  An airy, fresh and ripe nose combines notes of plum liqueur with a lovely plethora of floral and discreet spice elements. The super-sleek and beautifully delineated flavors are not particularly concentrated but they display a taut muscularity on the superbly long and impeccably well-balanced finale that is firm enough to repay extended keeping. A Bonnes Mares of relative refinement and one of the better vintages for this wine in recent memory. Drink through 2037+.

  Aromas of dark cherries, minty berries, rose petals, sweet spices and orange zest introduce the 2022 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru, a full-bodied, ample and seamless wine with a rich, layered core of fruit that's framed by supple, powdery tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, saline finish.

  William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

  Medium deep and bright purple. As always has the slightly coffee torrefaction nose but with pretty red fruit beneath. Juicy on the palate, at the front then a little more austere behind. But this is one of the more attractive versions I have had here. I said as much to Frédéric. “Well its taken 20 years to persuade you, Jasper”, he responded – “but I have to admit you were right, at the start!”. Maybe a fourth star next year? Drink from 2032-2038.

  This lovely, exuberant Bonnes-Mares shows ripe dark fruit aromas of mulberry and plum and hints of violet, dark chocolate, and earth. The texture is substantial but not astringent, with richness but no heaviness. A bigger wine than the Musigny, but not awkward in any way. Although expressive in barrel, this may shut down and require up to five years to show well once bottled. This is top-quality Bonnes-Mares done with an eminently light touch. Drink 2028-2075.

  An exuberantly fresh nose features notes of grapefruit, green apple and a whisper of spice. There is both excellent volume and mid-palate density to the delicious and vibrant medium weight flavors that conclude in a tangy, nicely dry and refreshing finale.

  The 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale is more overtly structured from bottle than I perceived from barrel, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, vine smoke and earthy spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, taut and chalky palate that will reward some patience.

  The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de la Maréchale 1er Cru has a pretty, floral nose with pressed rose petal filtering through the red fruit. Transparent. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, light for a Premier Cru yet quite vivacious with finely chiselled tannins towards the tart finish. Will be difficult to resist young. Drink 2024-2034.

  This Nuits-Saint-Georges has an astonishingly expressive nose of sour cherries, pomegranate and blood orange, the oak almost completely masked by these aromas. The marriage of ripeness and vibrancy, fine tannins and stony acidity is very impressive. Interesting touch of liquorice at the long, bright and focused finish.
  94-95 points
  Stuart Pigott - JamesSuckling.com

  A light to medium purple. Mugnier elegance meets the Maréchale, so this is more in fruit than flowers after the ethereal Chambolle. There is enough depth of fruit here, both on the nose and palate, followed by a fresh finish, fruit plus acidity with also a light tannin or two. Drink from 2026-2032.

  Mugnier’s nearly ten-hectare monopole at the southern extreme of Prémeaux-Prissey has suffered in recent years: hail in 2018, coulure in 2019, drought in 2020, and frost in 2021. It has produced a bit more than half a normal harvest this year, but what is left is lovely indeed, with lush, pretty aromas of raspberry with floral notes and a delicate, supple texture on the palate that is ethereal yet oddly persistent. It is far from the most structured in the portfolio but is among the most approachable. Drink 2025-2040.

  Here too the nose is quite ripe but also quite fresh with its aromas that are comprised mostly by the essence of plum, spice and pretty floral nuances. There is both fine volume and verve to the slightly more refined and more mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that deliver excellent length on the firmly structured, ever-so-mildly warm and youthfully austere finale. This is not as refined as the exquisite 2019 version, but it is more powerful and broad-shouldered. A qualitative choice. Drink 2030+.

  A brooding, slightly riper and more deeply pitched nose features notes of poached plum, cassis and plenty of spice and floral nuances and in particular violet. There is very good punch to the delicious and suave medium-bodied flavors that exude more evident minerality on the firm, serious and youthfully austere finish. This is perhaps not quite as refined as it usually is but the complexity and persistence are excellent and overall, this is particularly impressive given the hailstorms of 2018. Drink 2026+.

  From bottle, the 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale is still marked by the extremes of the vintage. It offers up attractive aromas of cassis, cherries, rose petals and violets, but it's rich, firm and rather heady on the palate, bearing the stamp of the two hailstorms that struck this site. Mugnier wonders if it might evolve like his 1991, so perhaps time will be kind to it. Drink 2026 - 2050.

  The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de la Maréchale 1er Cru was tasted from a blend of five cuvées. It has an attractive bouquet of mainly black fruit laced with black tea and bay leaf notes, plus touches of rose petal in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, tending more toward a red fruit profile, with wonderful salinity on the finish. Good potential. Excellent. Drink 2022 - 2040.

  Fine purple, a certain elegance then some breadstick aromatics which I associate with low level volatility. A wealth of liquid black cherries on the nose, some sandalwood, some spice, more tannic structure, more Nuits-St-Georges than Clos de la Maréchale in a sense.

  The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale is a little more introverted after its recent bottling, unwinding in the glass with a reticent bouquet of red berries, raw cocoa, sweet soil tones and dried flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with good depth at the core and a more structured, introverted profile than the Chambolle that preceded it. The missing ingredient here is a little time.

  A markedly earthy nose features notes of various dark berries and hints of game and similar green tea nuances. There is both good detail and a lovely underlying tension to the middle weight flavors that are not quite as refined but offer a bit more complexity on the lingering finish where the intensity and power really build from the mid-palate. This delicious effort should amply repay mid-term cellaring.

  The 2015 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Aux Argillas has a lovely oyster shell tinged bouquet with joyous black cherry and bilberry aromas. I appreciate the precision of this Nuits Saint-Georges, hints of violets emerging with time.

Keeping its cards close to its chest, I suspect it will offer much more with two or three years in bottle.

  A mildly toasty nose still allows the cool, pure and ripe wild red berry aromas that are liberally laced with earth, game and humus wisps to be appreciated. There is excellent density and punch to the brooding, intense and muscular flavors that exude evident minerality onto the presently linear, rustic and moderately austere finish. This will require a few years to better harmonize but the underlying material is so good that this should ultimately be excellent. Recommended if you have the patience.

  (from 45-year-old vines): Medium red with ruby tones. More complex than the Gevrey Champerrier but also with obvious torrefaction notes of coffee and dark chocolate to its dark fruit aromas. A step up in intensity and precision, with cassis and blackberry fruit flavors complicated by violet and bitter chocolate nuances. A rather feminine, north-side Nuits with moderate flesh but very good definition and length. The rather delicate tannins are nicely buffered by a touch of saline minerality. I like this.

  This is the first wine to display appreciable wood toast but not so much as to really fight with the notably ripe spiced cassis and warm earth aromas. The dense, serious and vibrant medium-bodied flavors also possess a velvety texture before culminating in a palate coating finale that delivers excellent persistence for a villages level Nuits. This is definitely worth considering.

  (from 80-year-old vines adjacent to Vosne-Romanée): Moderately saturated dark red. Crushed blackberry and spicy oak scents are lifted by a subtle violet topnote. Full, supple and very ripe, with the high percentage of millerandé grapes giving the wine a creamier texture and silky tannins. Late pungent minerality nicely draws out the finish. This round but fresh wine nicely combines Nuits power and Vosne elegance.

  Assembled in tank. One third whole bunch vinification was used. Dark purple centre with a slightly lighter rim. A solid rich heady nose, partly the vintage and partly the proximity to Vosne.

  Here the nose is noticeably riper yet still agreeably fresh with its array darker berries, spice and discreet floral hints, especially violet. The middleweight flavors are rich to the point of opulence thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that enrobes the supporting tannins on the sneaky long finish.

Otherwise, there is better volume and an attractive texture to the delicious, succulent and punchy medium-bodied flavors that possess slightly better complexity and persistence on the balanced if mildly rustic finale. Drink from 2026+.

  Tasted from barrel, unracked, so rather reduced. This soon blows off. 30% whole bunch vinification. Another imperial purple and a robust but very intense bouquet. Inky depths here, this is a pretty intense wine with sucrous raspberry fruit and excellent length.

  Les Condemennes ripens very quickly but now they know and pick here first. Rich purple, with a bouquet to follow suit. Sunny ripe dark fruit but less exaggerated than the 2018 last year. Stops short of raisins but will suit those who like the riper side. Fair length, slightly less acidity, but attractive, and balanced enough.

  Initially there is a touch of reduction though some aggressive swirling progressively helps to reveal aromas of spiced plum, dark berries and a hint of underbrush. There is both better volume and density along with a more refined texture to the succulent and suave medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a serious, youthfully austere and impressively persistent finish. This is excellent and packed with upside aging potential. Drink from 2031+.

  Mid purple, with a no more intense but slightly more refined bouquet. There is a delicious sweetness of deep raspberry fruit, stretches well across the middle, very pure, which shows the class of the vineyard without quite matching the character of the Confuron Chaboeufs.

  This too flirts with reduction though once again aggressive swirling lifts it to reveal spice and floral nuances on the red and dark currant-suffused nose. There is excellent vibrancy to the super-sleek, well-detailed and utterly delicious middle weight flavors that culminate in a highly complex, classy and sneaky long finish where a touch of bitter chocolate slowly emerges. This is lovely and a wine that should age effortlessly. Drink from 2031+.

  Fine deep purple, the nose just suggests an immensity to follow, but it retains its restraint. Entirely harmonious in the mouth, with a luxurious density of fruit, and while the tannins are submerged the acidity is just present. The style is slightly more in red fruit than black, though both play their part in the ensemble. Quite a robust Romanée-St-Vivant, but plenty to look forward too.

  This is also quite firmly reduced, and I would again suggest decanting this if you're going to try a bottle young. More interesting are the slightly less concentrated but finer with delicious medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle salinity on the more complex and persistent finale. Worth a look provided you intend to cellar it for at least a few years first so that the nose can better harmonize. Drink from 2025+.

  2018 is their third vintage since recuperating three ouvrées of old vines, originally in a poor state. Dense rich purple colour. Intense nose suggesting firm structure. Still very primary fruit notes, reminiscent of summer pudding with attendant good acidity. Firm style.

  Here too there is enough reduction present to warrant a thorough aeration. The more finely textured flavors possess better detail and mid-palate density, all wrapped in a stony and very firmly structured finish that flirts with rusticity. As the description suggests, this is somewhat awkward today though there is so much underlying material that this should ultimately come together. Drink from 2029+.

  From several plots, notably Condemenes supported by Pas de Chat and Derrière le Four. Rich purple centre with lighter rim. Very slight reduction on the nose. This is a bit cooked fruit in style, but still remains enough freshness to survive. Succulent but perhaps not fine and on the edge of volatility.

  Reduction dominates the nose at present. Otherwise there is both good underlying tension and definition to the muscular middle weight plus flavors that flash evident power on the moderately firm and rustic finale. This is very Nuits in character and should age accordingly. Drink from 2031+.

  Half old and half young vines, with 7 new barrels out of 10. Fine deep red to purple colour here with an explosive but balanced nose. Not as lush as some cuvees, retaining excellent balance and complex aromatics of dark red fruit, grenadine, slightly blacker fruit on the palate, grainy but ripe tannins, great balance between muscle and finesse. The young vines help the balance here. This could yet grow into a fifth star.

  Made from old vines with 4 new barrels out of 6.5. Intense purple. The proximity of Vosne-Romanée shows, this is pure, very intense, almost linear still some red fruit keeping the blacker notes fresh. There is currently a slightly hard dry finish which should soften with more time in barrel.

  An extravagantly spicy and subtly perfumed nose is comprised by notes of various dark berries and exotic Asian-style tea. The rich but sleekly textured medium-bodied flavors possess plenty of dry extract that buffers the moderately firm tannic spine on the minerally and powerful finish. This is a relatively big VRBM that is built-to-age. Drink from 2031+.

  Brisk bright purple, displaying a heady nose, with a bit of blackberry, but not lacking freshness. Intense up front but continues through to the back, some red raspberry in the mix, middleweight with a touch of elegance, which will please Confuron doubters.

  Thomas Bouley is very much the insiders secret, more famous with his fellow vignerons than with collectors chasing the next 'superstar' seen on social media. That Thomas resists putting his name on the front label of his wines (preferring to keep his father's) is typical of his humble and low key approach. Based in Volnay may also add to his relative anonymity, however we suspect this is changing rapidly as word gets out of just how spectacular his wines are, and of the continual improvement seen since he began working with his father in the early 2000's.

  Meticulous attention to detail in both the vineyard and winery are notable here, and key to why Thomas is so highly regarded by his peers. Yields are moderate, and in the cellar whole cluster ferments are used more with his clay rich sites (Pommard Fremiers, Volnay Clos des Chenes), while those with thin white soils (Pommard Rugiens-Hauts, Volnay Caillerets) are largely destemmed. New oak use is minimal, and each wine spend two winters on fine lees before bottling.

  The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets wafts from the glass with aromas of red berries, plums, rose petals, sweet spices, forest floor and savory bass notes.

  The 2019 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru offers darker fruit on the nose compared to Bouley's other cuvées, touches of blackberry, wilted rose petals and crushed stone.

  The 2019 Pommard Village is terrific, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, raspberries, rose petals and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and chalky, it's the most tightly wound, incisive communal appellation in the cellar, concluding with a long, saline finish. As usual, it mostly derives from the cool, northeasterly exposures of the windy lieu-dit of Valmuriens, where the soils are rich in active calcium. Forget it for a decade and then reap the rewards.

  The 2018 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru comes from 45- to 65-year-old vines in a more exposed location than the Les Carelles, at 300m altitude. This year it includes 40% whole cluster. It has more complexity and precision on the nose by comparison with the Les Carelles, featuring lovely raspberry and wild strawberry fruit laced with crushed stone aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. A finely tuned, precise Volnay with superb precision on the finish. This comes highly recommended. Drink 2022 - 2045.

  Dense purple centre. A high-class nose, albeit quite discreet at first. Thomas felt that his Clos des Chênes used to be on the massive side before he tamed it with some whole bunch vinification. This has the most significant volume of fruit of all in the cellar, dark with the beginnings of some chocolate. Slightly dry tannins here but the fruit should win.

  Spicy purple fruit aromas are set off by pretty floral nuances that include both violet and rose petal. The more refined middle weight flavors possess excellent cut and drive that carries over to the beautifully refined finish that exhibits excellent length. This almost painfully intense effort is even firmer and clearly in need of time but it's already impressive in the way that the finish really fans out as it sits on the palate. In a word, classy.

  Firm reduction renders the nose impossible to assess. While there is good energy and detail to the middle weight flavors, the clipped and short finish is rendered equally tough to read by the abundant gas. I suspect that this will be fine once it's cleaned up, but my projected range is necessarily somewhat provisional. Drink from 2026+.

  Pretty and perfumed, the 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Village opens in the glass with notes of cherries, raspberries, rose petals and spices, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with a lively core of fruit and refined tannins, it concludes with a long, floral finish. As I've written before, this bottling is largely derived from the lieu-dit Beaux Bruns, part of which is only entitled to the communal appellation—supplemented by some fruit from lieu-dit Derrière la Four. Drink 2025 - 2045.

  The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Village comes from two parcels, 80% from Beaux Bruns and 20% from Derrière La Forge. The first barrel selected showed some reduction. The second was much better, offering well-defined brambly red fruit intermixed with light earthy aromas. The palate is ripe and quite candied on the entry, with vanilla-tinged red fruit, a slightly confit style, and a sweet, candied, lightly spiced finish. Not profound, but quite seductive. Drink 2022-2032.

  Made from 75% Beaux Bruns and 25% Derrière le Four, purchased in 2005 and 2009 respectively. Intense purple with a reductive nose. Quite heavy at the moment with dark fruit, and a lot of oak.

  An elegant and airy mix features notes of red cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and spice. The sleek, intense and very well-detailed, indeed the mouthfeel of the middle weight flavors is chiseled though the tannins shaping the short finish are grippy and serrated. Drink 2023+.

  Blossoming in the glass with a lovely bouquet of raspberries, cherries, dried flowers and blood orange, the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village is medium to full-bodied, lively and precise, with fine-boned structuring tannins and succulent acids. As usual, it's largely derived from the lieu-dit Beaux Bruns, part of which is only entitled to the communal appellation.

  The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village comes from two climats, the majority from Les Beaux Bruns. This cru seemed to be missing some lift and energy on the nose, coming across rather static in the glass. The fleshy, ripe palate offers maraschino cherries, raspberry preserve and a touch of white pepper. Forward and willing to please, yet not a profound Chambolle-Musigny. Drink 2021-2028.

  Here there is a particular kind of reduction that the Burgundians refer to as bourgeon de cassis, or black currant blossom; this kind of reduction tends to dissipate easily though it does dominate the fruit when it's present. The refined and highly energetic flavors possess a lovely mid-palate texture with plenty of minerality while exhibiting good persistence on the somewhat skinny and lean finish. This may well flesh out with a few years of bottle age and my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt. Drink 2025+.

  The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles is a touch more reserved, unwinding to reveal a brooding bouquet of cherries, berries, dark chocolate, grilled meats and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, lively and precise, it's concentrated and introverted, with powdery structuring tannins and a mineral finish.

  The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 1er Cru has a pretty bouquet of vivacious red currant, raspberry and crushed strawberry fruit, along with light rose petal notes and hints of quince and orange pith. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannins, and a keen thread of acidity lends real tension and precision toward the finish. This is one of Boillot’s best 2018s. Drink 2023-2038.

  Other Reviews....
  A very spicy and ultra-fresh nose is comprised by the essence of red currant, pomegranate and a touch of green tea. There is excellent punch and once again very good detail to the focused medium-bodied flavors that possess solid complexity and persistence though the finish, in much the same fashion as the Evocelles, is somewhat skinny and lean. This too may well flesh out with a few years of bottle age and my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt as this is usually a very reliable wine. Drink 2028+.

  The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champonnet has turned out brilliantly, wafting from the glass with a beautiful bouquet of cherries, cassis, wild berries, rose petals and sweet soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegant and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit, powdery tannins and succulent acids.

  The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Champonnets 1er Cru is bestowed with darker fruit than the Evocelles at the moment, offering well-defined blackberry and light briary aromas. There is a pleasing minerally undercurrent at play here. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins lending fine backbone, but this does not possess the same degree of precision and charm as the Evocelles toward the finish. Let’s see if it develops by the time of bottling. Drink 2023-2037.

  A much more deeply pitched nose grudgingly offers up notes of poached plum, dark currant, earth and a lovely range of discreet spice elements. There is better volume and richness to the sappy and slightly more complex flavors that possess slightly better finishing balance though the tannins are still inelegant and somewhat coarse. Drink 2028+.

  Boillot's ancient vines have produced three barrels of the glorious 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes, a striking wine that exhibits aromas of cherries, cassis, rich soil tones, citrus rind and violets. Medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's voluminous and concentrated, concluding with a long and lively finish. As I wrote last year, this cuvée hails from a parcel planted a century ago, and it contains some 5% small-berried selections of Gamay.

  The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cherbaudes 1er Cru offers a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, intermixed with truffle oil and dried blood aromas; quite complex and engaging. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple opening, then fleshy and lightly spiced. It does not quite kick on as I was expecting and seems rather conservative toward the finish, although maybe it has something up its sleeve for later. Drink 2023-2037.
