The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.

(1x75cl) 2017Vinous (92)
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru has a clean bouquet of red plum, meat juices and very subtle scorched earth aromas, full of character. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine delineation, nice poise and a judicious touch of spice. Focused, with ample structure, this is a Premier Cru that may have more longevity than its peers. I like the linearity here. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.Inc. TAX€140.22 -
Vinous (93)
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru seems to be fulfilling the promise it showed from barrel. Elegant and very pure on the nose, it unfurls with those same brambly red berry fruit scents, tinged with potpourri and wilted rose petal. The palate conveys that sense of transparency, filigreed tannins framing pretty red fruit, and shows decent grip on the finish. I can see this maturing with style.Inc. TAX€612.72 -

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru contains 20% whole bunch with 50% new oak. There is a very tiny reduction here but there is plenty of red berry fruit with touches of orange pith. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, very cohesive and fine tuned towards the pixelated finish. Very long, very finessed.Inc. TAX€161.33 -

Domaine. Four barrels, one new, 25% whole bunch. Picked 28th September, so towards the end. A gorgeous glowing fresh crimson purple. A light reduction on the nose, but not enough to hide the fruit. An ethereal style of pinot with light cherry and alpine strawberry notes. Very enticing. Extremely harmonious all the way through. Quite lovely, with the whole bunches adding an extra note at the finish.Inc. TAX€629.12 -

Moderate wood stops short of being invasive on the ripe wild red and dark currant, violet and subtle sauvage-suffused nose. The wonderfully fine, if not especially dense, middle weight flavors firm up on the serious, youthfully austere and sneaky long finale. I like the balance and despite not being particularly concentrated, a wine that should age well over the mid-term.Expected Price Range€352 - €422 -

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru contains no stems this year. It has a very delineated and focused bouquet with superb mineralité and tension.

Domaine Two barrels, one new and one one year old, destemmed entirely. Some of the vines date back to 1929. Mid crimson colour, fine weight of strawberry fruit, absolutely fills the middle of the mouth, with quite a persistent finish.

5 Star Wine. Two thirds of the vines were planted in from 1929, and the rest are not much younger. Very millerand grapes which were destemmed. Seven barrels made, which is unheard of even in the memory of the Maume family, whence these vines originated. Bright vigorous purple fruit, very sensual, picked at ideal ripeness, the fruit flowing across the palate, backed by useful tannins to finish. Drink from 2029-2038.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has the audacity to surpass the En Pallud this year. It has a potent nose that seems to jump out of the glass.

Fine tannins, sapid and tensile, there is a brightness to this Village Cru that is quite thrilling. Superb.Inc. TAX€119.33 -

A blend from across the appellation, six vineyards making 24 barrels from 1.2ha. Lovely ruby purple. 15% whole bunch. Once again it gives the extra lift in this case on a more full-bodied fruit on the palate, raspberry and strawberry, good acidity and fine length. Drink from 2028-2034.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois is completely de-stemmed. It has a floral bouquet that bursts from the glass, revealing rose and iris petals and even a touch of lavender. The medium-bodied palate offers fleshy ripe tannins, fine acidity and a touch of allspice and clove toward the finish. There is still a touch of new oak to be subsumed, but this will be a very fine Aux Etelois.Inc. TAX€396.06 -

Domaine. 4 barrels, half new, 60% whole bunches, very healthy grapes here. Not too deep in colour, with a very stylish nose, albeit with the oak quite present in youth.

(80% new oak; 60% vendange entier): Good dark red. Complex nose and palate meld cherry liqueur, animal fur, resiny spices and cedar, lifted by high notes of flowers and citrus peel.

The 2015 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru, which includes 40% stems, has a gorgeous, engaging bouquet with a conspicuous oyster shell/marine influence running through the crystalline red berry fruit. There is outstanding aromatics, tension and energy here. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, harmonious and candied with finer tannin than the Mazoyères-Chambertin that one used to find with Bertrand Maume's wines, blessed with superb salinity and precision on the finish. This is a brilliant wine from Domaine Tawse, probably the best that has been made under the new ownership.Inc. TAX€325.88 -

The 2016 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru has a complex and higher toned bouquet compared to the Mazis-Chambertin from Faiveley: compelling aromas of blackberry, raspberry preserve, briary, sea cave and light rose petal aromas. The oak just needs more time to assimilate. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, and nicely pitched acidity. A tightly coiled finish feels abrupt for the moment.

An overtly spicy array is comprised of mostly red berries and lovely range of floral elements that are trimmed in just enough wood to merit pointing out. The mouthfeel of the broad-shouldered flavors is sleeker though not quite as dense or powerful while exhibiting fine length on the lingering and moderately austere finale where a hint of bitter cherry pit-character emerges. This is more elegant than the Mazoyères though just as structured and a wine that will also need extended cellaring to arrive at its peak.Inc. TAX€388.75 -
