Armand Heitz Meursault 2019, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Meursault, Burgundy

"We shouldn’t think that blending different terroirs is an oenological party. At the estate, when certain cuvées prove to be more interesting blended, we think it is appropriate to do so. Some terroirs are sometimes a little too rich and others a little too refined. This is also working with nature. During my oenology studies, a doctor of oenology maintained that you need a maximum of homogeneity to make a great wine. I told him no. To make a wine close to nature, you need ripe grapes, some less ripe and some too ripe. I got a bad mark in the next test, but today I make terroir wines, while he makes homogeneous and standard wines for the supermarkets." Producer Notes

Bouchard Beaune du Chateau 1er Cru Rouge 2019, 0.375L
Pinot Noir from Beaune, Burgundy

"An excellent introduction to the red wines of Beaune, this has full red-fruit and earthy character with hints of spicy oak and licorice. A crowd-pleasing balance of generosity and moderately dry tannins on the palate with good length. Should age well." 92 James Suckling

"This is decidedly riper with its aromas of poached plum, mocha, black cherry liqueur and anise. The delicious middle weight flavors possess very good energy and richness while exhibiting fine length on the dusty bitter cherry pit-inflected finale. This mouthcoating effort should be approachable young but age well too over the mid-term." 89-92 Allen Meadows, Burghound

Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanee 2019, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Vosne Romanee, Burgundy

"Ripe aromas of plum, black cherry, violet and sandalwood give way to succulent, round and utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess a suave mouthfeel that contrasts with the serious and youthfully austere finale. A very solid Vosne villages." ​89-91 Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Ponsot Chapelle Chambertin 2019, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Gevrey Chambertin, Burgundy

Opening in the glass with aromas of cherries, strawberries and raspberries mingled with peonies and licorice, Ponsot's 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is full-bodied, layered and velvety, with a broad attack that segues into a deep, concentrated mid-palate framed by ripe tannins and lively acids. This has turned out very well indeed. 95 points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate

Domaine Ponsot Clos de Vougeot Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2019, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Vougeot, Burgundy

"The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is showing brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with aromas of red berries, plums and cassis mingled with warm spices, incense and rich soil tones. Full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular, with a deep core of fruit, ripe and powdery tannins and lively balancing acids, it will reward patience." 94+ points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Jan 2022

Domaine Testut Chablis Les Vaillons 2019, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy

"The 2019 Chablis “Vaillons” from Cyril Testut is a lovely example of this fine vintage, offering up a ripe, minerally-infused and very precise bouquet of pear, tart orange, wet stone minerality, incipient notes of paraffin, straw, a hint of anise and a topnote of citrus peel. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and complex, with a rock solid core of fruit, excellent mineral drive and grip, a fine girdle of acidity and a long, youthful and beautifully balanced finish. This is lovely, but deserves at least a couple of years in the cellar to unlock its secondary layers of complexity. Fine juice." 92 Points John Gilman, View from the Cellar

Domaine de Villaine Rully Blanc 1er Cru "Les Margotes" 2019, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Rully, Burgundy

"Moderately prominent wood can be found on the ripe and very spicy aromas of white fruit confit, orange peel, anise and exotic tea. There is again excellent volume and power to the larger-scaled flavors that brim with sappy dry extract before terminating in a caressing, stylish and complex finale. This intense mineral-driven effort is lovely and a wine that should amply reward mid-term cellaring." ​92 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound

Follin Arbelet Aloxe Corton Clos du Chapitre 2019, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Aloxe Corton, Burgundy

"The 2019 Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Clos du Chapitre opens in the glass with notes of earthy cherries, burning embers, cassis, black truffle and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, deep and elegantly muscular, with a fleshy core of fruit and powdery structuring tannins, this derives from an early-ripening, well-drained site of which Follin is one of only two proprietors." 91-93 William Kelley, Wine Advocate

"Here the fresh and overtly floral-suffused nose offers fruit that is derived more from the red side of the spectrum where additional breadth is present in the form of humus and earth. The finer but not denser flavors possess a lovely underlying tension that contrasts somewhat with the rustic, balanced and very firm finale." 89-91 Allen Meadows, Burghound

Laurent Ponsot Charmes-Chambertin Cuvee du Cypres 2019, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Gevrey Chambertin, Burgundy

"From a parcel located in Charmes, down-slope from Chambertin, this is slightly backwards at present, with a bit of reduction, but behind these aromas there is plenty of sumptuous, bright red berry fruit. The texture is firm and fresh, with the grip and intensity to age well. Although it does not have the intensity or persistence of the Chambertin, it resembles it in its vibrant elegance and balance." 94 points, Decanter Magazine, Oct 2020

"Here the ripe and fresh nose derives more from the red side of the fruit spectrum while adding nuances of cherry liqueur, warm earth and underbrush. There is very good detail and subtle minerality to the dense and relatively muscular big-bodied flavors that deliver fine length on the balanced finale. This very firm effort will need to add depth over time to achieve the upper end of my projected range." 91-93 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan 2021

Lignier Michelot Morey Saint Denis Vieilles Vignes 2019, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Morey St. Denis, Burgundy

"The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes contains 80% whole bunches. It has an opulent bouquet ... of dates and fig filtering through the black fruit but still fresh. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent red berry fruit laced with white pepper and bay leaf, opening up nicely on the finish that cruises along with a sprinkling of white pepper and cumin." ​91-93 Neal Martin, Vinous

"80% whole bunch. From Très Girard, Les Cognées and Chenevery. Rich deep purple with a much more concentrated fruit on the nose, lifted a little by the whole bunches. Plump dark fruit, spicy notes, fills the mouth out, slightly darker fruit than En la Rue de Vergy and will take a little longer." 91-93 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

"From a blend of Très Girard, Les Cognées and Chenevery; 80% whole cluster. This too is quite aromatically pretty with its ripe and fresh array of floral, spice and black currant that is laced with warm earth hints. There is excellent volume to the caressing yet powerful and concentrated medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a robust, serious and youthfully austere finale that offers even better depth and persistence. Excellent and recommended though note well that this is firmly structured for a Morey villages, so patience required." 89-92 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

Louis Chenu Savigny-lès-Beaune "Les Hauts Jarrons" 2019, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Burgundy

"The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Hauts-Jarrons 1er Cru comes from north-northeast- facing vines, whereas the domaine's others are south-facing. The soil is also slightly deeper and sandier here. This has the most floral bouquet, offering more red fruit and mineralité, and the best transparency of Pinoté among Chenu’s 2019s. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Cohesive and structured, leading to a vivid, slightly tart finish. This is a fantastic Savigny that may well end up at the top of my banded score." ​91-93 Neal Marin, Vinous
