Description of the Domaine Drouhin Joseph
Allen Meadows : 91-93 points
"More evident wood can be found on the moderately exotic aromas of white peach, lychee, jasmine tea and a hint of tangerine peel. Once again there is a really lovely mouthfeel to the delicious and vibrant flavors that, much like the Puligny villages, are not particularly concentrated yet the refreshingly dry and sneaky long finish is impressively complex. This elegant effort should drink well both young and with up to a decade of bottle age."

A very pungent nose speaks only of reduction and wood. Otherwise the succulent but more voluminous middle weight plus flavors exude a subtle minerality before concluding in solidly powerful
Domaine Trapet
Gevrey 1er Cru
The 2009 Gevrey reveals aromas of milk chocolate, violets, roses, and dark cherries. Suave, displaying massive amplitude
Domaine Etienne Sauzet
Puligny Garenne
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 Sylvie Esmonin
Gevrey-Chambertin
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
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
