“Girard’s Clos de Roi has been consistently impressive since it was first made in 2007, and this vintage is no exception. Situated at the northern end of a strip of premier cru vineyards to the west of Beaune it has produced a wine of ripe and forward dark cherry fruit that is entwined with a gentle and judicious use of oak and fresh acidity. The tannins are silky and refined boding well for a graceful future. ” (Mr.Wheeler tasting note)

Jasper Morris 88-90
“Two tanks instead of three this year, my sample representing the blend of both. A bright mid crimson. Joyous fresh red fruit, some strawberry, vivacious energy with the right acidity, the usual clean vanilla oak behind and good persistence.”
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2027

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.

2020 Domaine Joseph Voillot, Volnay, Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
Domaine Joseph Voillot holds 10 hectares of vineyards spanning the communes of Volnay and Pommard. Jean Pierre Charlot’s wines offer understatement and elegance, and in 2020 they have also... delivered fruit richness and an intensity rarely captured in Volnay and Pommard. These wines are impossible to ignore, showing modern classicism whilst perfectly expressing the wine’s unique terroirs. These are wines which speak so eloquently of their individual sites and are the essence of pinot noir. For buyers keen to experience the purity and poise of Volnay and Pommard in a great vintage, look no further than Domaine Joseph Voillot.
Voillot's Volnay Villages cuvée is not only a great alliteration but more importantly the epitome of everything the commune is famous for, with its expressive, floral nose, juicy, fresh red fruit and silky texture. Perfect for 7 to 10 years' ageing and a most apt introduction into the pleasure of delicate yet seductive red Burgundy.

2021 Benjamin Leroux, Bourgogne, Rouge 6x75cl
Made primarily from fruit taken from the Côte de Beaune and aged mostly in foudres with a small percentage of new wood, this has a delicious morello cherry and hedgerow fruit nose. Its intensity and balance are exceptional for an entry level cuvee, and it is persistent with its pleasure-giving already.

2018 Sylvie Esmonin, Gevrey-Chambertin 6x75cl
"The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, matured in 40% new oak with 40% whole bunch, has an intense bouquet of black cherries, iodine and blueberry aromas that burst from the glass. The intense palate... is medium-bodied with supple tannins, blood-orange-infused red fruit and a touch of pain d’épices and black pepper toward the finish. Fine." 90-92, Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

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

2020 Domaine Lecheneaut, Bourgogne, Pinot Noir 12x75cl
"From below Nuits, aged in older barrels. Incredibly concentrated purple despite 30% whole bunch. This Bourgogne has a powerful bouquet of dark raspberry fruit, but not heavy and not over ripe. A... gorgeous succulence of fruit with fine acidity. This has concentration at the back, a sturdy and serious Bourgogne.” Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com
