2019  

"Moderate reduction pushes the ripe fruit aromas to the background. The very rich full-bodied flavors possess impressive intensity while displaying excellent length on the linear, youthfully austere and very serious finish. This is a very fine Meursault villages and worth checking out." - 89-92/Outstanding Top Value, Burghound

2019  Savigny-les-Beaune

"The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières 1er Cru, grown on 30–50cm of alluvial soil over stratified hard limestone subsoil and matured in around 35% new oak, is blessed with an engaging, pure bouquet of red currant and cranberry jus, a palpable sense of minerality coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and vibrant red berry fruit, the 60-year-old vines imparting wonderful complexity on the finish. An outstanding Les Lavières that comes highly recommended." - 92-94pts Vinous

2019  Savigny-les-Beaune

"A markedly more expressive nose freely offers up plenty of floral nuances on the red and dark cherry, plum and soft spice-inflected aromas. There is perfectly good if not exceptionally density to the middle weight flavors that possess a caressing but punchy palate impression, all wrapped in a lingering and balanced finish. This is sufficiently structured to reward up to a decade of cellar time and this is worth considering." - 91pts/Outstanding Burghound

2019  Monthelie Blanc 'Les Sous Roches'

Monthelie Blanc 'Les Sous Roches' Soil: Oxford white marl. The extremely draining nature of the soil, combined with the repeated climatic incidents that this area has experienced for several years has made the production of this wine long and complicated. Exposition: East. The vines are planted on a very steep slope beneath a rock bank (“Les Sous Roches”). This dominant position offers a magnificent view of the vineyards of Monthélie, Meursault, and the Bresse plain. First Planting: In 2012 from massive selections of Chardonnays and qualitative clones. Plant Density: 11,000 vines/ha Harvest: Very small first harvest in 2017 (10 hl / ha), 6 years after planting. Vinification: Pneumatic pressing of the whole harvest. Natural yeasts. Alcoholic (11 months) and malolactic fermentation in barrels (30% new). Light fining and filtration on pure cellulose plates. Tasting Notes: Pure with little sulfur. Dry, clear, & precise character. Subtle fruit, prominent mineral flavors, and firm acidity.

2019  Les Corvees

1er Les Corvees ---- "Fresh, cool and airy aromas are comprised by notes of plum, black raspberry and earth. There is both better volume and mid-palate density to the delicious medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a lingering and more complex finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth." - 89-91pts BH

2019  Aloxe-Corton Les Valozieres

Aloxe-Corton Les Valozieres ---- "Notions of red plums, cherries, forest floor and raw cocoa introduce the 2019 Aloxe-Corton Les Valozières, a medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy wine that's lively and elegant, testimony to Julien's deft hand with this north-facing and potentially rustic site." - 90pts WA

2019  Pommard 1er Cru

Pommard 1er Cru

2019  

The fame of Pommard in the 19th century earned it the image of a wine that is both forceful and virile. In reality, time, terroir and methods of vinification of Domaine GERMAIN have all combined to create a more subtle reality, a wine that is both richer and more sensitive. Its colour is the deep, dark red with mauve highlights. Its aromas are redolent of blackberry, bilberry, or gooseberry, cherry pit and ripe plum. Often, wild and feline notes develop with age. At full maturity, it tends towards leather, chocolate and pepper. It needs to be given time to open up to its fullest extent and to display its mouth-filling texture, its firm but delicate structure, its fruit-filled mouth, and its chewy tannins, which by then will be properly smoothed down.

2019  

"A blend of lieux-dits Frionnes and Sur Gamay, the 2019 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru mingles notes of pear and waxy citrus rind with hints of almond paste and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, it's delicately textural and open-knit, concluding with a nicely defined finish." - William Kelley
