"The 2022 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has an attractive bouquet: freshly squeezed lemon, orange pith and grapefruit. The palate is medium-bodied, the 50% new oak neatly integrated. There’s fine depth even if the previous vintage is endowed with a little more mineralité on the finish. Drink over the next 12 to 15 years.”

"The 2022 Musigny Grand Cru contains 50% whole bunches and was raised entirely in new oak. It comprises four 150-liter barrels. Maybe that smaller size means greater wood impact on the nose: at the moment, it just occludes the fruit profile, the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe tannins, dark berry fruit, black pepper, dark chocolate, mint, and a touch of cloves. The finish has fine weight and depth, although it will require a decade to soak up the new wood. It's a fine Musigny, but you'll need to taste this after time in bottle to gauge the quality.”

"The 2022 Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru has a potent nose: think of grandmother's potpourri you smelled in her old house. It almost overwhelms that red fruit behind it. The palate is well-balanced with pure red cherry, wild strawberry, and finely-knit tannins. It’s one of the more elegant Cortons tasted with a touch of piquancy on the finish. Delightful. Drink after 8-10 years if you can resist temptation.”

"The 2022 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru offers red berry fruit on the nose, which feels slightly more rustic than the Mazis-Chambertin. It just needs to bind together during its élevage. The medium-bodied palate has a sweet core of red fruit and just a subtle savory, with an almost ferrous element and decent weight on the finish. I probably err towards the Mazis this year, but it is a "solid" Clos-de-Bèze that will gain weight by the time of bottling.”

"The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is missing the same cohesion and presence as the Latricières at the moment, though it has an attractive rose bush/potpourri scent that emerges with time. The medium-bodied palate has a tad more angularity than the Latricières and fine mineralité, edgy and linear with a strict, tensile, lightly spiced finish. What you might term a "grower", aloof, but the sapidity draws you back. Excellent.”

"The 2022 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has slightly blacker fruit on the nose compared to the Echézeaux. It’s a little conservative, as Latricières often is, but delineated with well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with an elegant entry, refined with sutured and pliant tannins. A more delicate Latricières than expected with pleasing mineralité on the finish. This should gain weight during élevage and become a delicious, refined Grand Cru.”

"The 2022 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is tightly wound on the nose, demanding coaxing from the glass: cranberry, wild strawberry, forest floor and light estuarine scents. It gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a sucrose entry, slightly candied compared to the Echézeaux and spicier: a sprinkling of white pepper, clove and allspice towards the finish. I suspect that this will bide its time in bottle.”

"The 2022 Echézeaux En Orveau Grand Cru is quite "strict" on the nose, a little taciturn at first, offering more black than red fruit and undergrowth and light granitic aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and heightened acidity. There’s quite a lot of finesse here, though it needs a little more grip and matière on the finish. It’s a pretty wine, and I suspect it will gain more weight during the second winter in barrel.”

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has more presence than the Lavaux Saint-Jacques, yet there remains something introverted about this cuvée; it’s a bit stoic at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. It’s a little richer than the Lavaux, with more backbone, raspberry and wild strawberry laced with white pepper and clove, leading to a satisfying, cohesive finish."

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet, but I like a little more fruit expression. It feels a bit withdrawn following the impressive Nuits Saint-Georges. The medium-bodied palate has a candied opening, red cherries mixed with orange peel, the oak neatly integrated with a lot of sucrosity on the finish. More earlier drinking than other cuvées.”

"The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Damodes 1er Cru is aged in 50% new oak and completely de-stemmed. This is pleasingly floral on the nose, with wilted roses filtering through the raspberry and redcurrant fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a keen line of acidity. This is very elegant in style, with a composed and transparent finish. What a lovely Les Damodes from Faiveley.”

“Made with a grape that was almost extinct before being rescued by the Torres family, this deeply hued red wine has aromas of black and red cherry, with a hint of mint and touch of florality. Gorgeous acidity and polished tannins encase black-plum, cassis, cocoa butter and fennel-pollen flavors that wind down to a finish infused with a touch of juniper.”

“Aromas of pineapple, vanilla bean and honeysuckle set the stage for honeydew, peach, jasmine and dried thyme flavors. The brilliant finish offers a lingering coffee bean note.”

“This round red is woven with cherry, raspberry, mineral, eucalyptus and hay flavors. Balanced, with a good dose of well-integrated tannins that lend support on the lively finish.”

“Fresh and pure, evoking cherry, raspberry, rose, iron and woodsy aromas and flavors, this is complex and solidly built, with a touch of creaminess to its texture and a superlong, expressive finish. Combines finesse and intensity.”

“Elements of eucalyptus and juniper grace the cherry and raspberry fruit in this intense, complex red. Mineral and spice accents chime in as this builds to a long aftertaste. The texture is supple and there's plenty of energy on the resonant finish, where a chalky feel adds to the overall appeal.”

“This rich Barbaresco shows graceful power, with a fleshy texture embracing its cherry, strawberry, mint, iron, tobacco and spice aromas and flavors. The dense matrix of refined tannins is beautifully integrated, while vibrant acidity drives the persistent, savory finish.”

“Precise and detailed, this harmonious white has a creamy texture enhanced by aromas and flavors of vanilla, honey, peach and pine, ending with a lingering aftertaste.”

“Precise and detailed, this harmonious white has a creamy texture enhanced by aromas and flavors of vanilla, honey, peach and pine, ending with a lingering aftertaste.”

“A racy version, this red mixes black cherry and blackberry fruit with earth, iron and spice flavors. Rich, creamy even, yet with firm grip on the finish. Shows fine balance and length.”
