Pinot Noir

Burgundy | Côte de Nuits

Release Date: Jan 29, 2026Sugar Content: 2 gp/l

All the usual suspects make up this wine. 35% whole bunch, 20% new wood, still in barrel. An elegant crimson ruby. The bouquet is light but fine, cherry and alpine strawberry, more density of course than the Bourgogne, very unforced. Not the most intense Gevrey of the vintage, but a fine one. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted Dec 2023. Score - 90-92. (Jasper Morris, MW, insideburgundy.com, Jan. 2024)

Once again firm reduction masks everything except a discreet floral element. The delicious, rich and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors possess a generous mouthfeel while exhibiting excellent length on the lightly stony, youthfully austere and sneaky long finale. Lovely though note that it's clearly built-to-age. Drink: 2034+. Score - 91-93. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, Jan. 10, 2024)

Bottled in September. An attractive pale lemon yellow, with a racy and lightly reductive nose. Perfectly balanced, light on its stony feet, a little citrus wash, and good persistence. A fine example. Drink from 2026-2031. Tasted Dec 2023. Score - 90-92. (Jasper Morris, MW, insideburgundy.com, Jan. 2024)

From both sides of the village, all destemmed, still in barrel, 20% new wood. Dark in colour with a suggestion of reduction on the nose. An even medium deep fruit on the palate, dark raspberry, quite elegant even, and certainly a clean finish. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Dec 2023. Score - 90-91.

Pinot Noir

Burgundy | Côte de Nuits

Release Date: Jan 29, 2026

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has an almost clinical bouquet, citrus fresh with commendable purity. Fully de-stemming this was a good decision as it already has sufficient spice. The palate is medium-bodied with a bit of chocolaty oak sticking out. Hopefully, that will be assimilated with time - I will be cautious at the moment, but it should mature well in bottle. Drinking window: 2026-2046. Score - 91-93.

Marsanne

Rhône | Northern Rhône

Release Date: Jan 29, 2026

Coming from the Les Murets lieu-dit and 100-year-old vines, with 20% from L'Ermite, the 2022 Ermitage Ex-Voto Blanc is a heavenly white offering quince, candle wax, crushed stone, and orange blossom-like aromatics. Based on 95% Marsanne and 5% Roussanne and aged 24 months in new French oak, it shows incredible depth and purity, with full-bodied richness and a focused, balanced style. This monumental Hermitage needs a year or two and should have decades of longevity. Hermitage Blanc doesn't get any better! Drink 2025-2045. Score - 100. (jebdunnuck.com, May 9, 2025)

This shows intense power, yet it's channeled and restrained and combines structure and layering with a subtle touch to the complex aromas that include dark berries, dark plums, cocoa, bark, earth, smoke and baking spices. It's full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Driven and textural with a long, focused finish. Drink from 2030. Score - 98. (jamessuckling.com, April 14, 2025)

The 2021 Côte-Rôtie La Turque is highly representative of its terroir despite the challenges of the vintage. Unfurling with aromas of dark fruits, spices, cinnamon, iris and blackberries, it is full-bodied, concentrated and firmly structured, with a deep core of fruit framed by powdery tannins, concluding with a mocha-inflected finish. While it may lack the sheer opulence of sunnier years, it retains impressive depth and authority, and its terroir expression should become even more articulate with time in the cellar. Drink date: 2031-2046. Score - 96. (Yohan Castaing, robertparker.com, Nov. 20, 2025)

A fine-tuned, precise and layered La Mouline with aromas of red berries, warm herbs, dried spices and leather. A hint of fire pit, too. It's medium-bodied with ultra fine tannins. Pleasant harmony here, with a polished structure that drives the fruit and a lift of sweet spices and raw cocoa in the long finish. Drink or hold. Score - 97. (jamessuckling.com, April 14, 2025)

20% whole bunch vinification, 35% new wood. A rich dense purple. Significant density, with a weight of almost tarry dense fruit, there is a great deal happening in the middle of the palate and it continues all the way through. An excellent result from this terroir. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Dec 2023. Score - 91-94. (Jasper Morris, MW, insideburgundy.com, Jan. 2024)

Pinot Noir

Burgundy | Côte de Nuits

Release Date: Jan 29, 2026

The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges La Petite Charmotte, which winemaker Mark Fincham feels is a little underrated, has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with iris flowers infusing the red fruit, hints of Earl Grey emerging with time. It certainly has more complexity than the Village Cru. The palate is wellbalanced, the 20% whole bunches imparting a subtle pepperiness, very detailed towards the finish with admirable mineralité on the finish. Highly recommended. Drinking window: 2026-2040. Score - 91-93. (Neal Martin, vinous.com, Jan. 11, 2024)

Intense and packed with black cherry, black currant, blackberry and violet aromas and flavors for the get-go, this stellar red is also laced with iron, black pepper, eucalyptus and tar elements. Brooding and solidly built, yet with a sense of finesse, this is balanced and the finish just seems ot go on and on. Best from 2030 through 2053. Score - 99.
