2022  Les Creusottes

Les Creusottes ---- "A discreet application of wood can be found on the fresh, spicy and green apple-inflected nose. There is good energy to the delicious and attractively textured, though not especially dense, middleweight flavors that deliver acceptable length on the clean and dry if somewhat simple finish. To enjoy upon release." - Burghound

2019  Aloxe-Corton Les Valozieres

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

2022  Cote de Nuits Villages

"From three sites of vines purchased in 1930: Les Plantes du Bois, La Dominode and La Julbigne. Average vine age >70 years. 30% whole clusters, 40% new oak. Cask sample. Mid ruby. Wild strawberry and forest fruits, and just a touch denser than Les Esssards. Richness on the palate and fine tannins to fill out the back palate. Good wine, really inviting and endearing." - 16.5/20 Jancis

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

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

2022  Nuits-St-Georges

"Airy and overtly floral-suffused aromas of spiced red cherry are surrounded by more subtle oak influence. The sleek, supple and rounded middleweight flavors possess a more sophisticated mouthfeel that carries over to the graceful if youthfully austere finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose resurfaces. There is very good richness and volume and overall, this is also a very fine Nuits villages that should age gracefully." - "Top Value", Burghound

2021  NSG Aux St. Juliens

NSG Aux St. Juliens ---- "Here too a discreet application of wood can be found on the earthy and spicy aromas of plum, red cherry and violet. The supple and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors possess a seductive mid-palate that also contrasts somewhat with the mildly rustic and robust finale that displays excellent length. This is also a very good Nuits villages and worth your interest." - 89-92/Outstanding Top Value, Burghound
