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

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

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

2019  Cote de Nuits 'Armand'

Cote de Nuits 'Armand'

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

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

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

2016  Nuits-St-Georges

Nuits-St-Georges ---- "A more deeply pitched nose features notes of plum and earth along with whiffs of wood and the sauvage. There is fine density and intensity to the lightly stony medium weight flavors that conclude in a saline and moderately rustic finale." - BH

2019  Nuits-Saint-Georges

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

2016  NSG Aux Saints-Juliens

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
