Tasting at domaine. Black fruit throughout with some gamy hints. Rich start, more rugged finish. better to cellar a few years, 86-87 point potential.

Tasting at the domaine. Also mostly black fruit here with some meaty notes. Also firmly tannic, but seemingly layered with elegant hints already starting to emerge. Will reward some cellar time, 89-90 point potential, 2025 forward.

Tasting at the domaine. Much more red than black fruit with baking spice and faint meaty hints. Ripe and bold, but more layered than NSG just tasted. Will drink well young, 89-91 point potential.

Tasting at the domaine. Bright red berry and cherry throughout, clearly ripe but balanced with good weight. Asian five spice hints add some extra character, with bright textures on medium finish that should expand with time, 90-91 point potential.

Tasted at the domaine. Low yields led to a combination of two 1er Crus that Jean-Nicolas said simply worked better together - Terre Blanches (in Premeaux) and Perrieres. The Premeaux character brings an approachability here that is charming, with enough tannic structure in the background. Bright, yet dense, 90-91 point potential.

Tasting at the domaine. More red than black fruit throughout, particularly on the nose which seems bright and spiced (very Vosne-like). The palate is more structured and brooding right now, particularly in the middle. Good for its level.

Tasting at the domaine. Red cherry and berry throughout with good enough weight, highlighted by super bright textures and an expanding finish. Very good potential with cellar time, 91-93 points. Méo-Camuzet added another small plot to the wine this year, coming from the adjacent Grands Murs 1er cru, which apparently can be called Feusselottes.

Tasting at the domaine. First time trying this from any vintage. Fun and ripe, not particularly "Gevrey" to me, but well balanced. Probably a good younger drinking Grand Cru. 90-91 point potential.

Tasting at the domaine. Bright red cherry and berry is nicely spiced. Sneaky power with very good length. Very balanced already. Impressive 92-93 point potential, 2028 forward.

Tasting at the domaine. A step up from the wonderful Clos Vougeot for me. Glorious and alluring aromatic start already with sweet spice, black cherry, and faint meatiness. Dense on the palate, firm on the middle, very long finish. Cellar to 2030 or later., 93+ points.

Tasting at the domaine. Lots of bright red fruit throughout, seemingly approachable but with sneaky structure that stands out at the finish. Lots here, less clear how big and nuanced this will be, 90-93 point potential.

Tasting at the domaine. A real treat. Sensational in almost every way. Bright red fruit with spice that come together in a package that is unmistakably Vosne. Brilliant textures. A great wine in the making.

Tasting at the domaine. Bigger, fleshier, and more powerful than the brilliant Cros P, this might not be quite as perfectly harmonious right now, but might almost get there with cellar time. Also impressive 94-96 point potential.

Tasting at the domaine. Surprisingly fleshy for Aligoté, while bright and tense on finish. A very got Aligoté. Good now.

Tasting at the domaine. Lemon and apple comes across as very bright with excellent weight and length for its level.

Tasting at the domaine. Floral and orchard fruit aromas. Starts with green apple and lemon flavors, ending with riper fruit on a long finish. Not yet fully harmonious, this wants several more years in the cellar, which is consistent with I found with the several bottles I have opened from 2017 vintage.

Tasting at the domaine. A hugely successful Village level wine. Leaner styled than I expect from a very ripe vintage, this has such bright flavors with dancing textures. Very good now.

Tasting at the domaine. Very rich apple and pear with so much energy. Long, precise, lingering finish. Excellent village wine.

Tasting at the domaine. Reductive today, so impossible to fairly assess in the limited time of this stand-around tasting.

Tasting at the domaine. From three distinct plots. Fat start, brighter finish with good+ weight, good length and intensity. Should also drink well young, 2023 forward.

Tasted at the domaine. Floral, apple and lemon on nose. Powerful throughout, this consistently seemed austere given 2019 weather, coming across as so bright and energetic into its very long, tense finish. Thrilled by the lingering finish, 92-93 point potential.

Tasting at the domaine. A step up over the great Vergers, this is also floral with slightly riper fruit but equally energetic. Long finish particularly showcases more lemon and lemon curd. Still coming together, this has 92-94 point potential, better 2025 forward.

Tasting at the domaine. A true powerhouse with incredible balance. Ripe apple and pear throughout is intense with sneaky length and seamless textures. Great already, with further upside. So exciting.

Tasting at the domaine. Slightly reductive start, which delayed the emergence of its floral charm. Richness came through clearly, with engaging brightness. Long, lean finish. Lots here, 93-94 point potential.

Tasting at the domaine. Bigger yet vs Bienvenues, but seemingly more integrated already now. So much ripe apple with some pear to start, then leaner and brighter middle-to-finish. So much here, yet with so much in reserve. This will be great young, but even better in a decade, 94-95 point potential.

Tasting at the domaine. Apple, pear, baked apple, allspice and mint with so much more, seemingly both sweet and tart. Ripe with balance from start-to-middle, then structured and highly energetic middle-to-finish. Long, lingering finish. One of the best wines I have tasted this year.

Tasted at the domaine. Ripe red fruit with a bit of candy, but also slightly awkward in the middle. Better to cellar a few years longer.

Tasted at the domaine. On the jammy side for Ramonet, but that might be 2019 coming through. Certainly fun when young, but there might be intriguing aging potential here.
