Jasper Morris: 91-94 Points
Mid crimson purple. Quite a forceful raspberry fruit on the nose. Swells on the palate deeply satisfying and very well balanced just the right oaking. There is still more road to go before the bottling though. Very long finish. Drink from 2026-2032.

Although this took a long time to come around in the 2021 vintage according to Bruno it is at this point a lovely expressive wine. Somewhat on the lighter side with a nose of bright cherry fruit and mineral notes the wine is structured and fresh on the palate with good length. It is produced from the Clair monopole of the Clos de Fonteny just north of Mazis-Chambertin. The fermentation was done with a healthy inclusion of whole clusters and is ageing at present in cask (30% new). (Drink between 2025-2045)
Burghound: 91-93 Points
Once again the nose is cool pure and airy with its aromas of mostly essence of various red berries along with background nuances of earth and pretty floral nuances. There is a beguiling sense of refinement to the borderline delicate flavors that flash good minerality on the moderately austere finale. Blind this could easily pass for a Chambolle 1er. Lovely. (Drink starting 2033)
