(1x150cl) 2021Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)
A fresh pale colour. Quite a discreet bouquet. 1 x 300 litre barrel, half the usual volume and a third of what is allowed. Distinction though, as the fruit begins slowly to emerge. Very graceful, not the deepest on the market, a little lemon scent, correct acidity with a light mineral touch. This is a fine wine which should blossom with time. Drink from 2028-2035.Inc.

Vinous (93-95)
(not racked; from a single parcel of vines on pure white soil on the Morey-Saint-Denis side of the cru, which was barely touched by frost according to Leroux): Healthy dark red. Captivating lift to the sappy aromas of maraschino cherry, licorice and exotic herbs. Dense, vigorous wine with terrific medicinal reserve and punch to its dark fruit, licorice and mineral flavors. Youthfully imploded in a classic Bonnes-Mares manner but not rigid or hard. A wine with outstanding finishing energy and length, built for a slow evolution in bottle--and a classic expression of its terroir. (Incidentally, Leroux is looking to supplement this fruit source with another piece of Bonnes-Mares.)Inc. TAX€698.96 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2021 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet, with a mixture of red and black fruit, undergrowth and dried leaves. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins. It's quite linear for a Bonnes-Mares and has a welcome, bitter edge on the finish. Fine, but a bit gawky.Inc. TAX€820.07 -
(1x150cl) 2015Vinous (93-96)
(50% new oak; vinified with two-thirds whole clusters): Healthy medium red. Knockout nose combines musky raspberry and complex soil tones. Began a bit monolithic on the palate, but aeration brought an increasingly silky texture and a captivating blend of raspberry and crushed rock lifted by spices. Still youthfully tight, this rather saline Chambertin is just beginning to express itself. Finishes with serious tannins and outstanding length. One can feel the power here, but this very tactile wine is quite unevolved. The finish offers terrific definition and lift.Inc. TAX€853.12 -
(1x150cl) 2017Vinous (91-93)
The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru has a tight-lipped bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass; the 80% whole bunches imparts captivating undergrowth/damp moss aromas that filter through the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and quite dense, with grippy tannin and a light espresso note. I find the Mazis-Chambertin has a little more grace on the finish by direct comparison. A bit of a curmudgeon, this will benefit from four or five years in bottle.Inc. TAX€849.01 -
(1x150cl) 2018Vinous (93-95)
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru takes time to get going but is worth the wait, offering vivid red fruit, forest floor, tobacco and light oyster shell aromas.

Vinous (91-94)
Spicy nose is going through a slightly oxidative phase (this wine is lower in total sulfur today than the Abbaye de Morgeot and Les Baudines). Very rich and pliant but salty and hard to assess today, with its peachy yellow fruits in the background. This densely packed, nutty wine finishes with terrific grip, excellent length and a powerful impression of dry extract. These vines are 50 to 60 years of age and struggling, Leroux told me. There's barely 20 centimeters of topsoil here and the vines don't look healthy but they produce very concentrated grapes, added Leroux, who refers to this wine as his baby grand cru.

Vinous (96)
The 2015 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has an immediately seductive, extremely pure bouquet of bright red fruit, strawberry and cranberry; hints of blueberry surface with aeration. The oak is very well integrated, and with continued aeration in the glass, the raspberry component becomes more expressive. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit encased by grippy, slightly firm tannins. This is a very serious Grand Cru, extraordinarily focused and full of tension; the mouth still tingles 60 seconds after it has exited. A consummate expression of a great Burgundy vintage. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.Inc. TAX€1,634.26 -
(6x75cl) 2018Vinous (95)
The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru initially has a slight reduction on the nose, red cherries and cranberry, like the 2018 Clos des Lambrays, clarifying with aeration and exhibiting fine transparency. It does not have the grandeur of the aforementioned Lambrays. The palate is more promising with layers of pure black cherry and bilberry fruit, white pepper and tobacco. Very fine delineation on the finish, taut and precise, this exerts just the right amount of grip on the finish. This should age extremely well in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.Inc. TAX€3,406.38 -
(1x150cl) 2021Vinous (94-96)
The 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet with brambly red fruit, fine mineralité, tension and blossoms with aeration in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a very pure opening. It's slightly granular in texture, almost creamy, with a gorgeous, pure and sensual finish. Superb.Inc. TAX€491.92 -
Vinous (90-93)
(Leroux lost one-third of the crop here but noted that the wall around Clos Vougeot gave his vines some protection): Dark red. Inviting ripe perfume of cherry, raspberry and licorice. Distinctly fatter and sweeter in the mouth than the Echézeaux, conveying a more pliant texture and lovely perfume as well as a strong mineral character. Then tougher on the back end, finishing with substantial chewy, tongue-dusting tannins and an impression of medicinal reserve.Inc. TAX€313.15 -
(3x75cl) 2016Vinous (89-92)
(Leroux began with only Vignes Blanches but now gets fruit from multiple climats in Echézeaux; totally destemmed): Dark, bright red. Distinctly dark, brooding aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate and licorice accented by a peppery quality. A bit youthfully brutal on the palate, offering savory flavors of blueberry, crushed stone, pepper and spices. This firmly structured, uncompromising Echézeaux finishes with dry, granular tannins and is very difficult to taste today. These vineyards were hit hard by the frost in 2016 and the malolactic fermentation was late.Inc. TAX€1,590.84

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)
A fresh pale colour. Quite a discreet bouquet. 1 x 300 litre barrel, half the usual volume and a third of what is allowed. Distinction though, as the fruit begins slowly to emerge. Very graceful, not the deepest on the market, a little lemon scent, correct acidity with a light mineral touch. This is a fine wine which should blossom with time. Drink from 2028-2035.In Bond€1,095.00 -

Vinous (93-95)
(not racked; from a single parcel of vines on pure white soil on the Morey-Saint-Denis side of the cru, which was barely touched by frost according to Leroux): Healthy dark red. Captivating lift to the sappy aromas of maraschino cherry, licorice and exotic herbs. Dense, vigorous wine with terrific medicinal reserve and punch to its dark fruit, licorice and mineral flavors. Youthfully imploded in a classic Bonnes-Mares manner but not rigid or hard. A wine with outstanding finishing energy and length, built for a slow evolution in bottle--and a classic expression of its terroir. (Incidentally, Leroux is looking to supplement this fruit source with another piece of Bonnes-Mares.)In Bond€575.00 -
Vinous (90-92)
The 2021 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet, with a mixture of red and black fruit, undergrowth and dried leaves. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins. It's quite linear for a Bonnes-Mares and has a welcome, bitter edge on the finish. Fine, but a bit gawky.In Bond€676.00 -

Vinous (93-96)
(50% new oak; vinified with two-thirds whole clusters): Healthy medium red. Knockout nose combines musky raspberry and complex soil tones. Began a bit monolithic on the palate, but aeration brought an increasingly silky texture and a captivating blend of raspberry and crushed rock lifted by spices. Still youthfully tight, this rather saline Chambertin is just beginning to express itself. Finishes with serious tannins and outstanding length. One can feel the power here, but this very tactile wine is quite unevolved. The finish offers terrific definition and lift.In Bond€703.00 -

Vinous (91-93)
The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru has a tight-lipped bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass; the 80% whole bunches imparts captivating undergrowth/damp moss aromas that filter through the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and quite dense, with grippy tannin and a light espresso note. I find the Mazis-Chambertin has a little more grace on the finish by direct comparison. A bit of a curmudgeon, this will benefit from four or five years in bottle.In Bond€700.00 -

Vinous (93-95)
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru takes time to get going but is worth the wait, offering vivid red fruit, forest floor, tobacco and light oyster shell aromas. The palate is very refined on the entry, underpinned by a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious and quite persistent, with a paradoxically powerful finish full of finesse. Gorgeous.In Bond€763.00 -

Vinous (91-94)
Spicy nose is going through a slightly oxidative phase (this wine is lower in total sulfur today than the Abbaye de Morgeot and Les Baudines). Very rich and pliant but salty and hard to assess today, with its peachy yellow fruits in the background. This densely packed, nutty wine finishes with terrific grip, excellent length and a powerful impression of dry extract. These vines are 50 to 60 years of age and struggling, Leroux told me. There's barely 20 centimeters of topsoil here and the vines don't look healthy but they produce very concentrated grapes, added Leroux, who refers to this wine as his baby grand cru.

Vinous (96)
The 2015 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has an immediately seductive, extremely pure bouquet of bright red fruit, strawberry and cranberry; hints of blueberry surface with aeration. The oak is very well integrated, and with continued aeration in the glass, the raspberry component becomes more expressive. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit encased by grippy, slightly firm tannins. This is a very serious Grand Cru, extraordinarily focused and full of tension; the mouth still tingles 60 seconds after it has exited. A consummate expression of a great Burgundy vintage. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.In Bond€1,350.00 -

Vinous (95)
The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru initially has a slight reduction on the nose, red cherries and cranberry, like the 2018 Clos des Lambrays, clarifying with aeration and exhibiting fine transparency. It does not have the grandeur of the aforementioned Lambrays. The palate is more promising with layers of pure black cherry and bilberry fruit, white pepper and tobacco. Very fine delineation on the finish, taut and precise, this exerts just the right amount of grip on the finish. This should age extremely well in bottle.

Vinous (94-96)
The 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet with brambly red fruit, fine mineralité, tension and blossoms with aeration in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a very pure opening. It's slightly granular in texture, almost creamy, with a gorgeous, pure and sensual finish. Superb.In Bond€402.00 -
Vinous (90-93)
(Leroux lost one-third of the crop here but noted that the wall around Clos Vougeot gave his vines some protection): Dark red. Inviting ripe perfume of cherry, raspberry and licorice. Distinctly fatter and sweeter in the mouth than the Echézeaux, conveying a more pliant texture and lovely perfume as well as a strong mineral character. Then tougher on the back end, finishing with substantial chewy, tongue-dusting tannins and an impression of medicinal reserve.In Bond€257.00 -
(3x75cl) 2016
Vinous (89-92)
(Leroux began with only Vignes Blanches but now gets fruit from multiple climats in Echézeaux; totally destemmed): Dark, bright red. Distinctly dark, brooding aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate and licorice accented by a peppery quality. A bit youthfully brutal on the palate, offering savory flavors of blueberry, crushed stone, pepper and spices. This firmly structured, uncompromising Echézeaux finishes with dry, granular tannins and is very difficult to taste today. These vineyards were hit hard by the frost in 2016 and the malolactic fermentation was late.In Bond€1,315.00
