Vinous (96-98)
For the first time, Maxime Chuerlin decided to use stems in his crown jewel, the 2019 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru, settling on 25% whole bunch for this year. This was an astute decision, because it lends freshness and more complexity to the bouquet of blackberry, undergrowth, tobacco and crushed limestone aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, hints of peppermint behind the black fruit and touches of white pepper and sage toward a finish that fans out wonderfully. A slam-dunk for Maxime Churlin. Five barrels produced, matured entirely in new oak.In Bond£3,140.00 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-98)
The wine is poured and displays a spectacularly dense imperial purple. The first nose suggests inky depths in a good way, there is so much more to come. And here it does come on the palate, a veritable wealth of noble dark fruit with a lifted finish, excellent acidity and more tannins than many of the wines. The volume of fruit deserves this structure, as it does the epithet Grands. Tasted: November 2021In Bond£1,346.00
