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

2015  Puligny 1er Cru Les Pucelles

Puligny 1er Cru Les Pucelles

2014  

Deep, almost-inky garnet core, with purple reflections at the rim. The aromatics, too, reflect a riper vintage, with notes of black cherry, black plum, wet violets, a hint of licorice, black pepper, and forest floor. Nearly full-bodied and quite seductive to sip now, it remains well-framed by a smoky, stony mineral quality and balancing acidity.

2016  Nuits-St-Georges

Nuits-St-Georges ---- "A more deeply pitched nose features notes of plum and earth along with whiffs of wood and the sauvage. There is fine density and intensity to the lightly stony medium weight flavors that conclude in a saline and moderately rustic finale." - BH

2016  Nuits-St-Georges Aux St. Juliens

Nuits-St-Georges Aux St. Juliens ----"A pretty and more elegant nose reveals notes of both red and dark currant that are suffused with soft spice and floral nuances. There is slightly better concentration to the caressing middle weight flavors where a hint of minerality arises on the solidly complex, lingering and youthfully austere finale. This mouth coating effort is sufficiently firm that it will need at least a few years to unwind. Outstanding." - BH

2016  L'Empreinte

L'Empreinte -- A harmonious blend of the Joblot's 1er Cru vineyards in the ampitheatre of Givry, average vine age of 35 years.

2015  1er Cru Les Rugiens Bas

"There is just enough wood present to mention, framing the cool, pure and beautifully complex dark currant, red cherry, spice and whiff of the sauvage. As is usually the case with Rugiens, the big-bodied flavors still manage to be finer than those of a typical Chaponnières and notably more mineral-inflected while delivering superb depth and length. I very much like the mouth feel and this is both classy and stylish." - Burghound "Outstanding"

2017  Les Epenots

Les Epenots -- "Once again there are ample wood and menthol notes surrounding the more elegant nose of ripe red berries, spice and warm earth nuances. The caressing and delicious flavors are not as dense but they're definitely more refined and I particularly like the texture of the impressively persistent finish. This needs to add depth but it seems like a relatively sure bet that it will. Lovely." - 91-93pts/Sweet Spot Burghound
