Decanter (98)
A wine of intense concentration, tension and focus, even in the warm conditions of 2022. Aroma notes of ripe apple, peach and quince, then the volume and density you'd expect from 2022, but it's well balanced by the fresh acidity that draws it to a lingering finish. Grapes from Niellon’s plot of old vines are fermented on native yeasts in 40% new cask. This wine is among the best from this vintage and will make old bones if you are so inclined.Inc.

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Village, matured in 30% new oak, is vibrant and fresh on the nose: black cherries, strawberry pastille and just a touch of violet petal. The palate is a little oaky on the entry. Good depth, quite dense for a Chambolle, touches of blood orange and pain d'épices towards the finish. Give it a couple of years in bottle.Inc. VAT£449.60 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-91)
A rich full purple with a plump and stylish fruit, some violets, a generous red fruit, light tannins in place, adequate acidity. Quite a different style of wine after tasting those of Domaine Robert Sirugue, and indeed Arnaud & Sophie. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted: December 2023.Inc. VAT£682.32 -
(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-91)
Mainly Fouchères plus Echanges, Combottes and Maladière, overall an old vine cuvée with 60-80 year old vines. An even fresh purple. A touch of oak and relatively ripe strawberry-raspberry fruit, very much red fruit on the palate, with just enough acidity. An attractive, accessible Chambolle. Drink from 2028-2032. Tasted Dec 2024.Expected Price Range£357 - £436 -
Really surprisingly red-fruit dominated and sweetly spicy. A beauty, much more feminine than the Echezeaux but still carrying itself with a lot of structure and style. From two plots within the Cru alongside the famous Chateau. Again this is even more impressive than the Grivot.Inc. VAT£959.52 -

The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is quite deep in colour. It has a slightly reduced bouquet with ample blackberry and raspberry fruit, well integrated oak, though it is missing the Pinoté character I look for. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and pleasant dark berry fruit laced with brown spices. It feels just a little short on the finish, overall a decent Clos de Vougeot that would show more finesse in a cooler growing season. - Neal MartinInc. VAT£1,125.12 -

A fresh crimson purple. The bouquet is more precisely defined than the Echezeaux, dark fruit yet with some red berries also involved. The fruit fills the palate more generously, with excellent structure from well-defined tannins and a little point of acidity. This stands up very well and shows the character of the appellation. Drink from 2032-2038. Tasted Dec 2024.Expected Price Range£1,085 - £1,326 -

The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a rich and quite exotic bouquet that, for me, is just missing a bit of Pinoté. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe and fleshy tannins. Soft and caressing, nicely balanced, richer than the 2021 (no surprise there) with black pepper and a touch of spice on the finish.Inc. VAT£1,541.98 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)
Another rich dark colour. Half new wood, but it seems to dominate much less here than it did in the Boudots. There is plenty of substance but the desirable Echezeaux nuances are there too. Give this time to refine and I think it will make an excellent Echezeaux. Drink from 2032-2039. Tasted: December 2023.Inc. VAT£1,913.15 -

Not one of the deeper colours, on the ruby crimson border. A fine, classy, elegant nose, subtle rather than blockbuster. The oak is quite nicely integrated, alongside the fruit which shows more its Vosne-Romanée attributes. A little orange zest, with fair persistence. Drink from 2030-2037.

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has an exotic bouquet with hints of prune filtering through the red cherry and cassis notes. Very opulent. The palate is rounded and caressing, plush and quite decadent. The 40-50% new oak is nicely integrated, though I would like to see more precision on the finish.Inc. VAT£803.60 -
(6x75cl) 2021Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)
A sound mid crimson to purple colour. The bouquet indicates some depth and a savoury complexity. There is a good backbone to this, a little oak, then the fruit returns behind with a fine long finish in quite a graceful style. Drink from 2026-2033.Inc. VAT£1,008.29 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)
A full dark purple, again bolstered by the barrel. Dark fruit, which maintains an even presence across the palate. This one does not fade in the middle as some Suchots can do. A fine long balanced finish. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: December 2023.Inc. VAT£856.40 -
(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
Two plots higher and lower, just assembled at the recent racking. Mid ruby purple. Just a little bit of reduction on the nose. Darker fruit behind, notable salinity, a few well refined tannins, and fair persistence. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Dec 2024.Expected Price Range£523 - £640 -

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Village has a lively bouquet with dark cherry fruit, hints of fig and damson, though I would never describe it as over-ripe. There might be just touch of brettanomyces here. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, quite rounded and voluminous in the mouth with a soft landing on the finish. Packed full of flavour, this will be easy to drink in its youth.Inc. VAT£476.75 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-91)
Crimson to purple in colour, with quite an attractive spicy touch alongside the fruit. More punch through the middle than the Chambolle with a slightly meaty savoury note to finish. Drink from 2025-2030.Inc. VAT£449.52 -
(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)
A slightly lighter ruby purple, with a sense of greater finesse compared to the Nuits-St-Georges. This is nonetheless a predominantly clay based Vosne. Plenty of a softer red fruit in this wine, relatively floral, with a useful counterpoint of acidity and notable persistence. From Les Ormes, Vigneux and a small bit of Communes. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Dec 2024.Expected Price Range£357 - £436 -

First harvested in 2014, this 10,000-vine plot was created by basically exploding large blocks of flint with dynamite to obtain a flint-rich vineyard full of large rocks. The result is a creamy, silken 2019 Pouilly-Fumé Barre à Mine that is welcoming; flavor-wise, it's all ground almonds and oyster shell with masses of acidity. There's a firmness on the finish due to the flinty soils, providing upright structure and freshness, but once again, as with other 2019s, the alcohol gets in the way of the finish. An appetizing yet structured wine.Inc. VAT£320.29 -
Vinous (93)
Produced from a flint site that needed to be blown up to make the terroir and made from relatively young vines, this is initially a tender and supple style with a whiff of gunsmoke/flint, a taut line of precision that runs through its core, a mere hint of green herbs reminding you that Pouilly is a Sauvignon producer and even a hint of white pepper. It's a powerful style that has an attractive sense of bitterness holding it together. At just 13%, this is wonderfully balanced, aromatic and driven in this vintage. You may even feel this sense of spice that warms the palate, almost like you've had a warming Indian curry - it's not the alcohol but something else - maybe it's the lint. Unique and intriguing.Inc.
