The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier.

Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Vinous (88-90)
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin "Cuvée Coeur de Roy," blended with 40% whole bunch, has an intense bouquet of small dark cherries mixed with raspberry and black currant pastille scents; there is fine delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins, well-judged acidity and a stocky and quite grippy, chalky-textured finish. Give this 18–24 months once in bottle to smooth its edges.In Bond£957.00 -

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur du Roy is also a notable success, unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark wild berries, spices, licorice and loamy soil. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it's as concentrated as ever, with striking depth and mid-palate volume, but it's also especially seamless and suave this year, reflecting Loïc Dugat-Py's shift toward gentler winemaking and more discreet élevage.In Bond£854.00 -

Tasted from a bottle that saw fully 24 months' élevage (which will be indicated on the label), the 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur du Roy is much more civilized than it was from barrel, offering up a pretty bouquet of red berries, plums and orange rind mingled with rose petals and incense. Medium to full-bodied, succulent and seamless, with integrated tannins and a lively, harmonious profile, it will offer a broader drinking window than I had originally anticipated.In Bond£745.00 -

A must-have addition for any serious collector appreciating the mastery of fine Burgundy wines.

Reduction presently masks the underlying fruit but the nose seems ripe. Otherwise the dense and energetic medium-bodied flavors possess lovely detail while offering fine length on the balanced and impressively complex finish. This is an excellent Gevrey villages.In Bond£973.00 -
