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

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

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

2022  Cote de Nuits Villages

"50-year-old vines planted in 1972. First vintage as a single cuvée in 2021. 30% whole bunch, 40% new oak. Cask sample. Mid ruby. A touch closed on the nose. Sweet compact fruit and all very balanced. Lovely, sweet but refined tannins enveloping evidently rich, rounded fruits on the palate. Charming and just veering towards hedonistic." - 16.5/20 Jancis

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  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

2015  Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges

2022  

"From four parcels of vines and a total of 1.4 ha (3.5 acres): Les Chambrées, Les Fleurières, Les Longecourts and Les Charbonnières. All on red, iron-rich clay. 40% whole clusters, 60% new oak. Cask sample. Dark ruby. Slightly inky nose with strawberry and a touch of cassis. A touch of gas from the fermentation, which will soon dissipate, and a quite fizzing acidity. Lots of spice and savoury character. Tannins well integrated." - 16.5/20 Jancis

2022  Bourgogne Rouge

Bourgogne Rouge ---- "A fresh and distinctly earthy dark berry fruit nose is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The succulent and velvet-textured middleweight flavors possess fine concentration while delivering better than average depth and persistence on the balanced finale. A quality Bourgogne." - "Top Value", Burghound
