2022 Domaine Anne Gros Echézeaux Grand Cru "Les Loächausses" (Pre-Arrival) - 5 available ($349.99)

96-98 points Jasper Morris: "A lovely mid purple. Very perfumed and with density, I suspect with detail to follow as well. Succulent, and with amazing depth plus magical length. One or two darker fruit notes, stopping short of chocolate. But this is a profound and sensual Echezeaux from a domaine noted for its lighter style. Drink from 2030-2038." (01/2024)

91-93 points Vinous: "The 2022 Echézeaux Les Loachausses Grand Cru (not the easiest lieu-dit to pronounce but is actually a monopole of the Gros family) is the most taciturn on the nose amongst Anne Gros' cuvées. There is a touch of crushed stone that develops in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a lot of sucrosity on the entry. It has fine depth and is quite linear, and maybe it needs to muster a little more complexity and terroir expression on the finish. I'm sure it will. (NM)" (01/2024)

91-93 points Burghound: "Moderate wood influence can be found on the exuberantly spicy and smoky nose of mostly dark currant and violet scents. There is good energy to the delicious if not especially dense middleweight flavors that conclude in a firm finale that exudes focused power as well as a touch of warmth." (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Anne Gros Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru "Le Grand Maupertui" (Pre-Arrival) - 5 available ($399.99)

95-98 points Jasper Morris: "The vines were planted in 1904. A richer deeper ruby purple. A flamboyant pure fruit on the nose, sort of unexpected for Clos Vougeot. Excellent tension on the palate, all the structure that a Clos Vougeot needs but nothing in excess. Seamless, sensual, yet with all the strictness it should have. Very fine. Drink from 2032-2040." (01/2024)

95-97 points Vinous: "The 2002 Clos de Vougeot le Grand Maupertui Grand Cru, which comes from vines born in 1904, is endowed with darker fruit than the Grands-Echézeaux. Well-defined, maybe a little opulent in style, yet still controlled. The palate is well-endowed with dark berry fruit, more black than red, pain d'épice and white pepper. Theres plenty of substance and grip towards the finish. But it is always elegant and deserves 10-12 years in bottle. Excellent.(NM)" (01/2024)

92-95 points Burghound: "Note: from a .93 ha parcel originally planted in 1904. This is also quite spicy and even more aromatically restrained with its fresh nose of earthy red pinot fruit. The denser and even more powerful larger-bodied flavors deliver excellent length on the impressively long and very much built-to-age if decidedly austere finale that flirts with rusticity. This is a classic CV and one that should age accordingly." (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils Le Corton Grand Cru (Pre-Arrival) ($149.99)

96 points James Suckling: "This has the tannic power we expect from this appellation, but in a plush and restrained form. That core is wrapped in a velvet blanket, but the dominant aromas are dark and earthy, with touches of licorice or pine bark. Very long, compact and earthy finish that promises a very long life. From a 3.55 hectare parcel on shallow red-clay soil that's almost next to the forest at the top of hill and faces east. Drink or hold." (06/2024)

96 points Decanter: "The 2022 Bouchard Corton boasts concentrated mulberry and black plum fruit aromas, hints of violets and liquorice, and sweet oak spice. The texture is velvety and dense, with supple tannins and a pleasantly persistent finish underscored by a saline mineral note. Despite the location of the vines near the top of the slope, the grapes were picked early; 40% of the crop was fermented as whole clusters. This wine should open up in five to seven years and drink for another 25 beyond that. (CC)" (01/2024)

96 points Wine Spectator: "Plush and packed with cherry, raspberry, boysenberry, earth and spice flavors, this red is athletic and focused. Mineral and woodsy underbrush elements add complexity as this builds to the long, lingering aftertaste, which reverberates with fruit, mineral and savory notes. Best from 2029 through 2047." (07/2025)

92-95 points Jasper Morris: "Mid to deep crimson. Cooked strawberries on the nose. Not really cooked, crushed and peppery really. 50% whole bunches can be seen as well as the limestone aspect of the top of the hill. Almost floral, aiming at a more elegant style rather than a massive one, given the situation. But a very long finish. I was also shown an amphora version of the Corton which had a mid-crimson colour, with a dark raspberry and crushed strawberry nose. Like the Clos de la Mousse, the amphora version comes across as a bit gravelly, the tannins a little more pronounced. Scored for the main version. Drink from 2030-2038." (10/2023)

93-95 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Le Corton Grand Cru is another highlight of the range, mingling aromas of sweet cherries, berries and plums in a complex bouquet, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered palate that's dense and structured but beautifully refined, concluding with a long, penetrating finish.The 2022 vintage is another tour de force for Bouchard, as the accompanying tasting notes reflect. Technical director Frédéric Weber reported little in the way of hydric stress, with rapid ripening at the end of the season that saw some parcels accumulate 1.5% potential alcohol in as little as three days. Fortunately, the team hadn't performed any deleafing and were able to apply protective kaolin clay as sunblock for the leaves and fruit to ride out the heat wave. Harvest began on August 26, with anything picked after 11 a.m. left overnight in a cold room for processing the following day, and the harvesters stopping work at 2 p.m. (WK)" (01/2024)

94 points Tim Atkin: "This large, 3.20-hectares parcel sits in one block at the top of the hill. There's no better view of the Saône river plain. Cranberries, rose petals, new leather and crushed chalk sing on the nose. The core is juicy but also finely structured by soft, gliding tannins and bustling acidity. This will be pretty early on but has everything it needs to age for the next decade or more." (01/2024)

92-94 points Vinous: "The 2022 Le Corton Grand Cru comes from vines at higher altitude. It has a well-defined and precise bouquet, the altitude imparting more freshness than some of the other red cuvées this year. The medium-bodied palate has supple tannins and a mixture of red and black fruit, white pepper and clove, leading to a refined and persistent finish. Excellent. (NM)" (01/2024)

91-94 points Burghound: "Note: from a massive 7 ha holding that is divided roughly 50/50 between pinot and chardonnay; the 7 ha represents 60% of the total surface area. The natural coolness of the vineyard is in evidence because while the nose is ripe, it's cool and also brooding with its overtly floral aromas of black raspberry, the sauvage and newly turned earth. There is excellent underlying tension to the rich, powerful and muscular flavors that also exude a bead of minerality on the youthfully austere, tightly wound and persistent bitter pit fruit-inflected finale. A Corton of (relative) elegance." (04/2024)

2022 Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune-Grèves 1er Cru "Vigne de L'Enfant Jésus" (Pre-Arrival) - 6 available ($169.99)

96 points Decanter: "The 2022 Baby Jesus is a wine of gorgeous intensity, with alluringly ripe aromas of blackberry and plum with notes of peony and spice. The forward fruits continue on the palate as intensely sweet and silky, with a density and grip that are only apparent with time. The grapes are from nearly four hectares of vines, although only the oldest vines and most concentrated fruit are used for this bottling, with some declassified into Beaune du Château. This wine will open in five to seven years and should easily drink for 30 more after the harvest. (CC)" (01/2024)

96 points James Suckling: "Often consumers expect a great Burgundy to be a dramatic and showy wine. This is an ideal example of how Burgundian greatness often expresses itself more gently. The harmony of red-fruit character with superfine tannins, plus excellent concentration and really silky tannins on the medium-bodied palate marks this out as a truly exceptional wine for the appellation. Delicious though it is now, try to give it some time in the glass to reveal its delicately spicy mystery. From a 3.9 hectare parcel in the middle of the slope of the 1er Cru Greves, where there's never any hydric stress. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." (06/2024)

93-95 points Jasper Morris: "More crimson than purple, with notably more presence than the other Beaunes. A range of fruits finishing with some black cherry after the dark red berries, a heightened intensity of fruit, with an excellent balance between tannin and acidity, and notable length. Not racked but has retained purity. Drink from 2030-2038." (01/2024)

92-94 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus is lovely, wafting from the glass with aromas of blackberries, spices, violets and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with a fleshy attack that segues into a refined, mineral palate and a saline finish, it's a benchmark for the appellation.The 2022 vintage is another tour de force for Bouchard, as the accompanying tasting notes reflect. Technical director Frédéric Weber reported little in the way of hydric stress, with rapid ripening at the end of the season that saw some parcels accumulate 1.5% potential alcohol in as little as three days. Fortunately, the team hadn't performed any deleafing and were able to apply protective kaolin clay as sunblock for the leaves and fruit to ride out the heat wave. Harvest began on August 26, with anything picked after 11 a.m. left overnight in a cold room for processing the following day, and the harvesters stopping work at 2 p.m.(WK)" (01/2024)

91-94 points Burghound: "Note: from a huge 4-ha parcel. A slightly riper but brooding nose only grudgingly reveals it aromas of dark berries, earth and a whiff of leather. The noticeably denser medium-bodied flavors are at once caressing but powerful with both mouthcoating sap and tannins on the robust, serious and built-to-age finish. This excellent effort also always needs time in bottle and 2022 will again be no different.*Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*" (04/2024)

94 points Wine Spectator: "A spicy red, this boasts sandalwood, white pepper and vegetable aromas matched to strawberry and cherry fruit. Linear and compact, with dusty tannins that leave a solid grip on the mineral finish now. Shows fine balance and length. Best from 2028 through 2045." (07/2025)

91-93 points Vinous: "The 2022 Beaune Les Grèves Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus 1er Cru has a clean and fresh nose of maraschino cherries, candied orange peel and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and gentle grip, slightly powdery in texture. The attractive, mocha-tinged finish lingers in the mouth. This will drink very well after 5-7 years. (NM)" (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Comte de Vogüé Musigny Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes (Pre-Arrival) - -2 available ($1,139.99)

95-100 points Jasper Morris: "As mentioned in the introduction, there are seven separate parcellaire cuvées of Musigny which will be blended. We tried four of them, representing different sectors. Les Petits Musigny (north): An even purple, succulent red fruit. Fresh raspberry and strawberry, touch of liquorice, very even, fair acidity, soft tannins. Les 13 ouvrees: Stonier than north Musigny. A touch darker in colour and definitely a richer bouquet, more headily floral. More clearly the weight of Musigny, but also shows as quite a bit riper. Grand Musigny Haut: A glowing mid purple. A lovely tensile strength, not so evidently ripe, but correctly so, red to dark red in fruit. Good acidity, and fairly complete. Grand Musigny Bas: Glowing purple perhaps fractionally deeper than the upper part. The nose is less extrovert but clearly has superb class and a poised density. The sense of completeness of GM Haut but noticeably more intense through the mid palate. The fruit is a fraction riper, perfectly so, with a few suggestions of dark raspberry in the fruit. Very persistent indeed and a freshness to the finish, enough to make a major wine. I dont feel it correct to award five stars until I have seen the full blended wine, preferably in bottle, but I certainly dont rule that out." (01/2024)

99 points James Suckling: "A great Burgundian legend is back in very top form. Enveloping nose of red fruit, red roses and wildflowers. Anything but dramatic, this stuns you with its incredible finesse and extraordinary textural complexity. On the upper edge of medium-bodied, also thanks to the fabulously fine tannins that interlock perfectly with the intense minerality to drive the super-long finish." (07/2024)

98 points Decanter: "A tasting of each of the seven 2022 Musigny VV sub-sections and an approximate blend hint at a wine of almost voluptuous sensuality, with expressive mulberry and pomegranate fruit and hints of earth, smoke and liquorice that waft from the glass. The texture is powerfully tannic and dense but almost infinitely silky, and there is a dynamic interplay between the perfumed fruit and robust structure. Ideally, wait a decade before opening.(CC)" (01/2024)

94-97 points Burghound: "Note: from an incredible 6.46 ha parcel, which doesn't include the .67 ha section planted to chardonnay. This is aromatically quite similar to the 1er except that it is notably more restrained and requires considerable swirling to coax the nose to reveal its nuances. On the palate though there is noticeably more size, weight and mid-palate density thanks to the abundant sap that imparts a highly seductive mouthfeel while also buffering the firmer, though just as fine, tannic structure shaping the hugely long, youthfully austere and decidedly powerful finish that is akin to rolling tiny rocks around the mouth. This is also positively brilliant with the development potential to match.*Don't Miss!*" (01/2024)

94-96 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is very attractive, bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, blood orange, rose petals and vine smoke. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's layered and fleshy, with a deep and seamless core of fruit that conceals powdery structuring tannins, concluding with a broad, perfumed finish. If this fulfills all its promise in bottle, it may make my score look conservative.(WK)" (01/2024)

95 points Tim Atkin: "This was a complicated tasting involving sampling each of the different sectors (that part rather fascinating!) then trying to see the final wine. The "real idea of Musigny", as Jean Lupatelli called it, is laden with sweet and savory barbecue spices, drying flower petals and peak-of-ripeness blueberries. The acidity is strikingly present and high-pitched while the tannins are smooth and satiny. I look forward to tasting this after it is bottled." (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Comte de Vogüé Musigny Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 3-pack in OWC (Pre-Arrival) - -13 available ($3,419.97)

2022 Domaine Coquard-Loison-Fleurot Echézeaux Grand Cru (Pre-Arrival) - 11 available ($299.99)

95-97 points Jasper Morris: "Just as deep a purple colour but more elegance on the nose, less obviously and immediately sumptuous. Wavelets of alpine strawberry and its raspberry equivalent dance across the palate, super fine, with startling elegance. Another 2022 beauty from Thomas. Drink from 2030-2038." (01/2024)

92-94 points Vinous: "Raised with 20% whole bunches, the 2022 Echézeaux Grand Cru showed a little reduction on the nose, but there seems to be plenty of concentration here. The medium-bodied palate offers ripe black fruit laced with orange rind and veins of dark chocolate, probably emanating from the 50% new oak. It's a solid Echézeaux that might lack a bit of flair, though it will mature well in bottle. (NM)" (01/2024)

92-94 points Burghound: "Note: from a large 1.33 ha holding in Les Treux, En Orveau and Les Poulaillères. Classic deep ruby color. The exuberantly spicy and ultra-nose displays the essence of red cherry and cool floral scents. There is both fine volume and punch to the beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that offer fine length on the youthfully austere finish that is supported by fine-grained tannins. This could use better depth but that should just be a matter of appropriate cellaring." (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Coquard Loison Fleurot Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru (Pre-Arrival) - 8 available ($299.99)

94-97 points Jasper Morris: "The fine deep colour goes without saying. Immediate raspberry and strawberry fruit thrusts itself to the front. Fresh dark berries, less explosive than Clos Vougeot, all tightly wound with an impressive intensity. This is going to be a beautiful bottle in due course, with a lovely, fine, summer pudding aftertaste. Drink from 2030-2038." (01/2024)

93-95 points Vinous: "The 2022 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a more generous and expressive bouquet than the Clos de Vougeot: black cherries and wild strawberries, just a bit of reduction to wade through at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid, quite structured entry. Grippy in the mouth, a solid Mazoyères-like Charmes with a dash of peppercorns on the finish. Solid and a bit unyielding at the moment; this is one to cellar for several years before broaching. (NM)" (11/2023)

91-94 points Burghound: "Note: from a .35 ha holding near the bottom of Mazoyères. This is also aromatically quite pretty and fresh with its lightly spiced combination of red berries, floral and earth-scented nose. Here too there is a relatively sleek and refined mouthfeel to the slightly more concentrated and more mineral-inflected flavors that possess good detail on the youthfully austere, firm and nicely balanced finale that possesses evident power." (01/2024)

Jancis Robinson: "Mid crimson. A little more subdued than the village wines but deeper and richer on the palate. Glorious fruit and smooth, polished tannins. Depth, harmony, freshness and promise. 17.5/20 points (JH)" (01/2024)

2022 Domaine de l'Arlot Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru "Clos des Forêts-St-Georges" (Pre-Arrival) - -14 available ($169.99)

97 points James Suckling: "The very complex, dark and spicy nose leads into a very concentrated and compact palate with a wonderful velvety texture plus terrific tension. Red Burgundy rarely has this intensity of stony minerality (although it is often suggested that this is common). And this is only just beginning to reveal all its treasures. From a seven-hecatre monopole site. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold." (07/2024)

94-96 points Vinous: "The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Forêts Saint Georges 1er Cru was also raised in 40% new oak. [Incidentally, 0.6ha will be planted with Chardonnay in 2024]. Slightly deeper in color compared to the Clos de l'Arlot, this has slightly more cohesion and complexity on the nose: dark cherries and crushed stone, a hint of wilted rose petals in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with beautifully integrated new oak, lending this a velvety veneer. It is a little plush yet with equivalent tension and a detailed, slightly piquant finish. This is an outstanding Nuits Saint-Georges from the Domaine. (NM)" (01/2024)

94 points Tim Atkin: "The scintillating fruit purity shines on the nose. Godot said it came naturally as the fruit was in terrific condition. Dried cranberries, lavender, dried flowers and a light earthiness wash across the palate. Lightly chalky tannins buffer the medium body before the zingy acidity pulls the flavors into a solid finish. This will easily age well for a decade or more." (01/2024)

92-93 points Jasper Morris: "A fuller purple than either Arlot cuvée, which is as normal. The bouquet holds the promise of clean fruit at optimum ripeness, but does not deliver detail at this point. Plenty of energy here, some slightly firmer tannins, correct acidity, and then the more perfumed red berry fruit, slightly more raspberry here, returns at the back. Drink from 2030-2037." (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Lavaux St-Jacques" (Pre-Arrival) - 4 available ($159.99)

96-97 points James Suckling: "A breathtaking Gevrey 1er Cru with great black cherry fruit and earthy complexity wrapped around a dense and precise core of fine tannins that power the extremely long finish." (06/2023)

92-94 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques is another notable success this year, wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, peonies, orange zest and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and perfumed, its satiny attack segueing into a sweet core of fruit, it concludes with a long, saline finish.Jérôme Flous and his team have produced another compelling range of 2022s, and it's hardly surprising, given the high level of vineyard management chez Faiveley or the skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar. As is often the case up and down the Côte d'Or, the style is more delicate and sensual than was the case in 2020, and the wines seem set to offer broad drinking windows. (WK)" (01/2024)

91-93 points Burghound: "Moderate wood again frames the fresh and unusually expressive nose of forest floor, the sauvage and various wild red berries. There is impressive concentration to the powerful and tautly muscular medium-bodied flavors that display excellent length on the very firm finale where the only reproach is a touch of warmth. This is already attractively complex and a wine that should age gracefully over the next 12 to 15 years. *Burghound Outstanding!*" (01/2024)

90-92 points Jasper Morris: "Mid crimson, a lighter fruit and perhaps a bit sweaty. Then some fresh and some crushed strawberry, peppery too. Firmly oaked, with intensity but a bit muddled at the moment. Lavaux did bear the brunt of the famous June storm, and this could be reflected here. Drink from 2028-2034." (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Faiveley Corton Grand Cru "Clos des Cortons Faiveley" (Pre-Arrival) - 7 available ($269.99)

97 points James Suckling: "Beautiful nose of fresh Damson plums with a slew of delicate, spicy nuances. For anyone who thinks that great Burgundy must be delicate and silky, here is the firm and deeply structured answer to that one-sided viewpoint. Enormously stony wild herb character powers the extremely long, simultaneously firm and expressive finish. From organically grown grapes from a 2.88-hectare plot. Matured in 50% new oak and 50% once-used oak. Drinkable now, but best from 2027." (07/2024)

97 points Wine Spectator: "Marked by toasty new oak, vanilla and resin notes, this red also reveals a core of cherry, raspberry, earth and mineral flavors. Broad and powerful, backed by bright acidity and fine-grained, chalky tannins. Though long, this needs time to integrate all the elements. Best from 2029 through 2048." (10/2024)

94-96 points Vinous: "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. Its one of the more elegant Cortons tasted with a touch of piquancy on the finish. Delightful. (NM)" (01/2024)

94-96 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is also a real success, unfurling in the glass with rich aromas of cherries, berries, peonies, licorice and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated palate that's cool and stony, with a tightly wound core framed by sweet but chalky tannins. This will be long lived. (WK)" (01/2024)

94-96 points Jasper Morris: "A brilliant intense purple. Immediately on the nose there is a nobility over and above anything else in the cellar. The fruit swells across the palate without losing its sense of identity. There is an equilibrium from perfect structure backing this intensity of fruit. Harmonious structure, well integrated oak and impressive length. *5-Star Wine*" (01/2024)

93-95 points Burghound: "A pungent nose of wood toast and reduction dominate the nose. More interesting are the fresh and vibrant broad-shouldered flavors that possess both excellent volume and delineation while delivering impressively length on the powerful, youthfully austere, firm and very serious finale where a hint of warmth gradually makes itself known. This is excellent and like all good examples of Corton, very much built-to-age. *Sweet Spot*" (01/2024)

95 points Decanter: "The 2022 Faiveley Corton is surprisingly fresh and lively for a warm year, with a forward red and black fruit character and a pronounced floral edge with hints of violets and roses. The texture is supple but reasonably dense, and the fresh acidity supports the wine through a long finish. The grapes from Faiveley's 2.77-hectare monopole were partially destemmed and gently fermented before ageing in cask (half new). This wine should open in five to seven years and drink well over the next three decades. (CC)" (01/2024)

95 points Tim Atkin: "Deep in color, this shows smashed strawberries, sliced red plums, rose buds and a hint of vanilla. The palate is sensuously smooth with bewitching flavor density. Dried red berries come through on the cheekily fresh and lingering finish. Already very complete, this was my personal favorite of the Faiveley reds." (02/2024)

Jancis Robinson: "Very rich nose. So sweet and juicy one could almost drink this tonight! Though Im sure it will develop far more complexity in the future. It tightens up on the end and it would clearly be a shame to drink it too young. 17++/20 points (JR)" (11/2023)

2022 Domaine Faiveley Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru (Pre-Arrival) - -1 available ($349.99)

99 points James Suckling: "The enormously deep and dark nose of wet earth and spicy complexity barely prepares you for the combination of gigantic concentration, precision and originality on the stunningly graceful palate, which is only medium-bodied. The finish just keeps echoing down the valleys of your mind thanks to the extraordinarily fine tannins. From three plots in this legendary site totaling 1.4 hectares. From organically grown grapes. Matured in 50% new oak and 50% once-used oak. Drink or hold." (07/2024)

94-96 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is deep and brooding, unwinding in the glass with aromas of minty cherries and dark berries mingled with spiced plums, orange zest and peony. Full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit framed by supple tannins and animated by bright acids, it concludes with a pure, saline finish.Jérôme Flous and his team have produced another compelling range of 2022s, and it's hardly surprising, given the high level of vineyard management chez Faiveley or the skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar. As is often the case up and down the Côte d'Or, the style is more delicate and sensual than was the case in 2020, and the wines seem set to offer broad drinking windows. (WK)" (01/2024)

94-96 points Vinous: "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. (NM)" (01/2024)

93-96 points Jasper Morris: "Mid crimson with some depth. Dark raspberry, a little soupy at the moment but with good depth behind. The fruit covers the structure, as the tannins are fairly firm. The raspberries freshen up, gain in precision compared to the first mouthful. Not perhaps showing at its best on the day there may well be more too this. Drink from 2030-2038." (01/2024)

95 points Wine Spectator: "Laced with alluring notes of cherry, blackberry, pomegranate and spicy oak, this red is supple and dense. Lively acidity helps keep this balanced while corralling the flavors on the extended, iron-tinged finish. Shows superb harmony, texture and length. Best from 2028 through 2047." (08/2024)

95 points Tim Atkin: "Grilled plums, black cherry cordial, North African spices and a whiff of reduction provide a dramatic introduction. Everything on the palate emphasizes freshness between the pronounced acidity, crunchy tannins and bouncy, mid-weight body. This super-charged wine deserves time to unfurl in the bottle. There are 1.6 hectares here with a wide range of ages, but Erwan Faiveley said that some of the oldest vines have been pulled out." (02/2024)

93-95 points Burghound: "Toasty reduction knocks down the nose but there is fine freshness and richness to the suave and seductively textured bigger-bodied flavors that are generously proportioned while displaying both good tension and complexity on the impressively persistent and more powerful, if less refined, finish where a hint of wood appears. This isn't quite as mineral-driven but save for a subtle touch of warmth, it's beautifully balanced and should amply repay extended cellaring." (01/2024)

95 points Decanter: "Faiveley has 1.56 hectares spread over several parcels in Mazis mostly in Mazis-Haut but a small parcel in Mazis-Bas. This Mazis is a substantial wine but without quite the structure and depth of the Latricières. The forward cherry fruit with an earthy component is charming; technical director Jérôme Flous describes the earthiness as 'iron-rich, almost bloody'; the wine echos memorably on the finish. This wine will drink well after three to five years of cellaring and should continue improving for at least another 20 years after that. (CC)" (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Faiveley Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru (Pre-Arrival) - 0 available ($359.99)

94-97 points Jasper Morris: "A fine mid crimson. The fruit has a little more body on the nose than the Echezeaux, as should be the case. This has some nuances, and the fruit is a little drier, but this one has the depth which was not always present in some of the others. This is heading in the right direction. Drink from 2030-2038." (01/2024)

96-97 points James Suckling: "Quite a shy nose, but on the palate this is so dense without the slightest hint of heaviness. All red fruits with an almost lemony freshness at the long, intensely mineral finish. Great potential!" (06/2023)

95-97 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is once again one of the high points of the range chez Faiveley, wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, rose petals, Indian spices, blood orange and coniferous forest floor, followed by a full-bodied, ample and layered palate that's cool, concentrated, vibrant and perfumed, concluding with a long, saline finish.Jérôme Flous and his team have produced another compelling range of 2022s, and it's hardly surprising, given the high level of vineyard management chez Faiveley or the skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar. As is often the case up and down the Côte d'Or, the style is more delicate and sensual than was the case in 2020, and the wines seem set to offer broad drinking windows. (WK)" (01/2024)

93-96 points Burghound: " There is enough wood influence to merit pointing out on the airy, cool and layered nose of both red and dark currant, the sauvage and plenty of forest floor character. The super-sleek, intense and markedly mineral-driven flavors possess an almost delicate mid-palate mouthfeel that contrasts substantially with the powerful, driving and wonderfully long, if decidedly firm, finale. This is not only excellent but it's textbook. *Burghound Don't Miss!*" (01/2024)

96 points Decanter: "This superb example of one of Faiveley's top wines from Gevrey seduces with expressive mulberry and pomegranate fruit, hints of rose petals and suggestions of star anise, smoke and earth. This wine is more firmly tannic and substantial than the Charmes-Chambertin, with a saline minerality and penetrating length that should open up three to five years after release and drink for another 20 after that. As Erwan noted, the style is 'caught between Clos de la Roche and Chambertin'; the domaine owns nearly 1.3 hectares that are being replanted slowly. (CC)" (01/2024)

95 points Tim Atkin: "Starting with earthy and smoky overtones, this goes on to unleash exuberantly perky blackberries and blueberries. Despite the spherical and supple mid-palate, the tannins are a bit austere for the moment with their lightly drying, sand paper sensation. But, this is old vine fruit from 50- and 80-year-old plants, and the lingering finish suggests that more harmonious integration will come in time. Still, this is no doubt a lovely Latricières." (02/2024)

93-95 points Vinous: "The 2022 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has slightly blacker fruit on the nose compared to the Echézeaux. Its 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. (NM)" (01/2024)

95 points Wine Spectator: "Dark and slightly brooding, this red features black cherry, blackberry, iron, sandalwood, vanilla and smoke aromas and flavors. Firmly structured, with refined tannins and vibrant acidity paving the way for the intense finish. Shows fine poise and energy yet will require a few years in bottle to really show all its details. Best from 2028 through 2047." (08/2024)

2022 Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru "Les Murgers" (Pre-Arrival) - -7 available ($239.99)

94-97 points Jasper Morris: "A pleasing ruby colour. The bouquet shows the perfect match of Vosne hedonistic fruit with the extra weight of Nuits-St-Georges. Fruit floods the palate, dark raspberry, a light acidity, tannins submerged beneath the fruit, a light touch of oak, and remarkably persistent. Very fine indeed. Enjoy it because two thirds of the plot on 161/49 rootstock was taken out after the 2022 harvest. Drink from 2032-2040." (01/2024)

91-93 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers unfurls in the glass with aromas of plums, peonies, spices and smoked duck. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with an almost unctuous core of fruit, melting tannins and lovely purity of fruit, it's a real success.Charles Van Canneyt has produced a beautiful range of 2022sbut that won't surprise readers familiar with this estate's consistent excellence. Van Canneyt has had the reins here for over a decade now, and his approach has crystalized: the predominantly destemmed fruit, retained intact, is fermented in cement tanks for a classical maceration of two to three weeks. Élevage is in barrels now predominantly sourced from Cavin, with Cadus in a supporting role, and lasts fully 18 months, with the exception of the Bourgogne Rouge, which is bottled before harvest. These uncomplicated methods, combined with an enviable palette of appellations planted with notably old vines, produce elegant, charming wines with impressive substance and aging potential. I've been buying them for my own cellar since my student days, so this is an address I warmly recommend. (WK)" (01/2024)

91-93 points Vinous: "The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Murgers 1er Cru, a vineyard of which two-thirds is being re-planted, has a fruit-driven bouquet: blackberry and raspberry, touches of crushed rock and hedgerow. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. Its a structured Les Murgers, though not heavy, with white pepper and clove lining the persistent, graceful finish. Very elegant.(NM)" (01/2024)

91-93 points Burghound: "Note: from a .68 ha holding. A more deeply pitched nose freely offers up its aromas of plum, earth and a whiff of the sauvage. The delicious and vibrant, if not especially dense, medium weight flavors possess good punch and focused power on the mildly austere, compact and built-to-age finale. This should age gracefully over a 12 to 15 year window and hold for another decade thereafter. *Burghound Outstanding!*" (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (Pre-Arrival) - 0 available ($499.99)

97 points Decanter: "This wine is superbly silky and seamless, long but not heavy, and distinguished by a marvellously forward blackberry and pomegranate fruit aroma touched with earth and spice. This immense Clos de Vougeot shows power without astringency. The grapes are from the domaine's 0.70 hectares near the château in the spots known as Chioures and La Garenne. The carefully sorted grapes are mostly destemmed and fermented on native yeasts; the wines are currently ageing in cask (half new) and will be bottled after two winters without fining or filtration. (CC)" (01/2024)

94-96 points Jasper Morris: "A vivid mid purple. The bouquet suggests some concentration but a youthful hiding of the detail. On the palate, this is clearly extremely well-constructed and the deep red fruit fills the mouth. Tannins are fine boned, and there is enough acidity. Let this age quietly for a decade and a fine Clos V will emerge. Drink from 2032-2040." (01/2024)

93-95 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a deep, broad-shouldered wine, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, incense and spices complemented by hints of potpourri and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's lively and youthfully taut, with everything required to reward a bit of patience.Charles Van Canneyt has produced a beautiful range of 2022sbut that won't surprise readers familiar with this estate's consistent excellence.

95 points Tim Atkin: "Fabulously fresh in aromas and structure, this smells of crunchy blackberries and black currants mixed with damp bark and brown spices. The dense wine sweeps across the palate with real swagger. The tannins have a lightly gravelly texture, and the acidity makes the palate quiver with freshness. This is a 0.69-hectare holding near the château." (01/2024)

93-95 points Vinous: "The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a tightly wound, mineral-driven bouquet that needs time to gradually unfurl. Black rather than red fruit here. The medium-bodied palate has sappy red fruit, fine depth and good grip. A more sinewy Clos Vougeot that should stand it in good stead for long-term aging. Excellent. (NM)" (01/2024)

92-95 points Burghound: "Note: from two separate parcels, one to the left of the Château in Garenne and another situated below it in Les Chioure. A beautifully layered and fresh nose offers up notes of essence of plum, rose petal, anise and hints of wood toast, forest floor and the sauvage. Once again there is a lovely and caressing mouthfeel to the medium weight and tautly muscular flavors that possess good delineation and a touch of minerality that adds a touch of lift to the firm, serious and sneaky long finish where a bit of youthful austerity eventually emerges.*Burghound Sweet Spot!*" (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru (Pre-Arrival) - 0 available ($1,699.99)

95-98 points Jasper Morris: "A fine mid ruby purple, then the nose says hold on, this is special. The quintessence of Vosne-Romanée finesse. An intense raspberry seedless intensity straight away on the attack, broadening slightly behind, medium acidity, submerged tannins and a fine very long finish. Drink from 2035-2045." (01/2024)

97 points Decanter: "Lavish aromas of blackberry and plum fruit with an edge of earthy complexity make the initial attack compelling. The texture is firm and elegant, with grippy tannins but no astringency and enough extract and freshness to ensure an interminable finish. The grapes are from a half-hectare of century-old vines that run the length of the vineyard just north of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti vines. They are partially destemmed and gently fermented before ageing in cask (half new). Ideally, one would wait a decade before opening this wine, but there is enough substance here to age 50 years beyond that. (CC)" (01/2024)

93-96 points Burghound: "Note: from a .48 ha parcel of vines. A highly restrained and decidedly cool nose requires aggressive swirling to coax the wonderfully spicy red pinot fruit, floral and exotic tea scents from the glass. On the palate the super-refined, energetic and well-detailed middleweight flavors possess a lilting, pure and highly refined mouthfeel thanks primarily to the beautifully fine-grained tannins supporting the striking long, balanced and lightly austere finale. This is very classy juice.*Burghound Don't Miss!*" (01/2024)

94-96 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with scents of cherries, wild berries, rose petals and exotic spices.

96 points Tim Atkin: "Sizzling with lusty red fruits, sweet spices, red licorice and intense florals zoom from the glass. Elegant tannins saturate the sensuously-textured palate, creating a light drying sensation before the wispy, high-toned acidity cleans up the ample extract. The extended finish integrates some patchouli and fireplace smoke." (01/2024)

94 points Vinous: "The 2022 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is vivacious and well-defined on the nose. A mixture of red and black fruit swirls with crushed violet, and blueberry aromas emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with those graphite elements that tincture that black fruit, fleshy and rounded. A crescendo towards the finish delivers the sapidity that entices you back for more. This oozes class, even if I don't think it is the ultimate wine Van Canneyt has overseen. Tasted at the Stannary Wines dinner in London with Charles van Canneyt. (NM)" (03/2024)

2022 Domaine Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (Pre-Arrival) - 2 available ($249.99)

95-98 points Jasper Morris: "Glowing fresh crimson colour. The nose shows fresh fruit without detail as yet. I am impressed by the weight and energy of this very promising Clos Vougeot There is plenty up front, muscular, but enough behind too. A beautiful finish as pure class peeps throughout. Very happy with this! Drink from 2032-2040." (01/2024)

97 points James Suckling: "Beautiful black fruit, complex spices and a velvety texture give this a brooding, deep and concentrated expression. Packed with black cherry, blueberry, spearmint, bay leaf and moss nuances, its complex, full-bodied and superbly balanced. So concentrated, yet structured and age-worthy. Fuller and riper than usual in this vintage, its still a great candidate for long aging. Best after 2030." (06/2024)

95 points Tim Atkin: "These two hectares of vines sit close to Château Latour, near the center of Clos Vougeot. This is impressively pure and thoroughly sophisticated. The nose mixes tobacco leaves, fresh mushroom, red currants and poached cranberries. Dusty tannins surround the muscular core. The smooth and long finish offers tantalizing refreshment." (02/2024)

92-94 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is rich and structured, delivering aromas of cherries, plums, wild berries, smoke and spices, followed by a full-bodied, deep and layered palate that's framed by youthfully chewy tannins.Winemaker Frédéric Barnier and his team have produced another strong portfolio chez Jadot, with a relatively abundant crop of charming, pure and demonstrative wines, with alcohol back in more normal territory after the highs of 2018, 2019 and 2020. As I've written before, in the cellar, foudres and 500-liter barrels now complement classic 228-liter pièces, a further evolution adapting to warmer, riper vintages. A cold room also helps chill down any fruit that's too warm when it enters the winery. 2022 is also the second vintage of organic conversion for the Domaine Louis Jadot and the Domaine Gagey. (WK)" (01/2024)

92-94 points Burghound: "Cool and attractively layered aromas include those of various red berries, spice and pungent earth nuances. The rich, punchy and delineated middleweight flavors are not particularly concentrated though they are solidly powerful on the dusty, firmly austere and very much built-to-age finale. Excellent quality here in a built-to-age package." (04/2024)

91-93 points Vinous: "The 2022 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, which comes from foudre, has a very pure and seductive bouquet with glossy red cherries and strawberry fruit mixed with incense and violets. The palate is medium-bodied with a little chewiness on the entry. Quite a sinewy Clos Vougeot with impressive weight on the mid-palate, if missing a little precision on the finish. Sure, it will improve during the remainder of its élevage, but give it 4-5 years in bottle. (NM)" (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Clos St-Jacques" (Pre-Arrival) - 2 available ($249.99)

95-97 points Vinous: "The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru absolutely delivers on the nose from the very first sniff: complex mineral-driven red berry fruit, exquisitely defined, takes it up another level from the Lavaux Saint-Jacques. The palate is beautifully balanced with finely chiseled tannins. Poised yet powerful, it fans effortlessly toward the immensely detailed and beguiling finish. Jadot has stepped up a gear in terms of its Clos Saint-Jacques in recent vintages (for example, the 2019), and this will give the likes of Rousseau and Clair a run for their money. (NM)" (01/2024)

96 points Decanter: "The 2022 vintage is a marvellous return to form for Jadot's Clos Saint-Jacques, typically among the touchstones of this house. The wine is dense and rich with ripe, concentrated, plummy fruit and an edge of dark chocolate. The sensation is ripe but not overly so; the wine is tannic but supple; there is neither astringency nor overconcentration here. The grapes from Jadot's hectare of vines at the centre of the Clos are destemmed and gently extracted before ageing in cask (one-third new). The result is a delicious example of this regal premier cru. (CC)" (01/2024)

93-96 points Jasper Morris: "Medium deep purple, not yet displaying much bouquet but that is a question of reticence, not absence. There is plenty of energy behind, still savoury touch but one can see a significant weight of red berry fruit waiting in the wings. A sleeper perhaps. Drink from 2032-2038." (01/2024)

92-95 points Burghound: "A very pretty, even lightly perfumed, nose freely reveals its combination of various red berries, spice, floral top notes and a subtle whiff of just turned earth. The succulent, delicious and round middleweight plus flavors flash the hallmark minerality on the impressively long and firm finish that evidence focused power. The ESJ and the LSJ are both excellent but there is just another dimension present here, not to mention a certain class. *Burghound Outstanding!*" (04/2024)

95 points Tim Atkin: "An aromatic dynamo, this starts with cranberries, red currants, fireplace smoke and crushed stones. The red fruits give this lift and vivacity while the minerally notes give it some sultriness. Excellent tanginess contains the turbo-charged concentration. As usual, this is effectively a mini-Grand Cru." (02/2024)

95 points Wine Spectator: "There's ample richness to this red, wrapped around flavors of cherry, raspberry, sandalwood, stone and sweet spices. Intense and bursting with energy, this tightens up by the finish, where the flavors stretch out. The harmony and intensity is there; this just needs time to relax. Best from 2029 through 2046.B.S." (03/2025)

2022 Domaine Louis Jadot Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Pre-Arrival) - 0 available ($349.99)

96-98 points Jasper Morris: "Medium deep purple. The bouquet offers great promise, not flamboyant, a savoury red fruit but with depth behind. Nothing on the nose to say this is a stunning wine but just wait till you put it into your mouth! Such an explosion of rich ripe red fruited pinot, with a plush velvet texture which covers the tannins which are surely there for the long term future. Drink from 2032-2040." (01/2024)

94-96 points Vinous: "The 2022 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a well-defined and focused bouquet with attractive brambly red fruit, briar, forest floor, and a touch of rose petal. Very elegant and refined. The medium-bodied palate has supple tannins, fleshy and poised, with a touch of allspice towards the satin-textured finish that fans out beautifully. This is a wonderful Chapelle-Chambertin that should not be ignored. (NM)" (01/2024)

93-95 points Burghound: "Note: from En Gémeaux; these are the oldest vines in the Jadot portfolio of owned vineyards. Moderately generous wood and menthol influences can be found on the more floral-suffused aromas of violet, lilac and rose petal along with ripe red cherry liqueur and kirsch scents. There is outstanding density and underlying tension to the rich and enveloping larger-bodied flavors that exude a more subtle minerality on the compact, serious and youthfully austere finale. This is quite firm and at least 15 years of keeping will be necessary if you wish to see this beauty at full maturity." (04/2024)

93-95 points Wine Advocate: "Deep and seamless, the 2022 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet wild berries, orange zest, peonies and vine smoke.

95-97 points Vinous: "The 2022 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is well-defined on the nose, with a mélange of red and blueberry fruit, crushed violet and light iris flower scents. This is going to be very seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and layers of mineral-rich red fruit counterbalanced by a perfectly judged line of acidity. It discretely fans out on the finish and feels tender despite the power here. Superb. (NM)" (01/2024)

93-96 points Jasper Morris: "30% whole bunch vinification for this small cuvée. Fine bright fresh purple. Plenty of generous fruit here, lifted raspberries, very generous, this has not dried out at all (which can be a risk for Bonnes mares in hot dry years). A little bit savoury at the back with the crushed strawberries. Drink from 2032-2038." (01/2024)

94-96 points Wine Advocate: "Unfurling in the glass with aromas of raspberries, cherries, rose petals, smoke and dark chocolate, the 2022 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) is full-bodied, layered and seamless, with a satiny attack that segues into a deep and creamy core of fruit that's underpinned by lively acids and framed by sweet, melting tannins.

(WK)" (01/2024)

96 points Tim Atkin: "You can smell this wine halfway across the room. The nose is imposing with its powerful scents of poached plums laced with aged balsamic. The palate incorporates autumnal leaves and softened leather; it's nice to see some terroir nuances in this fruit-laden vintage. The tannins are glossy smooth. Jadot owns vines that sit in both red and white soils and that range from the top to the bottom of the slope." (02/2024)

92-95 points Burghound: "Note: 100% from the Chambolle side that combines about one-third terres rouges and the remainder from terres blanches. Generous wood and menthol elements are present on the cooler and more restrained nose of mostly red and dark cherry. The succulent and seductive flavors are also rich but not super-dense (though by no means dilute) where the lingering and solidly powerful finish tightens up considerably. This should amply reward extended keeping." (04/2024)

95 points Decanter: "Jadot's Bonnes Mares has a marvellously silky texture not hard or heavy. It is the antithesis of some versions of this climat, and excels in elegance and length. Technical director Frédéric Barnier placed it last in the tasting, a sure sign of his esteem. He ferments with one-third whole clusters (rare at Jadot) since he feels comfortable with this quantity since it brings complexity without overly marking the wine. The grapes come from a parcel of just over a quarter-hectare that runs the entire length of the Bonnes Mares slope. (CC)" (01/2024)

K&L Notes: Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "A little of the warm spice noted in another wine – rounder but not larger aromatics. Hmm, but this has its distinct personality – its imprint – from the first impression, texture, shape and flavour. It’s broad and mouth-filling but never overly muscular. Great finishing and I think a great wine too!" (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Louis Jadot Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru (Pre-Arrival) - 0 available ($579.99)

96-98 points Jasper Morris: "A fine crimson colour. The bouquet is immediately appealing showing a distinction not yet apparent in the Chapelle-Chambertin, though that will come. This is the more structured of the two, possibly even a little bit stern, but with a wealth of high-class fruit behind where the refinement begins to show. Drink from 2032-2040+." (01/2024)

98 points James Suckling: "So elegant, rich and balanced, walking the line between generous and structured, it is pleasing from the first sniff of rose petals, violets and baked cherries to the full body and expansive fruit flavors that expand on the palate and linger in the finish. Its a beauty, tempting to drink now but best from 2029." (06/2024)

96-98 points Vinous: "The 2022 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru is an exquisitely defined bouquet with layers of pure red fruit, crushed rock, and a light sea spray influence, very focused and conveying a sense of energy. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. Theres impressive backbone, exerting grip and presence. Yet it is also very elegant and poised. Quite spicy towards the finish, this Clos-de-Bèze lingers in the mouth 40 seconds after it has exited. Superb. (NM)" (01/2024)

98 points Wine Spectator: "Though broad and firmly structured, this red features focused aromas and flavors of cherry, currant, sandalwood, tobacco and stone. Quickly tightens up, with the dense, refined tannins applying grip and supporting the lengthy aftertaste. Beautifully balanced, this just needs time to knit together. Best from 2030 through 2050. From France.B.S." (03/2025)

93-96 points Burghound: "This is actually similar to the Chapelle though with even more spice influence along with a hint of the sauvage. There is impressive volume, richness and power to the concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that also conclude in a powerful, compact and decidedly serious finale that goes on and on. This does need to develop more depth though at this stage, that is not a concern. *Burghound Don't Miss!*" (04/2024)

94-96 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru (Domaine Louis Jadot) has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries and cherries mingled with subtle hints of peony, mint, exotic spices and loamy soil. Full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a creamy core of fruit, lively acids and sweet, melting tannins, this sumptuous, enveloping wine is one of the high points of the range.Winemaker Frédéric Barnier and his team have produced another strong portfolio chez Jadot, with a relatively abundant crop of charming, pure and demonstrative wines, with alcohol back in more normal territory after the highs of 2018, 2019 and 2020. As I've written before, in the cellar, foudres and 500-liter barrels now complement classic 228-liter pièces, a further evolution adapting to warmer, riper vintages. A cold room also helps chill down any fruit that's too warm when it enters the winery. 2022 is also the second vintage of organic conversion for the Domaine Louis Jadot and the Domaine Gagey. (WK)" (01/2024)

95 points Tim Atkin: "Cassis, Linzer torte and baking spice leap from the glass. The broad and firmthough not dryingtannins crisscross the dense mid-palate and leave a lasting impression. Even the zippy acidity can't quite erase them on the generous finish. Some sultry cigar and espresso notes rise on the finish, too." (02/2024)

2022 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru "Champans" (Pre-Arrival) - -7 available ($239.99)

96 points Decanter: "This monumental wine is, as always, a reference for the appellation. In 2022, there is a lovely density of plum and blackberry fruit with spice and earth notes. The texture is plump, velvety and long, with supple tannins supporting the wine without adding astringency. D'Angerville destems and gave the grapes a cold soak before fermentation on native yeasts and ageing in cask (mainly used) to preserve the limpid purity of the fruit. Give this wine five years before opening, and it should continue to improve for at least 30 years beyond that. (CC)" (01/2023)

95 points Tim Atkin: "This is enticingly rustic on the nose with red and black forest berries, fireplace embers and a hint of game. The tannins are powder-fine, and there are some real acidic peps here. This has more flesh on the bones than some of the other Volnay Premier Crus as this vineyard is more clay dominant." (02/2024)

93-95 points Vinous: "The 2022 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru is finely tuned on the nose, a mixture of red and black fruit, crushed stone, damp moss/undergrowth and potpourri. This blossoms in the glass, but, in keeping with d'Angerville's other cuvées, it doesn't press hard on the accelerator. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, lending this a satin-like texture. Not immensely deep, this expressive Les Champans is lightly spiced with a slightly more tertiary finish than its peers. The depth here is cunningly disguised and will only emerge once given adequate bottle maturity. (NM)" (01/2024)

93-95 points Burghound: "Note: from a huge 3.98 ha parcel. A restrained and intensely floral-suffused nose is reticent to the point of being brooding and only grudgingly provides glimpses of fresh dark berries and spice whiffs. The precise, highly energetic and super-fine middleweight flavors also exude evident minerality on the moderately austere and equally long finale. I almost always prefer the d'Angerville Taillepieds to their Champans but that could well change in 2022 as this is outstanding.*Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*" (04/2024)

92-94 points Jasper Morris: "The archetype of Volnay for Guillaume, and it prepares the way for Clos des Ducs. A clear bright purple. Today, the nose has a light reduction, but the fruit beneath is light on its feet yet with a fine tensile strength. This has a long backbone. An interesting, complex wine which one could easily pass over too quickly. Drink from 2031-2040." (01/2024)

91-93 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Champans offers up aromas of dark berries, licorice, grilled squab, spices and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered palate with a sweet core of fruit framed by powdery tannins that assert themselves on the discreetly carnal finish.Guillaume d'Angerville and technical director François Duvivier once again opted to pick early in 2022, beginning harvest on August 23 to produce a crop of pure, fine-boned, perfumed reds that will delight Burgundy purists. As I've written before, followers of d'Angerville will be familiar with the protocol here: biodynamic farming, destemmed grapes, classical macerations and élevage in barrelsof which some 20% are new, with older barrels generally being retained for five vintages. These have always been seriously long-lived wines, but contemporary d'Angerville isn't quite as backward and slow to evolve as the wines were in the days of Guillaume d'Angerville's father. The use of barrels with a somewhat younger average ageeven if percentages of new wood remain very modestgives them a slightly glossier patina, especially in their youth. (WK)" (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru "Clos des Ducs" (Pre-Arrival) - -6 available ($429.99)

94-97 points Jasper Morris: "The grand vin of the domaine is not the deepest in colour. A wonderful perfume, the most delicate of roses yet with a force of its own, while the little red fruits are very subtle too. This is a wonderful gracious and graceful wine, giving me sheer pleasure even in its infancy. It is constructed in so much detail, little pinpricks of red fruited pleasure throughout, with the precision of long-term biodynamics allied to this vintage of entirely healthy fruit. Drink from 2032-2040." (01/2024)

93-96 points Burghound: "(a monopole that measures 2.15 ha). This is the only wine in the range to be firmly reduced andaromatically unreadable. Otherwise, there is excellent size, weight and mid-palate concentration to the compact, austere andmore muscular flavors that culminate in a strikingly long, mineral-driven and compact finale. This youthfully austere effort ispotentially brilliant and should age for a very long time, indeed much like the Taillepieds, its going to need it.*Burghound Don't Miss Outstanding!*" (04/2024)

95 points Decanter: "This wine is inevitably among the great wines from d'Angerville's cellar, but it takes a while to get there. Out of barrel, it lacks the generosity of the Champans; Guillaume d'Angerville opines that it is more 'Cistercian'; by this, he perhaps means more strict, linear, and disciplined. It is substantial and has an admirable depth of flavour, with aromas of currant and plum developing on the palate with hints of cigar leaf, cedar, and earth. Ideally wait seven to 10 years from the vintage to open and drink over the next 20. (CC)" (01/2024)

93-95 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs is lovely, unwinding in the glass with aromas of red berries and cherries mingled with peonies, warm spices, potpourri and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and pure, with a deep and multidimensional core of fruit, lively acids and refined tannins, it concludes with a long, saline finish.Guillaume d'Angerville and technical director François Duvivier once again opted to pick early in 2022, beginning harvest on August 23 to produce a crop of pure, fine-boned, perfumed reds that will delight Burgundy purists.

95 points Tim Atkin: "Guillaume laughed telling me, "A retired Air France pilot recently bought the house just above the clos. He told me one day that the vines are very beautifully trained." Indeed, it is a beautiful, southeast facing vineyard, spanning 2.15 hectares and sitting beside the domaine. The wine starts with a subtly smoky nose complemented with dark fruits and heady savory spices. The tannins feel fairly soft and furry, while the acidity is racy, precise and mouthwatering. Sheer class." (02/2024)

93-95 points Vinous: "The 2022 Volnay Clos des Ducs 1er Cru is the one cuvée that takes the longest to open in the glass. Like a door ajar, it lets you peek inside but not enter: mineral-rich dark berry fruit, hints of Earl Grey and forest floor. This is well-defined with discrete use of oak once more. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. There is an unerring symmetry to this Clos des Ducs, quite structured and less concentrated than some of its peers. It is more sapid towards the finish, with a persistent pepperiness on the aftertaste. Excellent. (NM)" (01/2024)

2022 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru "Les St-Georges" (Pre-Arrival) - -7 available ($249.99)

2022 Domaine Rossignol-Trapet Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru "Clos Prieur" (Pre-Arrival) - 8 available ($169.99)

96 points Decanter: "The premier cru portion of Clos Prieur is located just down-slope from Mazis-Bas, where Rossignol-Trapet has just over a quarter-hectare. In 2022, the vineyard produced a concentrated, lovely wine with a mulberry and black plum fruit aroma and hints of earth and spice. The texture is robust and firm, yet it is approachable and should be ready to drink fairly early. The grapes are primarily fermented as whole clusters, and the wine is now ageing in cask with a moderate proportion of new wood, delivering appealing wine that should age gracefully for 15 to 20 years. (CC)" (01/2024)

92-95 points Jasper Morris: "Mid crimson purple, with a little more fruit density on the nose than the first three premiers crus. Mainly in raspberry mode, filling the mouth rather nicely without ever threating to become exuberant. Correctly persistent. Drink from 2029-2036." (01/2024)

91-93 points Burghound: "A very ripe nose freely offers up its aromas of cassis, poached plum and warm earth. The finer and slightly more energetic middleweight flavors aren't nearly as rich as those of the Corbeaux but they are more mineral-driven and better delineated as well, especially on the youthfully austere and sneaky long finish that is noticeably more structured. This is lovely and a wine that should repay a decade plus of cellaring. *Burghound Outstanding!*" (01/2024)

90-92 points Vinous: "The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru expresses the stem addition on the nose, though tangible, commensurate with the fruit concentration. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins. Theres moderate depth, though a little attenuation towards the finish leaves you wanting more. There's charm here, rather than longevity. (NM)" (01/2024)

K&L Notes: Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "Just under Mazis, from the high part of Clos Prieur – ‘Haute’ – so 1er cru Really perfumed depth, still smoky from the elvage here, the wc rose perfume slowly coming to the fore. In the mouth larger scale – more open and juicy – less overt grain but this remains a wine of Gevrey with some structure – super perfume in this lasting finish. Again a wine with some structure – but worth your patience – keep 3+ years before attacking." (12/2023)
