Average Age of the Vines: 35-40 years old. -- Tasting Notes: Deep purple to the rim, vibrant, with a fresh, lively nose of blackcurrant, juicy, crunchy and fresh.

"70% whole bunch, gently extracted with only one punch down at the very end. Mid purple. Not much nose. Rich deep fruit on the palate, medium bodied with raspberries, easily accessible, then balanced by an attractive touch of acidity. Little pinpricks of fresh raspberry to finish. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted: November 2023." - 4/5 stars Jasper Morris MW

2015  Vosne-Romanee 1er

"Generous but not dominant wood tussles somewhat with the spiced plum liqueur, Asian-style tea and violet-scented nose. There is a wonderfully seductive mouth feel to the rich, velvety and sappy medium weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract and minerality on the lingering finale where the firm tannic spine arrives in a rush. In contrast to the Nuits 1er, this moderately muscular effort is less likely to make for a good early drinker." - Outstanding, Burghound ---- "Intense, yet with finesse and detail, this red is sophisticated, complex and alluring. Cherry and strawberry fruit and mineral and oak spice flavors mingle on an elegant frame, while a subtle yet supportive structure balances the whole. Stays persistent from start to finish. Best from 2022 through 2047. 250 cases made, 55 cases imported." - 95pts WS

"The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers 1er Cru, courtesy of 70-year-old vines, is much more backward on the nose compared to the Noirots, but no less complex with lovely forest floor and wild mushroom scents interpolated amongst the dark fruit. There is something almost autumnal here. The palate is fresh and lightly spiced with a dash of white pepper, cohesive and structured with a very persistent finish. Excellent." - 94pts Vinous

2021  Chambolle-Musigny 1er

"A discreet application of wood sets off attractively layered aromas of plum, earth, floral nuances and subtle spice hints. There is lovely richness and punch to the well-detailed mineral-inflected flavors that possess a mouth coating and mildly austere finish that delivers excellent persistence. This is more powerful if less refined than the Fuées that also offers fine development potential." - Outstanding, Burghound
