Description of the Domaine Comtes Lafon
Robert Parker : 93-95 points
"The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru les Champans is bestowed a more powerful nose than the Clos des Chenes with perfumed, floral red and black fruit, the new oak nicely interwoven. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe and succulent tannins, real depth and body here with great nervosité on the detailed, almost electrifying finish. What a fantastic Champans from Dominique Lafon! This should be sensational once in bottle."
Allen Meadows : 93 points
"Lafon noted that this was off -50% in 2016. Despite the restrained quality of the cool, ultra-fresh and pure liqueur-like red berry fruit the breath of spice influence is quite attractive. There is excellent complexity, intensity and power to the well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a mouth coating if youthfully austere finish offering excellent length and fine balance."
Domaine Bertheau
Chambolle Musigny
A pretty bouquet of raspberries, dried flowers and a classy framing of new oak introduces the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village, a medium-bodied, succulent and open-knit
Domaine J-L Chave
Saint-Joseph
Only 2 bottles/ pers. Saturated red. Powerful aromas of black raspberry, candied cherry, licorice and smoky minerals. Pretty sexy wine
Domaine Dauvissat
Chablis Séchet
Hubert Lamy
Puligny 1er Cru
Les Tremblots is a lieu-dit in the south of Puligny-Montrachet, on the border with Chassagne. Its name probably comes from the aspen trees (trembles) that once grew there

Pierre Vincent Girardin
Meursault
The wine shows a nose of white fruit, peach and acacia blossom, with a touch of almond and a hint of smoke. The palate is full and concentrated yet fresh and saline, with a clean citrus finish
Domaine Bart
Chambertin
An ultra-spicy and markedly floral nose combines notes of red cherry, wild currant and earth with those of soft game and underbrush nuances. The polished, sophisticated and intense middle weight

Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Chambolle Musigny
Clos Des Lambrays
Morey-Saint-Denis
2024 was a cool, difficult vintage in Burgundy, marked by rain and mildew pressure, with very low yields. It produced lighter, more delicate reds built on freshness. This village Morey should show a light ruby colour, a nose of cherry, raspberry
Maxime Cottenceau
Bourgogne
The 2022 is pale in colour, with a discreet nose of red and black berries, purple flowers and forest floor, plus a touch of cedar. The palate is broad and silky, more powerful than expected, with the ripe fruit of a sunny vintage
Jessica Litaud
Saint Véran
The nose offers white peach, citrus and white flowers, with a touch of hazelnut. The palate is fleshy and creamy, carried by bright acidity and chalky minerality
