2021 Wine

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Quatre Climats is a multi-climat blend mandated due to the frost. It has a well-defined quite minerally nose focused and gaining complexity with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a brisk... Read More

Firm reduction flattens the underlying fruit though there is excellent freshness and verve to the sleek delicious and beautifully delineated flavors that terminate in a chiseled finale that is shaped by citrus-inflected and crunchy... Read More

Offering up notes of peonies rose petals red berries and spices the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes is medium-bodied satiny and perfumed with lively acids and a saline finish.

A brilliant wine that signposts this estate's evolution under Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal the 2021 Angélus is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot with fully half of the old-vine Cabernet Franc maturing in foudres... Read More

An earthier and more somber nose reluctantly displays its aromas of purple fruit especially plum. There is more volume to the rich velvety and solidly concentrated flavors that are more powerful and less refined on the solidly... Read More

A strikingly pure cool and airy nose is comprised by notes of the essence of red pinot fruit floral and discreet forest floor wisps. There is almost painful intensity to the chiseled and overtly stony medium weight flavors that... Read More

In theory this plot does not usually frost but that was not the case in 2021: three barrels instead of 20! Pale lime green. A mix of reductive tension and something a little bit chunkier than usual. This is one of the 2021s with... Read More

A mild touch of reduction blurs the nuances of the very fresh white-fleshed orchard fruit nut and floral scents. There is better size weight and richness to the solidly density and powerful middleweight flavors that are shaped... Read More

Firm reduction. As one would expect there is a more sophisticated mouthfeel to the rich voluminous and equally strikingly textured medium-weight flavors that aren't as powerful but they are notably finer on the bitter lemon-inflected... Read More

There is a forward engageing ripe apple and spice nose on the initial attack of this village Meursault with notes of acacia flowers and butter that open up on the palate. The wine seems to lack the incisive acidity of some of... Read More

Here there is just enough reduction to push the underlying fruit to the background so be sure to give this some air if you're tempted to try a bottle young. The lilting and beautifully textured middleweight flavors flash excellent... Read More
