Description of the Domaine Comtes Lafon
Allen Meadows : 92-94 points
"A very pungent nose speaks only of reduction and wood.

Clos Des Lambrays
Morey Saint Denis
The colour is ruby with purple tints. The nose combines black cherry and fresh raspberry, peony and violet, with a touch of orange zest, undergrowth and limestone
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 Sylvie Esmonin
Clos St Jacques
Domaine Gouges Henri
Les Pruliers
Domaine Bertheau
Chambolle Charmes

Domaine Gouges Henri
Nuits-Saint-Georges
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 Livera Philippe
Chapelle Chambertin
This is quite deeply colored in the context of what is typical for the 2016 vintage. Ripe and deeply pitched aromas speak of plum liqueur, various dark berries and plenty of earth, sauvage and forest floor elements
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Clos St Philibert
Domaine Sylvie Esmonin
Gevrey Vv
Claire Naudin
Côte De Nuits
Domaine Bertheau
Chambolle 1er Cru
