2014  Roncevie

"Roncevie" is truly an insider Burgundy secret and a top value for those in the know. The vineyard sits surrounded by Gevrey village vineyards, and neighbors grand cru Mazoyeres-Chambertin. Imagine the spring-sweet flavors of cold cherry soup and wild strawberries, brightened by a hint of lemon zest. The nose is floral and fresh, with suggestions of lavender and a good shake of black pepper. Aromas are unmistakably Chambolle-inspired, with spring blossoms and purple fruits. Always a blockbuster and a wine that delivers far above its "simple" status.

2015  1er Cru Les Blanchards

"Reduction. Though subtle here too there is a slightly finer mouth feel to the detailed and solidly intense flavors that possess focused power on the equally firm is ever-so-slightly less rustic finale. I would again advise holding this for at least 5 years first though 10 to 12 is likely to be ultimately necessary. Recommended if you have the patience to wait." - 90-93pts/Outstanding, Burghound

2015  Marsannay Les Longeroies

Marsannay Les Longeroies from a mix of 55+ and 70+ year old vines - "As is usually the case chez Clair, this is the most interesting and complete of his Marsannay cuvées with its well-layered nose of red cherry, violet, spice and subtle wood nuances. There is both good minerality and detail to the energetic medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by moderately firm tannins on the balanced and dusty finale. This too will require at least a few years of bottle age first as the tannins are prominent." - 89-91/Outstanding Burghound

2015  Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos du Fonteny

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos du Fonteny - "A deeply pitched yet wonderfully elegant nose is comprised by densely fruited aromas of red cherry, cassis, earth, violet and sandalwood. There is a terrific sense of underlying vibrancy to the refined, cool and restrained flavors that possess a taut muscularity on the impressively persistent, well-balanced and mildly austere finale. This is definitely built-to-age and will require at least 6 to 8 years but reward up to 15 or so. In a word, excellent." - 90-93pts/Outstanding Burghound

2013  Meursault Clos de la Barre

"Here there are no reductive issues as the ultra-fresh if restrained aromas of citrus, spiced pear and floral scents possess fine complexity, particularly for a villages level wine. The middle weight flavors possess equally good freshness and verve before terminating in a beautifully deep, persistent and impeccably well-balanced finale. This delivers excellent quality for the appellation and is recommended." - Burghound
