“From a tiny parcel of old vines in Monts Luisants, the 2019 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, raw cocoa, cassis, orange rind, spices and petals. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it’s serious and tightly wound, with lively acids and considerable reserves of fine, chalky tannins. Long and mineral, this will be well worth seeking out.” 93-95 pts., William Kelley, robertparker.com

Jasper Morris 96
The miniature holding of two ouvrées has provided just one 350 litre barrel, new wood, which was bottled by hand just a few days before I tasted. A very pleasing purple with huge density in the centre. The barrel is making little if any impact. It is ripe though, hedonistic strawberries with quite a punch to finish. Superb length though, and very good tensile strength, with a range of deep red to blue fruits.

"Fréderic Magnien is the fifth generation to run this biodynamic family estate in Morey-Saint-Denis. This is one of the finest estates in the region with wines of extraordinary aroma, purity of... fruit and elegance partnering the trademark Magnien richness and depth, with subtle use of new oak. Under any normal circumstances these are burgundies to make you sit up and take notice." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2019 Sylvie Esmonin, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieillles Vignes 6x75cl
Holding fast to Gevrey's famous structural character, Sylvie's village Gevrey-Chambertin takes on bolder dimensions this year. Alongside the classic notions of summer pudding, raspberry compote and... cranberry aromatics come more intense notions of black cherry and spiced plum. There is exotic spice, cinnamon and all-spice and even a hint of mocca, too. Generous and giving with succulent red berry flavours, there is exquisite freshness and structure which help foil this village wine par excellence.

2021 Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Clos Prieur 6x75cl
"Delicate and refined, it provides the yin to the yang of its more robust neighbour, Petite Chapelle, giving us once again an open and aromatic style of Gevrey. There is a great weight of fruit with... plenty of tension and underlying power, but it is overlaid with a real elegance and subtly that sets it apart from its more muscular compatriots. Delightful."

2021 Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Beaune Premier Cru, Les Teurons 6x75cl
"Nicholas and David’s plot in “Les Teurons” is around 1.2-hectares and was planted in 1978 in a well-sited stony-rich site close to sheltering woods, The wine has a perfumed toasted cherry... nose, with an added peppery sappiness and delightful tension. There are bright red berries on the palate, which are underpinned with a crunchy and precise balance of oak and fresh acidity. It is so well put together and will unfold in a few years to give enormous pleasure." (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Champonnet 6x75cl
Juicy black cherry flecked with black pepper and clove follow the seductive, open aromatics that a whole-bunch fermentation approach provides. Intensely flavoured, firmly structured, finishing long and savoury. Great ageing potential in the 2021. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2021 Domaine Anne-Francoise Gros, Vosne-Romanee, Les Chalandins 6x75cl
An ethereal, single climat Vosne-Romanée bursting with cherry and berry fruit; a silky mouthfeel and tannins and in the background, a wisp of toasty oak. Exceptional quality achieved at this level. (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

2020 Aurelien Verdet, Vosne-Romanee, Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
Once again Aurélien demonstrates his superb understanding of terroirs, and handles the fruit in such a way as to produce a textbook Vosne, all velvet, raspberry coulis and white chocolate. There is excellent structure here, and it is built to age gracefully for the next decade easily.

2020 Domaine Rossignol Trapet, Beaune, Les Mariages 12x75cl
The delightfully named “Les Mariages” vineyard historically saw newlyweds, encouraged by the two churches nearby, ambling through the rows of pinot noir after their nuptials, and meeting there. ... It is on the lower slopes adjacent to the premier cru vineyards of Les Grèves and Les Toussaints and gives rise to wines that offer more than a passing nod to those from these outstanding terroirs.
Nicolas’ ‘Les Mariages’ is a very pretty and easy-going wine that oozes ripe berry fruits and has a delightful, subtle, tannic structure. It is undeniably enjoyable now but there is certainly no rush to drink this, and patience will undoubtedly be rewarded.

2020 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, Les Millandes 6x75cl
This wine comes from a great vineyard scattered with small stones and abutting the grand cru of Mazis-Chambertin. It creates a very elegant and dynamic wine with delicious layers of morello cherry and fresh herbs that are tempered by a delightful freshness and complexity. A wonderful example to be savoured over the next 10 to 15 years.

2020 Domaine Taupenot-Merme, Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, La Riotte 6x75cl
"The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis La Riotte 1er Cru is expressive on the nose with dark berry fruit, sous-bois, just a touch of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry, ripe red cherry... mixed with allspice and white pepper, segueing into a quite a concentrated finish with a long spicy after that might deceive you into think there are stems here. One of my picks from Taupenot-Merme this year." 93-95 pts, Neal Martin, www.vinous.com
