Vinous (92-95)
Good bright, deep red. Red berries and licorice on the nose, lifted by pungent minerality. Sharply delineated and brisk in the mouth; tighter than the other Gevrey premier crus here but with terrific dimension and inner-mouth tension. Most impressive today on the rising, perfumed back end, which leaves the taste buds quivering. This beauty is downright 2010-like in its detail and perfume.Inc. TAX€167.95 -

(1x300cl) 2019Vinous (87-89)
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has a vibrant bouquet of expressive blueberry and raspberry fruit laced with sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, well-judged acidity and a very harmonious finish that lingers. One of the best village crus from the range.Inc. TAX€474.29 -

Barrel sample. Greyish deep crimson. Like the Échezeaux, this smells of luxury but here it is darker and a little more oaky on the nose, very dark fruit profile. On the palate, dark, dense and savoury, a little charry, peppery, spiced, but the tannins are unexpectedly fine and supple even if the oak has thickened them slightly. Long, savoury aftertaste.

Jancis Robinson (18)
Cask sample. Intense, classy nose with real voluptuousness. Polished tannins are there in abundance with really bright fruit in great balance. This should beguile right through its (presumably long) life. Glossy fruit and fine, very ripe tannins. Good freshness and length.Inc. TAX€2,492.26 -

Jancis Robinson (18.5)
Barrel sample. Deep crimson. Intense, dark fruit that puts the oak into the background. Terrific intensity on the palate, dark, savoury, charry but not at all over-oaked. Elegant tannins, extremely fine and deliciously dry. Immense length and refinement.Inc. TAX€1,542.84 -
Jancis Robinson (17)
Cask sample. Deep crimson. Sample is showing very slight signs of tiredness which I will try to ignore. But the wine doesn’t seem to have quite the energy and conviction of the Richebourg. Maybe it’s a sample thing? But there’s just a slight rawness here as well as the density and energy.Inc. TAX€1,422.84 -

Jancis Robinson (17.5+)
Tank sample. Deep cherry red. At first the fruit smells much riper here than any of the Maison Roche de Bellene wines tasted so far. Peppery damsons, but it changes in the glass. Dark and quite oaky, it seems, almost charry. Dry, fine tannins pull this back into the elegant camp. I changed my mind about this wine as I tasted it. It needs a lot of time but the structure is very fine indeed.Inc. TAX€170.35 -
