2015  Aux Reas

Aux Reas -- "There’s fine purity to the black cherry, blackberry and violet aromas and flavors in this red, which is fragrant and harmonious, more velvet than silk in texture, leaving a mouthwatering graphite impression on the finish. Best from 2022 through 2035." - 93pts Bruce Sanderson for WS, March 7, 2018

2011  Vieilles Vignes

Vieilles Vignes - "Here too there is a touch of wood spice to the compositionally similar if slightly riper and more complex nose. There is excellent underlying tension to the delicious and solidly complex flavors that possess very ripe if firm tannins that impart a slightly chewy texture to the serious but not particularly rustic finish. Note there is a trace of backend dryness that my score assumes is due to the recent bottling as the underlying phenolics appear to be quite ripe." - BH Outstanding

2015  

Located just southwest of the commune of Chablis, Irancy boasts an unusual topography: it lies in the hollow of a valley whose slopes (covered primarily with vines and cherry trees) protect it from harsh weather of its northern climes. Its geographical location, on the right bank of the Yonne River, also provides good moisture from morning mists. Fortuitously the region does claim adequate sunshine for full ripening. Irancy is a natural ampitheater and a unique winegrowing environment. -- A perfect appellation for the ripe 2015 vintage, the wine retains beautiful acidity to complement lovely red fruit. Beautiful balance, incredible value.

"This is also quite restrained and cool with a similar aromatic profile. There is however more size, weight and power to the solidly concentrated and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent complexity and length for a villages level Gevrey. This is outstanding and well worth your attention." - 89-92pts/Outstanding Top Value (barrel) Burghound

2006  Clos de Forets 1er Cru

2015  Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes

Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes -- "Discreet but not invisible wood sets off the equally pure and very pretty nose that consists of liqueur-like red berry fruit, pungent earth and a sauvage wisp. The sleek, delineated and punchy medium-bodied flavors reveal ample minerality on the focused if youthfully austere finish that is shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins. This too is worth considering." - 90-92 Burghound

2015  Vosne-Romanee Clos de la Fontaine

Vosne-Romanee Clos de la Fontaine -- It is an excellent example of Vosne-Romanee, in one word, elegant. Cherry color, fragrant nose and a richness balanced by a judicious amount of tannins and acidity. Perfect to consume young with red meats.
