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

2019  Cote de Nuits 'Armand'

Cote de Nuits 'Armand' ---- "Aromas of cherries, raspberries and plums, complemented by hints of sweet spices and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy, it's generous but balanced, with a seamless, gourmand profile." - WK

2016  Cote de Nuits Villages

"Light to mid bricky red. Fragrant and inviting, sweet and spicy, just starting to show tertiary aromas of undergrowth but still mostly fruit-rich. There's a fruit sweetness on the palate too, smooth tannins, light spice. Smooth yet gently chewy. Straightforward, correct." - Julia Harding, MW

2019  Cote de Nuits Villages

Cote de Nuits Villages ---- "The 2019 Côte de Nuits-Villages offers up aromas of cherries, raspberries and plums, complemented by hints of sweet spices and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy, it's generous but balanced, with a seamless, gourmand profile." - 90pts William Kelley, 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

2013  Echezeaux Grand Cru

Echezeaux Grand Cru

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

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

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
