  Once again the wood treatment is perceptible though it remains sufficiently subtle to not interfere with the appreciation of the very ripe aromas of roasted plum, cassis, violet and lovely array of exotic spice elements. The surprisingly full-bodied flavors are bigger than what is typical for RSV yet though the extra size and weight does not significantly compromise the refinement of the serious, mouthcoating and lingering finish where the only nit is noticeable warmth. While not quite as structured as the Bressandes, this too is going to need extended cellaring to arrive at its peak. Drink 2034+.

  Notes of ripe wild berries, loamy soil, exotic spices, smoked duck and rose petals introduce the 2019 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, a full-bodied, rich and muscular wine with an ample core of fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids. This is shaping up very well indeed.

  Here too moderate wood influence is present on the mentholated and more elegant aromas of red and dark raspberry, spice and violet. The medium-bodied flavors are not as dense, but they are notably finer before concluding in a dusty, firm, youthfully austere and more structured finale. This possesses excellent upside development potential but it's clear that most of 20 years is going to be necessary to fully resolve the tannins. Drink 2036+.

  Aromas of cherries, raspberries, warm spices and loamy soil introduce the 2019 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine that's enveloping and gourmand, structured around ripe tannins and succulent acids. Like the Romanée-Saint-Vivant, this is sourced from the Poisot family.

  Plump charming deep red purple. Headier than the Le Corton, perhaps a little more obviously ripe, plump dark raspberry style. The barrel is present but tamed, drier tannins at the finish though. Fair length, and the fruit comes back behind.

  As is almost always the case, this is more aromatically elegant with its pure and cool essence of dark raspberry and cherry aromas that are well-nuanced by wisps of earth, spice and rose petal. The sleekly muscular broad-shouldered flavors possess excellent concentration and plenty of sappy dry extract that coats the palate and buffers the markedly firm and sneaky long finale where a trace of warmth appears. If you have the patience this should make for a terrific wine in time.

  At present this isn't quite as fresh as the Gruenchers though it's otherwise aromatically similar. By contrast, there is even better energy to the beautifully delineated flavors that flash more evident minerality on the wonderfully complex and lingering finish. As is usually the case, the mid-palate isn't quite as dense, but it compensates by being finer and more sophisticated plus the supporting tannins are a bit firmer. This too is really lovely juice. Drink 2031+.

  Perfect fresh mid purple colour with a bouquet to match. The petit Vougeot has kept its balance better than the Gruenchers. Even so this is headily ripe fruit. There is some black cherry mixed in with fresher red fruit notes, a little bit of fresh peach, some mandarin peel. Plenty going on as sweetness fights with savoury, However I really like the overall balance.

  Spicier if equally restrained aromas are comprised mostly of wild red and dark berries plus whiffs of earth, humus, anise, violet and gentle wood. The sleekly textured and tautly muscular flavors are concentrated and powerful and the intensity is most impressive as it does a slow build from the mid-palate culminating in a superbly complex and well-balanced finale. This youthfully austere and beautifully harmonious effort, in fact the word Zen comes to mind, is also going to require extended cellaring in order to realize its full, and considerable, potential. One to look for. Drink 2034+.

  Offering up aromas of wild berries, cassis, peonies, exotic spices and orange rind, Fourrier's 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques is medium to full-bodied, lively and enveloping, with a deep and multidimensional core of fruit, bright acids and fine concentration. Seamless and elegant, it's an especially sensual vintage of this cvuée.

  The vines in the lower part date to 1955, those in the upper part 1910, another example of the exceptional vine heritage chez Fourrier. The 2019 Clos St-Jacques vieille vigne is another masterpiece in all departments, beginning with a deep, dark, crimson colour. It is brilliantly classy in bouquet, all is there, a little more in dark fruit than red, builds complexity the further back, a touch of liquorice. Clearly very fine and has retained freshness.

  An admirably pure, cool, restrained and decidedly earthy red and dark currant-scented nose that reflects ample amounts of classic Gevrey character as well as a plentitude of floral nuances. The muscular broad-shouldered flavors possess superb delineation and outstanding punch on the youthfully austere, markedly firm and tension-filled finale.

  Deep imperial purple colour, very saturated. There is a heavenly nose behind, just delivering everything at first sniff, no need to bother with individual fruit descriptors here, in the lap of luxury, but in perfect balance and indeed a particularly fine appealing fresh finish. Perfect cusp of black and red.

  Dense dark purple, the bouquet accentuates the savoury in a dark but not too sweet raspberry, which becomes more floral in the glass. There’s a lovely energy and now a little bit of sweetness too, but retains the savoury red fruit element. Interesting, complex wine.

  Another fine luxurious purple with an energetic nose. Actually, this Gevrey is quite discreet at first, but the wine is sensational on the palate, just on the cusp of red and black, enough of the classical savoury finish to prevent the ripeness getting out of hand. Beautifully managed and very persistent.

  This is the first wine to display any significant reduction and it's enough to flatten the fruit. It also extends to the palate of the bigger-bodied flavors that offer good richness and ample punch on the lingering finale that also reflects a milder touch of bitterness. Reduction on the palate is never a good sign but in this case my sense is that this will clean up once it's racked.

  The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Cherbaudes 1er Cru feels a little reduced on the nose at first, but eventually black cherries, iodine and violet aromas begin to make their presence felt.

  The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes felt a little too mature on the nose, the precocious red fruit laced with crème de cassis and fig aromas; I would like more delineation here.

  Rich dense purple. The nose is fabulous and intriguing because on the one hand is skilled winemaking and the feel of a sunny, ripe vintage. On the other, the natural pure classy character of the vineyard is clearly there to see.

  The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moines 1er Cru is tasted from the regular blend matured in oak, although readers should note that Fourrier is trialing some of this cuvée aged in amphora that may or may not be added. It has an attractive bouquet with vivacious Morello cherries, wild strawberry and orange rind aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe fruit, quite spicy with white pepper and touches of sage and oregano livening up the finish. It is already a very promising Gevrey, so I am fascinated to see whether the amphora component ends up being used.

  A brooding nose consists of essence of plum and black cherry scents that are cut with notes of warm earth and the sauvage. The rich, medium-bodied and reasonably concentrated flavors possess good power and muscle on the mouth coating and serious finale. This well made and youthfully austere effort will need at least 5 to 7 years first and potentially reward up to 15.

  An elegant, airy and exceptionally fresh nose combines notes of cassis, black cherry, humus-inflected earth and a whiff of the sauvage.

At least some patience will be required and this too is worthy of your interest.

  Here the nose if quite firmly reduced and revealing basically nothing today. This equally broad-shouldered flavors aren't quite as dense but they're certainly finer with good minerality and lift on the palate coating, balanced and beautifully persistent finale. This is very promising provided you have the patience to wait. Drink through 2035+.

  Incredibly dense purple rather than black. While the bouquet follows a similar refrain to others in the Gouges 2020 line-up, there is more natural class from the vineyard site below. The clear limestone feel comes up through the middle and the palate is entirely red fruit. This one will really work. Refined tannins here. And the right acid balance. Excellent.

  A more elegant nose features notes of herbal tea, red and dark currant and plenty of earth influences. There is both more energy and detail if less richness to the sleek, delicious and lingering finale that is refreshing even with a hint of warmth. This too is very good for its level and worth checking out. Drink 2026+.

  The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Village was completely destemmed. I had trouble getting my head around the bouquet; it came across quite reduced (which is not uncommon with young Gouges wines), missing some delineation and a bit blocky. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and offers commendable vigor, moderate depth and candied red fruit laced with orange peel toward the finish. Hopefully the aromatics will knit together with bottle age. Drink 2022 - 2030.

  Rich deep purple, this also has an almost too ripe nose but more in ultra ripe grapes rather than prunes, and the acidity is good. This will fill out nicely, there is already a wealth of flesh backed by a few tannins, so all should be fine. The Nuits-St-Georges certainly finishes on a fresher note.

  This is also quite firmly reduced and unreadable at present.

  The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru was a little more reduced than Gouges’s other cuvées, opening gradually to reveal blackberry, wild hedgerow and incense. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, lithe and silky in the mouth, and fleshy with a judicious touch of white pepper toward the finish. The shortfall in grip and substance is sufficiently compensated with elegance. Drink 2024 - 2048.

  Very reductive. Dense, almost sombre purple. A little toastiness too. Will rack end November to bottle Feb/March, and it needs the racking. Sweetly ripe, very dense, dark cherry here, not too cooked but it is quite a monster on the dark side. Just give it twenty years… Just a little fresher at the finish.

  Discreet wood influence surrounds the notably ripe and fresh aromas of cassis, plum liqueur, earth and evident sauvage wisps. There is excellent richness and volume to the suave, round and seductive mid-palate of the broad-shouldered flavors that contrast markedly with the very firmly structured, youthfully austere and impressively persistent finish. As is usually the case, this is very compact and backward and a wine that will require extended aging to reach its peak. Drink 2036+.

  Glowing exciting purple. The nose shows the oak a bit along with the power of the vintage. A huge luxury mouthful but very much in red fruit. This is heady enough but showing plums not prunes. It will be cleaned up by racking and I suspect that this is going to be very good.

  This too flirts with volatile acidity on the cooler though still liqueur-like aromas both red and dark pinot fruit that is laced with hints of violet, anise and earth.

  The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru, which was the first vineyard to be picked, has retained the precocious bouquet of blueberry and cassis, and strong violet scents emerge with time; you might describe this as "punchy." The palate is fleshy and generous, although it does not comes close to the precision and terroir expression exhibited by the 2019, which already has its nose in front.

  Deep dark colour, this is a brooding monster on the nose. Plump dark fruit, a little bit of blackberry, good weight, dancing energy behind too, fortunately. A rich and succulent but not too soft nose does start to emerge right at the finish.

  The cough drop and spice-inflected black fruit aromas flirt with volatile acidity. The rich, bold, powerful and full-bodied flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration before culminating in a very firm, rustic and serious finish where a touch of warm emerges. This robust effort is vaguely syrah-like and while it is perfectly good in its fashion, I can't say that it appeals to me.

  The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains 1er Cru a floral bouquet of violet-infused black and red fruit, touches of potpourri emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and quite edgy, with crisp, almost chalky tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Flecks of dark chocolate toward the finish just denude it of the same precision as the Les Pruliers at the moment.

  Picked in the morning and then in the afternoon the pickers checked bunch by bunch to remove any damaged grapes. Dense purple, veering to black with a hyper-concentrated nose, but it is still balanced. A huge sweet dark fruit mouthful with just a trace of the characteristic hillside austerity, but rather overwhelmed by the richness of the fruit. I think it will become more Vaucrains with age. Lovely peppery finish.

  Gouges noted that in 2015 the blend for this wine contains 40% from the 1er Chênes Carteaux so that there could be sufficient volume for their various markets. A background application of wood frames a similar if more complex and elegant array of ripe aromas. The sleek, round and delicious medium-bodied flavors possess lovely definition before terminating in a saline-inflected finish that is notably finer than it usually is. This offers simply terrific quality for its level and is highly recommended.

  The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges Village, a blend on different small blocks between the south and middle of the appellation, offers a fragrant, well-defined bouquet with red cherries and cranberry fruit. There is impressive mineralité and transparency considering this is a "mere" village cru. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, tart cherries mixed with bergamot and hints of early grey. I appreciate the complexity here and it marks a significant step up from the Bourgogne Rouge.

  (racked into tank and sulfured ten days before my November visit): Medium red. Rather cool aromas and flavors of redcurrant, cherry and coffee complicated by an element of smoky minerality. A supple wine of moderate flesh, offering subtle mid-palate sweetness and a suggestion of underbrush. Finishes with a rather suave dusting of tannins.

The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, a certain brightness to the fruit here - resolutely "classic" in style, a "cool" NSG but with very fine delineation on the finish. Not a long-term proposition perhaps, but a well-crafted drop of wine that will repay time in the cellar.

  Once again reduction dominates. By contrast there is a really lovely freshness and vibrancy to the intense and focused middle weight plus flavors that culminate in a powerful, rustic and beautifully persistent finish. This is a classic Nuits that is going to require close to a decade to be approachable and should reward 12 to 15 years of cellaring.

  Bright, deep red. A step up in stony pungency and aromatic lift from the Chênes Carteaux, offering perfumed scents and flavors of black cherry, violet, rose petal and spices. More rigorous in the mouth in the manner of Nuits-Saint-Georges from the south side of the village. Intense, solidly built wine with very good mouth coverage but no excess weight. Finishes with a restrained sweetness, a saline nuance and excellent length.

  The 2016 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru les Vaucrains was cropped at a paltry 11 hectoliters per hectare due to the frost. I have to admit that the aromatics lacked the natural harmony and cohesion of the Les Pruliers and the Porrets, the fruit perhaps a little subdued by some reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, quite fleshy with more red fruit than black. The backbone feels less strong here and as such I suspect this will be more approachable than its siblings.

  Healthy dark red. Slightly medicinal aromas of black cherry and chocolate are complicated by a whiff of animal fur. Plush and fine-grained, offering lovely pliancy to the flavors of dark berries, chocolate and tobacco; plumper than the Les Saint-Georges but without that wine's definition and cut. The very rich tannins coat the front teeth but this very ripe wine is already quite expressive.

  A brooding nose only reluctantly reveals notes of ripe and ultra-fresh dark currant, earth and a smoked game nuance. There is outstanding density to the powerful, robust and bold big-bodied flavors that possess seriously good concentration where the sap does a good job of buffering the very firm tannic spine shaping the superbly persistent finish. This is textbook Vaucrains and as such, it's going to need extended cellaring.

  As is usually the case, this possesses the spiciest nose in the range and in 2017 is almost Vosne-like with its notes of plum, violet, pomegranate, sandalwood and Asian-style tea. It is also the most refined wine in the range as the vibrant medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the chalky, lingering and well-balanced finale. If this can add depth with bottle age, it should merit the upper end of my range

  The 2016 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges was cropped at just 12 hectoliters per hectare this vintage. Like the Les Vaucrains, I just felt that the aromatics were a tad subdued compared to Les Pruliers or Les Porrets. It is nicely defined but I would like more vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannin, here the brightness and energy belatedly beginning to shine and it shows fine tension and elegance toward the finish. It is not the greatest Les Saint-Georges that Gouges will ever make, but it comes good at the end.

  Bright dark red. The most reduced of these 2016s on the nose today, offering scents of cherry, plum, licorice and mocha. Densely packed, fine-grained and sweet, showing terrific juicy cut and vinosity to its primary dark fruit, chocolate and violet flavors. Finishes with serious but essentially smooth tannins and rising purple fruits that saturate the mouth and leave the taste buds glistening. At once more refined and more powerful than the Vaucrains, this wine is built for a graceful evolution in bottle.

  This too is noticeably reduced and aromatically unreadable today.

  The wood treatment is a bit more evident than with any of the prior wines but not so much as to diminish the appeal of the earthier and cooler aromas of violet, plum and full-on sauvage notes. The delicious middle weight flavors are more refined than usual if not actually refined, all wrapped in detailed, focused and solidly powerful finish. Note that while this will certainly age, it's sufficiently round to make for reasonably good early drinking.

  The 2015 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru les Goulots is the first to be completely biodynamically farmed, although Florence told me that she only really noticed the difference apropos the color of the grapes in the 2016 vintage. It has a complex bouquet with redcurrant, cranberry and blood orange, very focused with deftly integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a little meatiness/dried blood developing underneath the carapace of black fruit, white pepper and Moroccan spice towards the finish.

  While the wood treatment is a bit more evident it still remains a background element on the ripe but airy nose of spicy, floral and earthy red berry fruit aromas. The elevation of the vineyards is especially noticeable in a ripe vintage like 2015 as the medium weight flavors display plenty of minerality and a racy energy that carries over to the saline finish that is shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins.

Winemaking is quite traditional, with grapes being de-stemmed and fermented in open-top cement tanks with natural yeasts. Elevage is around 18 months for the Bourgogne and village wines, while the premier and grand cru wines remain in barrel for 20-24 months. All wines are bottled without fining or filtration.

  Here there is that peculiar type of reduction that the Burgundians refer to as bourgeon de cassis. By contrast there is good verve and a really lovely texture to the nicely voluminous flavors that display noticeable rusticity on the youthfully austere, firm and lingering finish. Like several wines in the range, this will need to add depth but if it does, it could be really quite lovely. Drink through 2030+.

  A blend dominated by climat Sous la Velle, the 2020 Monthélie 1er Cru reveals aromas of blackberries, cassis and loamy soil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and ample palate that's seamless and penetrating. This is a fine success.

  Half a hectare, mostly in Sur Lavelle along with a few rows in Barbières and Vignes Rondes. 10 barrels this year. This cuvée will be just Sur Lavelle from 2021 with the rest going into the village wine. Fine mid purple, barely reduced, a little bit of blackcurrant leaf maybe. A certain sucrosity on the palate but this is a Monthelie which will give a lot of pleasure. 13.7% alcohol.

  Ripe and brooding aromas grudgingly display notes of poached plum, spice, a variety of floral elements and earth that are trimmed in admirably discreet wood. The dense, powerful and tautly muscular medium weight plus flavors exude evident minerality on the impressively complex, persistent and serious finale. This is excellent plus it's a wine that always ages well, almost irrespective of vintage. Drink through 2032+.

  The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots wafts from the glass with aromas of red berries, cherries, baking spices, orange rind and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's layered and seamless, with powdery tannins, bright acids and a long, saline finish.

  The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Chaffots 1er Cru has (another) very well defined bouquet with redcurrant, cranberry and sous-bois aromas, a little stemminess in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, impressive depth, but what underpins this premier cru is the freshness and tension on the finish. It should age with style. Superb. Drink 2025-2048.

  This slightly south facing vineyard is being farmed biodynamically and in 2020 produced 5.5. barrels in half a hectare. Rich deep purple, the nose is a little bit less accessible, a little bit stricter, than La Riotte, offering some blackcurrant and dark raspberry, then packs a real punch at the back, with still darker fruit, pierced by a saline note at the crunchy finish. Quite different in character all the way through. 13.85% alcohol.

  The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes opens in the glass with aromas of cassis, plums, rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, it's fleshy and enveloping, with a seductive, giving personality that belies its depth and concentration.

  The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes 1er Cru is located just under Clos de la Roche but on free-draining sandier soils. This is one cuvée where I feel that the aromatics suggest some over-maturity, light tinned prune notes tincturing the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet candied entry, kirsch and orange zest, pretty on the finish but missing the intellect of other vintages of Combottes that I have encountered from Lignier over the years. Drink 2023-2038.

  Planted 1957. 0.15ha has given two barrels which is a bit miserly. Sandy supple soil, Rich mid purple, dances across the palate, a touch of menthol here, brisk red fruit otherwise, quite ripe but picked in good time.

  From a small parcel near the Clos de la Roche in this premier cru nestled amid the grands crus. The vines were planted in 1957 in thin soils and produce a wine of intense concentration. Somewhat slow to open, with time it reveals an intense concentration of red and black fruit, savoury, mineral notes and prodigious extract, with the tannic grip to carry the wine to a very long finish. Drink 2024 - 2039.

  A deft dollop of wood can be found on the spicier and more floral inflected nose of cassis, black pinot fruit and a suggestion of exotic tea. The relatively supple medium weight flavors possess only slightly better mid-palate density though the longer finish is noticeably more tightly wound. This should be excellent in time. Drink 2031+.

  Very ripe aromas feature those of cassis, baked plum and soft spice wisps. The finer medium weight flavors possess very good density while flashing lovely minerality on the sappy, palate coating and youthfully austere finale. Drink 2026+.
