Domaine Esmonin Sylvie Gevrey-Chambertin 2020
Burgundy wine Village
Ripe and pretty but somber as the pungently and deeply pitched earthy dark berry fruit aromas exhibit nuances of game and underbrush that are picked up on the textured, dense and mouth coating medium full flavors that offer excellent depth and length. This is not an especially elegant wine but it's a classic old school Gevrey
Allen Meadows : 89 points

"This is a notably ripe 2017 with its dark fruit aromas that include cassis, plum and newly turned earth. The vibrant, intense and solidly concentrated medium weight flavors exude a discreet minerality onto the complex and persistent bitter cherry pit-inflected finish that possesses just enough rusticity to warrant mentioning."

Volnay 1er Cru
Domaine Bertheau
Chambolle 1er Cru
More complex yet more reserved on the nose with the hallmark sexy, spicy and pure black fruit aromas that are followed by deeply pitched

Chambolle Musigny

Pouilly Le Trio
The nose combines citrus zest, white peach and dried flowers, with a touch of toasted almond. The palate is full yet controlled, carried by fine acidity and a mineral backbone

Côte De Nuits
Domaine Bart
Clos De Bèze
An exuberantly spicy nose combines notes of plum, dark currant, violets and underbrush. There is terrific intensity and a lovely minerality to the ripe and well-delineated medium weight
Domaine Anne Gros
Echezeaux
The 2019 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a clean and very precise bouquet: nicely focused with palpable mineralité even at this early juncture
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Aux Murgers
Domaine Niellon
Clos De La Maltroie
Domaine Bertheau
Les Amoureuses
The beautifully layered nose offers another small step up in elegance and a large step up in aromatic complexity and spiciness to the essence of red pinot fruit and intense floral influence
