At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines. The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Vineyards like Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, and Meursault showcase the full potential of this noble grape, producing wines of unparalleled richness, depth, and complexity. These whites epitomize the artistry of winemaking, with each sip revealing layers of flavors and a harmonious balance between fruit, minerality, and oak.

Vinous (87-89)The 2020 Monthélie Les Champs Fulliot 1er Cru comes from organic purchased fruit. There is touch of a reduction on the nose, touches of cherry liqueur and strawberry, the 30% new oak nicely integrated. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, slightly lower acidity than some of Parent’s other cuvées with a smooth finish. Will be difficult to resist in its youth. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Pommard Les Rugiens is 100% whole bunch with 50% new oak, from purchased grapes whereby Anne Parent conducts the picking. It has a ripe black cherry and boysenberry scented bouquet with touches of black pepper and clove. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent entry, quite fleshy and expressive, but here, I am seeking just a little more precision o the finish, like the Les Epenots. |

Burghound (91-93)Outstanding. A much more floral-suffused nose speaks of more elegant aromas of various dark berries, anise and discreet earth wisps. The sleek, intense and precise medium weight flavors possess a beguiling mid-palate texture before concluding in a slightly more complex, balanced and sneaky long finish. Champs Pimont always ages well and there is no reason that this shouldn't do so as well. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru is completely de-stemmed and has a lovely blackberry, briar and mineral-driven bouquet that feels well defined and vivacious. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, very grippy tannins that lacquer the mouth. This is a bold, assertive Chambertin; what it needs is a little more nuance and precision toward the finish. Maybe that will evolve with time. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru was completely de-stemmed and has an intense bouquet with blackberry, briary, undergrowth and a light floral scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly peppery opening - in fact, you might be deceived into thinking there were some stems in this Chambertin. Fresh, well defined, this feels quite sustained towards the finish with a touch of spice on the aftertaste. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru includes 20% whole bunches this year. It has a slight mintiness on the nose, quite generous if not as complex as the Corton-Bressandes tasted alongside. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, quite strict and fresh with a chalky texture, and a slightly curmudgeonly finish. Give this three to four years in bottle to lighten up. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2018 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is matured with 35% whole bunch and 60% new oak. It has a slightly opaque bouquet, closed and not ready to come out and play at this early stage. The palate is grippy on the entry and quite oaky, and the wood tannins feel a little intrusive toward the finish. Hopefully this will meld together with bottle age, but this year I prefer the Corton-Bressandes tasted alongside. |

Tim Atkin MW (95)This is a captivating Clos Vougeot with a vibrant bouquet and excellent energy. Mulberries, chocolate and smoky minerality flood the palate. Smooth tannins and mouth-watering lift make this a surprisingly accessible Clos Vougeot. These 1 hectare 28 ares of vines sit in the lower portion of the middle section near Ch teau de la Tour. 2024-40 |

Vinous (91-93)Matured with 30% whole bunch and aged in 60% new oak, the 2018 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has an attractive bouquet of red berry fruit and touches of mint and meat juices, all nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, good balance and gentle grip. It turns a little savory toward the finish, and a pinch of white pepper and sage lingers on the aftertaste. This is a well-crafted Corton that should age with style. |

Tim Atkin MW (94)Harvested on Day 1, 30% whole cluster was included and the wine has aged in about 50% new oak. The nose is a touch reserved now, but the palate offers generous forest berries with toast and chocolate influences. Red currants and pomegranates tingle on the lingering, chalkytextured finish. 2024-2035 |

Vinous (92-94)(harvested on September 12, with potential alcohol of 12.8%; from an east-facing, cool site at the top of the hill, just under the trees, where phenolic maturity usually comes before sugar ripeness): Pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. Pungent, raw aromas of crushed stone, pepper, truffle and earth: very white soil in character. The impression of rawness continues on the tight, leanish palate, which offers pure flavors of crushed stone, pepper and saline minerality. With less stuffing here than the Montrachet, this penetrating, soil-driven wine comes across as austere. But its lingering perfume suggests that it will reward extended cellaring. |
