2013  Morey-Saint-Denis

"This is more complex still if only just with a slightly less elegant array of red and blue fruit scents that include pomegranate, plum, blue berry, earth and a hint of exotic tea. The sleekly muscular middle weight flavors exude a fine bead of minerality on the delicious, intense, well-detailed and powerful finish that delivers excellent persistence. This could accurately be described as a mini Clos de la Roche and should amply repay extended cellaring, indeed it will need at least 6 to 8 years first." - 91-93pts/Sweet Spot Outstanding Burghound

2013  

"A notably spicy and attractively floral-suffused nose features notes of plum, rose petal, violets and ripe red currants. There is a seductive texture to the openly rich and generously proportioned flavors that retain a lovely sense of vibrancy on the lightly mineral-inflected finish that delivers both fine depth and length. This is a relatively refined Ech thanks to the fine grain of the supporting tannins." - 92-94pts Burghound

2014  

"Once again while the oak is more moderately applied subtle is not the word that I would use to describe its presence at present on the much more sauvage-inflected aromas of freshly turned earth, forest floor and various dark berry fruit scents. There is a highly seductive mouth feel to the equally big-bodied flavors thanks to the sappy dry extract that both coats the palate and buffers the marked firm tannic spine on the dusty, serious and gorgeously long finish. This ever-so-mildly rustic effort may one day catch its Bonnes Mares stable mate but at this early stage it appears that the Bonnes Mares enjoys the slightest of edges. Either way, 15 years from now it will be fascinating to compare these two beauties!" - 94pts Burghound

2015  

"Reduction presently flattens the underlying fruit. Otherwise there is a really lovely texture to the medium weight plus flavors thanks to the abundance of mid-palate sap that coats the mouth and buffers the moderately firm, complex and lingering finish where a touch of wood emerges. This is very Charmes in style and like the Echézeaux, it should be approachable after 6 to 8 years if desired." - 91-94pts Burghound

2016  

"This is elegant and evokes floral, sandalwood, wild cherry, strawberry and spice flavors. Linear in profile, with excellent tension and balance. This remains long and detailed. Best from 2023 through 2042. 4,233 cases made, 30 cases imported." - 94pts WS

2019  1er La Riotte V.V.

1er La Riotte V.V. ----"An exuberantly spicy nose is comprised by notes of poached plum, violet, lavender and a suggestion of warm earth. There is once again a lovely sense of underlying tension to the medium-bodied flavors that possess a caressing palate impression before firming up on the sneaky long and balanced finale. This could also use better depth, but it has the density and tannic structure to allow this to happen." - Outstanding, Burghound

2017  Nuits-St-Georges

"The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru, which is matured in 55% new oak, has a very detailed bouquet of tensile black cherry and light cassis fruit, the mineral component becoming more expressive with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with broody black cherry and boysenberry fruit, a strong saline influence here and an oyster-shell-tinged finish. It will need several years bottle age but will be worth the wait." - 91-93pts Vinous
