Description of the Domaine Comtes Lafon
Allen Meadows : 92-94 points
"A restrained nose is reserved to the point of being almost mute though aggressive swirling eventually liberates notes of green fruit, wood toast, lemon and spiced pear. The gorgeously textured, concentrated and muscular broad-shouldered flavors manage to be at once powerful yet caressing while delivering first-rate length on the bone-dry finish. This is actually a bit finer than it usually is while still packing plenty of punch. Patience advised."
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 Bertheau
Chambolle Charmes
Here the nose is really quite elegant with its assortment of red cherry, raspberry, lavender, violet and soft spice wisps
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Corton Perrières
Domaine Bart
Bonnes Mares
A distinctly earthy and spicy nose flashes notes of dark cherry, rose petal and raspberry. The much richer and more concentrated big-bodied flavors possess excellent power on the robust, dusty and mouth coating 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 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 Sylvie Esmonin
Clos St Jacques
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Nuits Boudots
Domaine Anne Gros
Chambolle Musigny
Domaine Niellon
Clos De La Maltroie
The racy, intense and notably finer middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured finale that is both more persistent and more complex
Hubert Lamy
D Chez Edouard
The 2022 shows a gently reductive nose of pear, white flowers, hazelnut and wet stones, with a hint of orange blossom
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
