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

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

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

2018  Nuits-St-Georges Aux St. Juliens

Nuits-St-Georges Aux St. Juliens ----"A pretty and more elegant nose reveals notes of both red and dark currant that are suffused with soft spice and floral nuances. There is slightly better concentration to the caressing middle weight flavors where a hint of minerality arises on the solidly complex, lingering and youthfully austere finale. This mouth coating effort is sufficiently firm that it will need at least a few years to unwind. Outstanding." - BH
