2019  Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges ---- "The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village offers up notes of plums, sweet spices, raw cocoa and forest floor, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and charming palate that's round and velvety. As readers may remember, this derives from four lieux-dits in the south of the appellation." - 90pts WA

2019  NSG Aux Saints-Juliens

NSG Aux Saints-Juliens ---- "Aromas of raspberries, plums, raw cocoa, exotic spices and loamy soil introduce Julien's 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Saints-Juliens, a medium to full-bodied, lively wine that's a touch more concentrated and tightly wound than Julien's blended communal Nuits-Saint-Georges. It will reward a modicum of bottle age." - 90+pts WA

2019  NSG 1er Cru Les Bousselots

NSG 1er Cru Les Bousselots ---- "The old-vine 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots is very promising, mingling aromas of cherries, cassis and sweet berry fruit with hints of cinnamon, dark chocolate and truffle. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's seamless and elegant, with succulent acids and a broad, expansive finish." - 92pts WA

2019  Echezeaux Grand Cru

Echezeaux Grand Cru ---- "Etienne Julien's 2019 Echezeaux Grand Cru is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with notes of cherries, plums, woodsmoke, exotic spices, espresso roast and forest floor. Full-bodied, layered and complete, it's ample and textural, with fine concentration, velvety tannins and lively acids. This is a flamboyant but controlled Echézeaux that's well worth seeking out." - 94+pts WA

2019  Gevrey-Chambertin

"I was surprised when Loïc Dugat-Py opted to present his 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle after the domaine's Lavaux Saint-Jacques; but when I tasted the wine, I immediately understood his decision. Offering up an incipiently complex bouquet of wild berries, raspberries, blood orange and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, built around velvety tannins and lively acids. Standing out for its completeness, energy and length, this is the finest Petite Chapelle I've ever tasted from the domaine, and I can't wait to revisit it in bottle." - 93-95+ William Kelley, Wine Advocate

2019  Vieilles Vignes

20+-year-old vines with a small percentage of fruit from very old vines. ---- Blend of 1/3 Mazoyères and 2/3 Charmes-Chambertin ---- 1800 to 2400 bottles produced. ---- 60% whole cluster. ---- "A markedly floral nose is quite pretty with its array of earth, liqueur-like dark berries and lovely spice wisps. There is again outstanding volume to the beautifully textured large-scaled flavors that exude a bracing salinity on the sneaky long and well-balanced if overtly austere finale that displays absolutely stunning length. Here too plenty of patience will be required." - 96pts Burghound ---- "Aromas of orange rind, red cherries, plums, licorice, spices and peonies introduce the 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, a full-bodied, ample and layered wine that's deep and concentrated, with a generous core of fruit, melting tannins and a long, rose-inflected finish. As ever, this is the domaine's most immediate, sensual grand cru." - 95pts WA

2019  Tres Vieilles Vignes

Tres Vieilles Vignes ---- "There are four barrels of the 2019 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes, derived as usual from holdings in Les Quartiers de Nuits - from the part of the lieu-dit that is not included within the boundaries of the Echézeaux Grand Cru - and contiguous Les Violettes. Mingling notes of wild berries and raspberries with exotic top notes of mandarin rind, Asian spices and peonies, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit complemented by complexifying carnal nuances." - 91-93pts William Kelley, Wine Advocate ---- "A wonderfully fresh nose combines notes of plum, exotic tea and lovely spice nuances. The suave and sophisticated medium weight flavors possess a caressing palate impression before concluding in a beautifully complex and focused finale that is decidedly firm but not really austere. This is an excellent Vosne villages and worth your interest." - 90-92/Outstanding Top Value, Burghound
