Vinous (90-93)(Leroux lost one-third of the crop here but noted that the wall around Clos Vougeot gave his vines some protection): Dark red. Inviting ripe perfume of cherry, raspberry and licorice. Distinctly fatter and sweeter in the mouth than the Echézeaux, conveying a more pliant texture and lovely perfume as well as a strong mineral character. Then tougher on the back end, finishing with substantial chewy, tongue-dusting tannins and an impression of medicinal reserve. |

Vinous (91)Good medium red. Musky red berries, spices and dried flowers on the scented nose. Silky and seamless on the palate, displaying rare volume for village wine. Very sexy round, dry village wine with subtle Gevrey soil tones. The long finish features lingering red berry flavors. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a slightly stemmy bouquet (around 20% whoe bunch), dark berry fruit laced with cold tea, just a slight beetroot note emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, firm grip, fine depth with a crisp finish. Very fine. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)Aged in single and double barrels for the first year, 15% new wood, then racked to foudre. An even and charming purple. The bouquet is delicious, half southern end (strawberries) half Brochon (richer fruit) together makes a great blend, with excellent energy at the back. And the good news is that there is plenty of it: 16,000 bottles! Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted: October 2023. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru has a detailed bouquet of tertiary red berry fruit that just needs a little more intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins. Quite a masculine NSG, leading to a slightly hard finish. Racking will soften this up and my score is based on that being carried out. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Boudots 1er Cru, which contains 50% whole bunches, has a vibrant bouquet of red fruit infused with hints of quince and orange blossom; veins of blue fruit emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, almost pastille-like in terms of purity, and the finish is sensual and quite approachable. This will drink young but has the substance to give 15+ years of pleasure. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)5 Star Wine. Benjamin loves Nuits-St-Georges in 2023 which is just as well because there is virtually nothing in 2024. Mostly destemmed. This has beautiful floral qualities, superb poise on the first half of the palate then develops a greater plummy richness behind. Archetypal Nuits in a very good way! Drink from 2031-2037. Tasted Oct 2024. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-90)There was enough fruit to make use of a good mix of barrel shapes and sizes, as St-Romain was not much frosted. Pale colour with a light green tint. Fresh bouquet, some lime blossom, good tension here with a mineral backbone, and an attractive finish. Drink from 2024-2027. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2021 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a clean, lifted bouquet with red cherries, raspberry and bergamot scents that unfold in the glass. The palate has a little more flesh than its peers, well-judged acidity and a slightly meaty finish with a hint of pain d'épices. Moderate length. Give this a year in bottle to see what it can do. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

The Benoit Beaufort Blanc de Noirs Brut Grand Cru NV is a distinguished expression of Champagne excellence. Crafted in the prestigious Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Bar, this exquisite Blanc de Noirs is predominantly made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. Under the meticulous stewardship of the Beaufort family, renowned for their unwavering commitment to quality, each grape is hand-selected to ensure only the finest fruit is used. Employing the traditional méthode champenoise, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by an extended lees ageing that imparts complex flavours and a refined texture. The Benoit Beaufort Blanc de Noirs Brut Grand Cru NV exhibits a brilliant golden hue with a persistent, elegant mousse. On the palate, it reveals layers of red berries, brioche, and subtle citrus notes, balanced by a vibrant acidity and a lingering finish. This non-vintage masterpiece exemplifies the sophistication and heritage of Benoit Beaufort, making it a superb choice for discerning wine enthusiasts. |
