Vinous (92-94)
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a complex and outgoing bouquet with redcurrant, cranberry and raspberry fruit exploding from the glass. There is no holding back here vis-à-vis other cuvées. The palate is medium-bodied with candied orange peel infusing the vivacious and slightly tart red fruit, but I appreciate the sharpness, almost flintiness towards the finish and the bitterness on the aftertaste that compels another sip. Excellent.$298.00 -

Vinous (90-92)
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru comes from 33-year-old vines adjacent to Evocelles. The nose takes more time to settle compared to the Champerrier, gradually evolving attractive briar and black currant aromas and sous-bois and mulch-like scents. The palate is medium-bodied and gently grippy on the entry. This is more structured than the Champerrier, with a little chewiness on the finish. Good potential, but it needs three to five years in bottle.$572.00 -

Vinous (90-92)
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru has a touch of reduction on the nose, showing a mixture of red and black fruit, background marmalade and Seville orange scents that are quite complex and well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet core of maraschino cherry and blood orange, finely chiselled tannins and a bright finish. This should give 12-15 years of drinking pleasure.$571.00 -
(6x75cl) 2020Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-91)
The fruit comes from 7 plots mostly on the lower slopes and up to 39 years old. Fine vibrant mid purple, sturdy too, but this time the fruit comes across a little fresher. Once again there is some fairly powerful structure here in dark raspberry mode, just a little bit savoury to finish, but notably longer than the Bourgogne. Tasted: November 2021$473.00 -

Burghound (90-92)
(from a .28 ha holding). A notably ripe but agreeably fresh and earthy nose speaks of cassis, violet and plum that is trimmed in discreet but not invisible oak. There is outstanding richness to the impressively concentrated and generously proportion flavors that are shaped by a moderately firm tannic spine that belies just a hint of rusticity on the lingering finish where the only reproach is a nuance of warmth. This is a really good Gevrey villages. (90-92)/2027+$357.00 -

Vinous (89-91)
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Champerrier, matured in one-third new oak, has a higher-toned nose than the Vieilles Vignes. Blueberry hints poke through the veneer of red fruit, and there's a little more new wood that will need to assimilate with bottle age. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite sweet and slightly confit in style, perhaps not displaying the complexity or mineralité of the Vieilles Vignes, though there is appealing succulence on the finish.$396.00 -
(1x75cl) 2018Vinous (89-91)
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes comes from seven parcels of vines between 40 and 100 years old. There are blackberry, boysenberry and briar scents on the nose, which is quite dense and more backward than the regular Gevrey. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline, licorice-tinged entry and very fine weight in the mouth. There is some new oak on the finish that will need to be subsumed. Give this three or four years once in bottle.$102.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)
40 to 100 years plus, the oldest being a plot of Epointures planted in 1915, and mostly well placed above the road. The nose offers a depth and weight of dark fruit without too much detail. There is more in the way of plump ripe raspberry fruit on the palate, more juice and less structure at the back. Really continues through extremely well. Tasted: November 2021$345.00 -
Vinous (91-93)
A mixture of 40-year-old vines and vines a century old (the oldest planted in 1915), the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, aged in 25% new oak, is perfumed and floral on the nose, displaying a melange of incense and iris flower with dark cherries and raspberry. Full of joie-de-vivre. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. It's quite fleshy and ripe but with underlying mineralité that pushes through on the finish. Excellent.$326.00 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes comes from eight parcels from 40 years old to some planted in 1915. Always one of my favorite cuvées from Magnien, this is more defined and energetic than the regular Gevrey, offering Morello cherries, strawberries and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins and a mixture of red and black fruit, supple in texture. It is not a concentrated Gevrey but feels very cohesive towards the finish. Give this puppy a couple of years in bottle.$396.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)
A depth of ruby purple. This is tenser and more backward, with more prominent tannins and good acidity. The fruit has a slightly darker raspberry feel to it. This will need significantly longer. The wood tannins are a little fresh. If you want a wine to drink a little earlier, then the straight Gevrey-Chambertin would be the choice. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Nov 2024.$389 - $467

(6x75cl) 2015Vinous - Neal Martin (90)
The 2015 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru was aged in 50% new oak. Well-defined scents of mulberry and strawberry emerge on the nose, with candied orange peel and tangerine emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, Grenache-like entry. This is a little heady, maybe, and perhaps it feels a little too sweet on the finish. Nonetheless, there is plenty of enjoyment to be found here.$1,405.00 -
