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

2022  

"Half new wood and 40% whole bunch. Bright ruby purple. Little bouquet as yet, and the samples are cold. At the moment the density of the wine shows more than the subtlety, though I think that the detail is certainly there. More in red fruit than black. This may just be at too early a stage and there could be further upside to the Echezeaux. Drink from 2032-2038. Tasted: November 2023." - 92-95pts Jasper Morris MW

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

2021  NSG 1er Cru Bousselots

NSG 1er Cru Bousselots ---- "Slightly more prominent wood surrounds the spicy aromas of red and blue pinot fruit that are cut with evident earth and forest floor nuances. There is excellent mid-palate density to the bigger-bodied and powerful flavors that conclude in a firm, serious and sneaky long finale that is not especially austere. As is virtually always true with Bousselots, this is definitely going to need at least moderate patience." - 91-93/Outstanding Top Value, Burghound

2022  Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru

"0.7 ha (1.7 acres). 100% destemmed, 70% new oak. Cask sample. Dark ruby. Ripe black raspberry and cassis. Syrupy raspberry and red and black cherry on the palate. Silky texture and lovely discreet tannins. The whole refreshed by juicy acidity and a rich, ripe finish. Lovely and quite joyous." 16.5/20 Jancis

2022  Cote de Nuits Villages

"50-year-old vines planted in 1972. First vintage as a single cuvée in 2021. 30% whole bunch, 40% new oak. Cask sample. Mid ruby. A touch closed on the nose. Sweet compact fruit and all very balanced. Lovely, sweet but refined tannins enveloping evidently rich, rounded fruits on the palate. Charming and just veering towards hedonistic." - 16.5/20 Jancis
