France
The vast and diverse wine regions of France, each with its own unique terroirs, grape varieties, and winemaking techniques, are a treasure trove.
In Bordeaux, the birthplace of some of the world's most iconic wines, esteemed vineyards such as Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Haut-Brion produce exceptional red wines, showcasing the art of blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. The region is also renowned for its exquisite white wines, with vineyards like Château d'Yquem and Domaine de Chevalier producing legendary sweet wines.
Moving to Burgundy, the vineyards of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, and Domaine Armand Rousseau capture the essence of the region's revered terroir, crafting exquisite red wines from the Pinot Noir grape. Meanwhile, Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Coche-Dury are celebrated for their world-class white wines, predominantly made from Chardonnay.
The Champagne region, known for its sparkling wines, boasts illustrious houses such as Krug, Dom Pérignon, and Moët & Chandon, as well as grower-producers like Pierre Péters and Jacques Selosse. These vineyards create exceptional sparkling wines using the traditional method, offering a symphony of delicate bubbles, elegant flavors, and vibrant acidity.
In the Rhône Valley, iconic vineyards like Chapoutier, E. Guigal, and Château de Beaucastel produce remarkable red wines in the northern appellations of Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, and Cornas, showcasing the elegance and power of Syrah. Further south, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is celebrated for its rich and full-bodied red blends, with Château Rayas and Clos des Papes leading the way.
In Alsace, vineyards such as Domaine Zind-Humbrecht and omaine Trimbach craft exquisite white wines, including Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris, expressing the region's unique terroir and varietal character.
These are just a few highlights among the diverse array of wines that France offers. From the Loire Valley's crisp whites and elegant reds to the Languedoc-Roussillon's bold and robust wines, each region presents its own vinous treasures.

Medium to full-bodied, deep and elegantly muscular, with powdery tannins and a vibrant core of fruit, this is very promising. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)Glowing purple. There is a fine weight of fruit, building steadily, lifting deep cherry notes, with an excellent texture, serge not silk, but it provides a fine backbone. I can see this ageing into a classic Dujac village Morey, always one of Burgundy’s great village wines. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: November 2023. |

Wine Advocate (89-91)The 2010 Morey St. Denis is a touch firmer than the Gevrey, and also shows darker tonality in its red fruit. Dried flowers, mint and licorice are layered into the energetic finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. |

Vinous (89)Medium red. Aromas of raspberry and underbrush are complicated by a musky carnal quality and a note of mocha. Offers lovely sweetness and breadth for a 2014 village wine, with brown spices dominating the middle palate. Has the stuffing to buffer its tannins, finishing with very good spicy length. |

Vinous (86-88)The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis Village was very tight on the nose with brambly black fruit and loamy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresher feel than the Gevrey, slightly better acidity and though not overly complex, it conveys a sense of joie-de-vivre on the finish. |

Vinous (87-89)The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Village comes from several parcels. For me, this works better on the nos than the Gevrey-Chambertin, more fruité and cohesion, a little more vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite saline with a gentle grip on the finish. Recommended. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Village offers slightly darker fruit than the Gevrey-Chambertin, straightforward but clean. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins. I appreciate the citrus undertow of this Morey, focused with a tensile, almost steely finish. Fine. |

Vinous (89-91)Bright medium red. Inviting aromas of red raspberry, smoky minerals and spices. At once velvety and vibrant, offering lovely floral lift and an intriguing carnal quality to its flavors of raspberry, red licorice and spices. Finishes with dusty tannins and lingering notes of strawberry and spices. Excellent potential here. Jeremy Seysses vinified with a significant percentage of whole clusters across the board in 2015 and aged his nvgociant wines in about 25% new oak. (The Morey-Saint-Denis was in an awkward, slightly dry stage in November.) |

Burghound (87-89)An exceptionally fresh and very pretty nose offers up notes of both red and blue pinot fruit, lavender and a trace of spice nuances. The supple, lacy and seductively textured middle weight flavors flash a touch of minerality before culminating in a dusty finish where a hint of bitter pit fruit character surfaces. I like the balance and this should drink well early but age over the mid-term too. |

Vinous (87-89)The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Village is tightly wound on the nose with black cherries, strawberry and touches of wild hawthorn and heather. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. This needs a little time to absorb the new oak, but that will be assimilated with time and I appreciate its candied, slightly tart finish. Enjoy this over the next 7-10 years. |

Wine Advocate (95-97)The 2014 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a detailed bouquet that stops you in your tracks. There is genuine mineraité and tension already locked in here, aromatics that are beautifully focused and almost Richebourg-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, succinctly interwoven new oak so that you barely notice its presence. It gently fans out towards the poised, tensile finish and by that time you are already won over by this outstanding Grand Cru from Dujac. |
