberry, licorice, violet and minerals on the vibrant nose and palate. Moderately sweet, dense and sappy, with a saline impression of soil giving shape to the silky, mouthfilling flavors. A wonderfully creamy expression of terroir, with a very long, rising finish that juxtaposes floral lift and energy with deeper-pitched coffee and underbrush elements.Inc. VAT£1,009.73 -
Burghound (95)
A very densely fruited nose is composed mostly from the black side of the fruit spectrum along with notes of menthol, spice and Asian tea nuances. There is excellent concentration to the intense and attractively well-detailed middle weight flavors that possess a suave and highly seductive mouth feel before terminating in a mouth coating, complex and hugely long finish. This is an unusually powerful RSV that is less elegant than usual yet one that is still very much on the way up, indeed I would suggest allowing it at least another 5 to 7 years of celar time as it's very much still a baby.Inc. VAT£7,643.15 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93)
Good medium red. Highly perfumed nose combines raspberry, strawberry, cocoa powder, white pepper, blood orange and a resiny headshop spiciness. Pungent, complex and weightless; a wonderfully lively, delicate wine with sneaky intensity and superb penetrating energy and lift. Finishes dry and understated. Suave rather than large. My recorked bottle lost some verve with 24 hours, suggesting that this wine is probably best for mid-term drinking-say, beginning in five years. But that brilliant nose can't be duplicated anywhere outside the northern C o te de Nuits. Van Canneyt told me he doesn't consider 2007 to be a great year for this domain and that he prefers the 2008s for their depth of fruit and texture.Inc. VAT£1,045.46 -
Vinous (93+)
Medium red. Musky, soil-driven aromas of mocha, licorice, spices, soy sauce and flowers. Sweet, plush, rich and very ripe, but with plenty of energy to the cocoa powder, loam and spice flavors. The impressive, slowly building finish shows a distinctly saline character and a positive dryness. A fascinating wine of terroir, in need of patience.Inc. VAT£1,092.53 -

Really rather majestic on the nose. Perfume and polish. Very racy and noble. I feel lucky to taste this. Very well done! Great depths and energy. Long and while very ripe it is not simply sweet. Great vivacity and intensity. Yet with burgundy’s delicacy too. So long. Bravissimo!Inc. VAT£6,977.15 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-95)
(25% vendange entier): Good bright, full red. Complex, inviting nose combines raspberry, rose petal and orange zest. Intensely flavored and sharply delineated, showing excellent lift and verve to its red fruit and soil flavors. An element of medicinal red cherry and emerging minerality suggest that this silky, deep wine will enjoy a graceful evolution in bottle. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins and lovely rising perfume. With time in the glass, this wine demonstrated its firm spine more clearly.Inc. VAT£4,883.15 -

One parcel of very old vines supplies the grapes for this wine. Charles van Cannety added back 40% of the stems after he forgot to do whole bunch fermentation and it's brought a peppery lift to the wine. Spicy, sappy and complex, it shows the classic plumpness and fruit forwardness of Romanée-St-Vivant and very polished tannins.Inc. VAT£4,253.83 -

Wine Advocate (97)
I knew that the 2014 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru would be great when I tasted it from barrel last year...but not this great. It has a wonderful, tensile bouquet that just seems to sparkle. The fruit is so crystalline and laden with energy and mineralité that you almost have to sit down! The palate is surfeit with energy, the fruit perhaps a little darker than in barrel with white pepper, spices towards the almost Richebourg-like finish. Tasting them side-by-side, I would err for this over the Richebourg - it is a magnificent wine from Charles van Canneyt.Inc. VAT£2,825.58 -

The 2015 Romanée Saint-Vivant Grand Cru from Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat is exceptional, bursting from the glass with notes of cherries, wild berries, exotic spice, dried flowers and orange rind. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and authoritative, built around a bright line of acidity and a fine-grained chassis of satiny tannins. The finish is long, fragrant and racy.Inc. VAT£1,237.27 -
(3x75cl) 2017Decanter (97)
This 1920 parcel is situated in the northern part of the Romanée-St-Vivant grand cru, very close to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's holdings - and it's often a match for that wine. It's detailed, lacy and refreshing, with adroitly integrated 50% new wood and layers of red cherry, raspberry and red plum fruit. It has focussed acidity and palate-caressing tannins. Effortlessly complex.Inc. VAT£3,071.58 -
(3x75cl) 2018Vinous (97)
The 2018 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a very candied, aniseed-tinged bouquet that contains impressive intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, lovely orange-zest infused red fruit, gentle but insistent grip with an arresting, white pepper/spicy finish that leaves the tongue tingling. Impressive and delicious, though it will need cellaring. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.Inc. VAT£4,139.58 -

The 2019 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is very perfumed on the nose with black plum, bilberry, violet and candied orange peel, and it shows a little riper and more decadent than Grivot's Richebourg tasted alongside. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, and it is focused to the point of symmetry, gradually building in the mouth toward an intense, spicy, almost citric finish with blood orange and marmalade. This is a Grand Cru of stature and longevity. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. VAT£1,170.80 -

The 2021 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has plenty of fruit on the nose with raspberry and blackcurrant scents, light sea spray and seaweed, fine delineation and focus. There is an atypical sheen of opulence. The palate is sorbet-fresh on the entry with very fine lacelike tannins and irresistible red fruit infused with blood orange and tangerine. This is nascent vitality and energy, though very persistent with a brightness that really comes through. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. VAT£1,345.73 -

The 2023 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru was the last cuvée to finish its malo. This has a compelling mineral-driven bouquet with intense red berry fruit, razor-sharp delineation and poise. It's perhaps a level-up from the previous vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with a plush entry. It's velvety smooth in texture, with a patina of oak to be subsumed, but there is plenty of weight on the finish and a wonderful peppery aftertaste. It's one of the more powerful wines from the domaine, but it will give many years of pleasure. This is fabulous.Expected Price Range£2,925 - £3,575 -
(4x75cl) 1986```htmlHudelot-Noellat Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru les Beaumonts 1986 is a quintessential expression of Burgundy's esteemed terroir. Crafted by the esteemed Hudelot-Noellat family, this Premier Cru originates from the venerable Les Beaumonts vineyard in Vosne-Romanée. The 1986 vintage benefited from optimal climatic conditions, allowing the Pinot Noir grapes to achieve exceptional ripeness and complexity. Hand-harvested and meticulously vinified, the wine underwent traditional fermentation in oak barrels, imparting subtle nuances of spice and earth beneath its elegant fruit profile. Aging gracefully over the decades, this bottle exhibits refined tannins, layers of red berry aromatics, and a harmonious balance of acidity and depth. A testament to the producer's dedication to quality and the distinctive character of the Les Beaumonts terroir, Hudelot-Noellat Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru les Beaumonts 1986 promises a memorable experience for the discerning connoisseur.

The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru has a slightly meaty/feral bouquet, just a hint of gaminess that might become more conspicuous with bottle age. Otherwise I find this well defined and with flattering red cherry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. There is a fine bead of acidity here, a pleasant fleshy mouthfeel towards the finish and a residual salinity that beckons you back for the next sip.

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Malconsorts was the latest to finish its malolactic in mid-September. The nose has plenty of energy: red berry fruit, orange sorbet, wet limestone and fresh prune scents. The palate is primal with a dense body of red fruit. There is better weight here than the Suchots with more persistence on the peacock’s tail finish. Is this the Malconsorts of the vintage?Inc. VAT£1,241.04 -

The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts has a disarmingly beautiful nose with blackcurrant, briary and cold stone scents that offer great typicité. Likewise, the palate has a structure typical of this premier cru, denser and more mineral-driven than the Suchots, perhaps at the same time more aloof. But that is what you want from a Malconsorts and there is great precision on the long and tender finish. There is great potential here.Inc. VAT£1,003.44 -

Good bright, full red. Knockout musky nose offers raspberry, minerals, resin, smoke and underbrush; pure liquid pheromones for this Burgundy lover.
