France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. So much bright red fruit on nose, somehow managing to seem lean while ripe. Wonderfully spiced with both sweet and savory elements. Very long textured finish. 40% whole cluster.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. All red cherry, subtle spices, bright throughout with good length. Firm middle will need a few years in the cellar, better from 2028. From near Petit Musigny.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. More weight than Echezeaux, less near-term fun. Red and black cherry with savory spice, faint roasted meat, bits of earth. Very good length. Patience required. very good 92-93 point potential.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Cross-section of red fruits with savory spice, earth, mint, and lots more for such a young wine. Wonderful balance, good length. Still slightly firm in the middle for now, better 2026 forward.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Highly spiced, wonderfully finessed, bright and elegant already. Not a powerhouse, but certainly a charmer. Better from 2030.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. All destemmed. Bright red cherry with so much already complex going on. Simultaneously dense and finessed. Faintly firm from middle forward, better from 2030, exciting 93-95 point potential.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Not bottled yet. A rich vintage of this wine showing lots of vintage richness but also so much power, perhaps less finesse than typical. Very tasty already.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Not yet bottled. Certainly more concentration than the village wine, same charming fruit profile, more firm. 90-91 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. So much red fruits with faintly savory spice and very good depth. This comes across as more classically Méo to me, with slightly less ripeness than the first two wines, and really relying on its charm and finesse. Hold to 2030 forward, 92-93 points. Not yet bottled.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Bottled earlier this week. Also reductive, but here the significant volume made itself known, and I eagerly look forward to trying it on a visit later this year.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. This will be bottled in two weeks. Pure red fruit with a great spice intensity. Alluring aromas and flavors with lots of charm and finesse. 94-95 point potential here.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Bright red fruit are very pure and focused, well spiced. Good enough weight, very good length. Will drink well young.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Alluring spice with floral notes in front of very bright red cherry and berry. Great length for its level, this is well balanced now, and will drink well young.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Big and bold with plenty of ripe black and red cherry with berry notes. Plenty of structure in the near background, so this should reach a good of balance in its youth. Very finessed already, 92-93 point potential, from 2028 forward.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. The "classic" cuvee was very good, but this cuvee might be great. Complex array of black and red berries are ripe and powerful with an intense braised meat spice profile that demands attention. Balanced in some ways, while clearly still coiled up. Great 95-96 point potential, but patience required, probably best from 2032 forward.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Rich and fleshy , this is powerful and lush with enticing spiced aromas. Good+ balance already. Exactly what I expect from Liger-Belair at his best at this level.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. This is an exhilarating wine, so bright and elegant despite obvious lush ripeness. More clear structural support than either of the two fine Village wines just tasted, this might well be better than the great Echezeaux tasted next.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Perfumed aromatics with bright red berries that come across as wonderfully ripe, yet refined. Very good density with supporting background structure helping maintain balance. Very long finish. I hope to get to taste this great again when it is really strutting its stuff, most likely from 2029 forward.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Complex array of red fruits here, ultra bright and elegant for this ripe vintage with so much finesse, ending with sneaky good length. A wonderful success.
Walkaround tasting with producers. A big step up in volume and nuance already. Red cherry start-to-finish with an amazingly sophisticated feel for a Village wine.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Slightly reductive right now. Lots of spice, some from the 20% whole bunch., some from the terroir itself, but a great combination. Bright and firm with finesse throughout with a long-ish finish.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Power and finesse come together in amazing symmetry. Complex combination of red fruits are ripe with exciting textures through its very long finish. As usual, the wonderful Echezeaux is exceeded here by this magical Clos Vougeot, 95-96 point potential.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Bottled in December. Big red and black cherry gives robust aromas and flavors with classically savory Asian five spice. This seems slightly drying right now and will need time for a Village wine, but I like its 89-90 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Bottled in December. Also very bright and red fruited, whole cluster will take some time to harmonize, but I like the volume here. Also slightly drying for now.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Bigger than the other Vosnes with more subtle and balancing spice. Bright red with wonderful textures. Very good length.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. More complex fruit plate coming through here with plenty of red and black fruits, spiced, floral, and nuanced already, even if they aren't working together at this moment. An understated Grand Cru, there is a lot here that can come together into something special, but it's not completely clear wine right now, 91-94 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. In tank. Rich red and black cherry with good depth. Tasty in its youth, 91-92 point potential depending on how much weight this puts on.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Opulent red and black cherry, lots of fleshy and ripe fruit, faint finesse seems lurking in the far background. Good length.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. A complex assortment of red fruit with so much more - licorice, undergrowth, roasted meat, clove, and more. Great density and volume.. A big step up from the "regular" cuvee.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Assembled in tank. 100% destemmed. Pretty and ripe red fruits are fresh and elegant with modest spice hints. Good+ weight.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Still in barrel. 40% whole cluster. Massive, big, and powerful, but so brooding and completely inaccessible right now. Lots here but impossible for me to assess or project anything.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Forward and ripe red cherry and berry that seems slightly more one-dimensional than most of the other Echezeaux wines tasted today, yet certainly showing Grand Cru density.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. The yum factor is high here, lots of ripe red cherry and berry, faintly spice, very enticing with subtle nuance coming through this young. Good+ length.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Destemmed. Floral indeed with pretty and bright strawberries. Elegant and on the lighter, accessible side, good from as early as 2026. Good+ length.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. More complex array of red fruit aromas and flavors here, again with a lighter style that shows good enough volume for its level. Not a powerhouse but with good+ length.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Elegant and charming red fruits are wonderfully bright, well spiced with good enough density, better volume. Much more charming than powerful.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Red cherry with beef cooked rare. More firm than others in the lineup, this isn't powerful per se, but also not in the elegant fashion of those others.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Interesting combo here - ultra ripe black and red fruits with some cassis, followed by Good & Plenty sweet licorice. Fun young. Good+ weight.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. 30% whole cluster. Lots of black and red cherry throughout, clearly on the firm side for now through the next few years. Plenty interesting here.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. 30% whole cluster using scissors to remove the main stems. Complex red fruits with an equally complex spicebox. This is very firm and nearly brooding now for such a ripe wine, but that just bodes well for its potential. Great 94-95 point potential, but most likely not until 2037 forward.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Cross-section of cherries here with subtle spice and floral note. Nicely harmonious, good+ weight, borderline Grand Cru density. Wonderful to drink as early as 2027, but this will hold well, too.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Whole cluster. Fun and ripe black and red cherry, softly spiced. Terroir where I expect slightly more interesting textures, but good enough.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. I think this is the correct cuvee we tasted, but am not 100% certain. 50% whole cluster, domaine vineyard. Well spiced red cherry, this is bright and smooth. Near Grand Cru density to me, but finishing with sneaky good length.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Big with a cross-section of cherry flavors and aromas, impressive Grand Cru density, while backward for now. Lots of substance. Patience required. Domaine vines.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Purchased wine. Stark contrast to the Echezeaux. Rich red and black cherry, so well balanced and accessible already now. Elegant and refined despite the obvious ripeness. Good+ weight.
Walkaround tasting with producers. So floral, pretty, and charming with red cherry galore supported with hints of black cherry and berry. Subtle spice, just enough tannin, this is a wonderful, well balanced, and impressive Village vosne.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Similar aroma and flavors profile to the Vosne, but less accessible and less charm, albeit with more structure and power. Needs a few years.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Black cherry and so much more, this is so well spiced, and nearly balanced already, but certainly not as forthcoming as it will be in another few years. This will be a real charmer, 92-93 point potential from 2030 forward.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Perfumed cross-section of red fruits, layered with intense spice. This is big and bold, certainly ripe, but so well supported with enough structure. Charming already, 94-96 point potential. I think this is the finest Georges Noellat wine I have ever tasted (not from 1959).
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Black and red cherry aromas and flavors with nice balance already and good_ weight, but not much nuance is coming through yet.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. More black than red cherry, this is nicely balanced with enough spice to make it clearly Vosney with good energy, too.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Faintly meaty with red cherry, some black cherry. Rich, powerful, and dense with some clear backwardness for now. Better from 2034.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Dense red fruits from start-to-finish. Lots here that I would say make it a rich, fun, and wonderful Pinot Noir, even if not classically Vosne Grand Cru.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Enticing red fruits throughout, wonderful balance already even with clear ripeness. So charming now. Sneaky good length.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Well spiced and floral with plump, ripe cherry. Dense and long, this needs a few years for everything to harmonize, but this might be Anne's best vintage of this vineyard.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Not quite as complete as the Echezeaux. Alluring aromas, big density, just less harmonious composition. First vintage Anne made this wine, which was previously part of the Gros Freres portfolio, but was actually part of Anne's inheritance.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Full and complex, already layered with spiced red and black berries with plenty of silky tannins. Very charming and dense at the same time. Great potential, but this needs a decade in the cellar.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. This is already sensational with opulent black and blue berries throughout, so thoroughly spiced with great depth, even if firm for now in the middle. Give this a decade in the cellar as well, 95-96 point potential.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Lighter style for this vintage, this has ripe and tart red and black cherry throughout. Good+ weight and length. Seemed slightly less forthcoming vs when tasted a few days ago.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Well spiced and vibrant red cherry aromas, then slightly less alluring flavors, which seem a little awkward right now. But still, good power from middle-to-finish and good length.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Perfumed start with so much going on. we see both red and black fruit that are wonderfully ripe with intense concentration. Firm now in the middle, but the finish seems to go on and on into an alluring finish. Give this a decade+ in the cellar.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. So much red cherry and berry throughout with a huge spicebox that at partly derives from its significant (50%?) whole cluster inclusion. Give this at least 6 years to soften.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Plenty of red fruits here too, this is bigger and richer than Clos Vougeot with the same brightness. Seemed slightly more complete today vs a few days, even with the identical profile.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Old school style with wonderfully pure black and red fruits with great density for its level. Lots here, but patience required.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Even more old school in the best possible way, showing pure fruits with lots of power. Faintly meaty and spiced with so much red and black fruits coming across as powerful with elegant tannins. From 2035-.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Sturdy without being overstructured, the stars are the bright red fruits and savory spice. Great density and power, great length. Seemingly more accessible than Petit Monts, but this still needs plenty of cellar time.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. From 3L. Still firm and nearly awkward, there is very rich black and red fruit that still is not fully harmonious. This shows both very old school style and 2005 character, and not necessarily in the good ways those intersect.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Bright red, elegant balance, subtly spiced with a persistent finish. 89-90 point potential, depending on how weight is picked up.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Really exceptional performance this year. Complex array of red fruits starting out as bright, floral and well spiced. Some darker fruit emerge near its long finish adding further nuance.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. All red fruits here with faint spice. Bigger than Beaux Monts but less expressive or complex. Elegant textures, but faintly backward. Perhaps more will unfold, 92-93 point potential, from 2030.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Elegant red fruits with floral charm and lithe, bright textures ending with a charming Asian five spice note. Good length. Lighter than expected, this is nicely charming even if not yet showing its Grand Cru pedigree. 91-93 point potential.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Bright strawberry throughout, faintly spiced, good weight, very good length for its level, elegant finish. Drink from 2026.
Walkaround tasting with producers. A further step up in weight and complexity. Strawberry, raspberry, savory spices in a lithe, ethereal package. Very good length for Village wine. 90-91 point potential based on if it picks up weight.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Ripe red fruit is front-and-center with good+ weight, good enough textures. I preferred the brighter Combe Brûlée just tasted.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Red and black fruits that start of ripe and rich on nose, while brighter on palate. Good density and power, seemingly coiled today with plenty of upside, 90-93 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Rich throughout with sweet spice as well. Whole cluster protrudes for now. Powerful and hedonistic for Vosne for now, very tasty and fun even if not that elegant.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. I found this tough to assess with so many features seeming to stand on their own - very ripe red fruits, new oak, whole cluster, firm tannins - with less harmony. Everything here is very good, and this is likely to be a great wine once these components reach some greater form of synthesis.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Slightly disjointed, but not nearly to the degree for Echezeaux. Enticing aromas are well spiced with plenty of complex mostly black fruits. Structure is firm but remains in the near background. This too needs cellar time, but has very good 91-94 point potential based on how well it harmonizes.
2022 Domaine R. DuBois & Fils Vosne-Romanée Les Chalandins
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée

More complex fruit plate coming through here with plenty of red and black fruits, spiced, floral, and nuanced already, even if they aren't working together at this moment. An understated Grand Cru, there is a lot here that can come together into something special, but it's not completely clear wine right now, 91-94 point potential.

Walkaround tasting with producers. Opulent red and black cherry, lots of fleshy and ripe fruit, faint finesse seems lurking in the far background. Good length.

2022 Gérard Raphet Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. A complex assortment of red fruit with so much more - licorice, undergrowth, roasted meat, clove, and more. Great density and volume.. A big step up from the "regular" cuvee.

2022 Domaine Jacques Prieur Clos Vougeot
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Still in barrel. 40% whole cluster. Massive, big, and powerful, but so brooding and completely inaccessible right now. Lots here but impossible for me to assess or project anything.

2022 Mongeard-Mugneret Echezeaux 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Forward and ripe red cherry and berry that seems slightly more one-dimensional than most of the other Echezeaux wines tasted today, yet certainly showing Grand Cru density.

2022 Thibault Liger-Belair Richebourg
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. 30% whole cluster using scissors to remove the main stems. Complex red fruits with an equally complex spicebox. This is very firm and nearly brooding now for such a ripe wine, but that just bodes well for its potential. Great 94-95 point potential, but most likely not until 2037 forward.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

2022 Domaine Laurent Pere et Fils Clos Vougeot La Plante L'Abbe Vieilles Vignes "Sui generis" 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. I think this is the correct cuvee we tasted, but am not 100% certain. 50% whole cluster, domaine vineyard. Well spiced red cherry, this is bright and smooth. Near Grand Cru density to me, but finishing with sneaky good length.

2022 Georges Noellat Vosne-Romanée 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée
Walkaround tasting with producers. So floral, pretty, and charming with red cherry galore supported with hints of black cherry and berry. Subtle spice, just enough tannin, this is a wonderful, well balanced, and impressive Village vosne.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Black cherry and so much more, this is so well spiced, and nearly balanced already, but certainly not as forthcoming as it will be in another few years. This will be a real charmer, 92-93 point potential from 2030 forward.

2022 Georges Noellat Grands-Echezeaux 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Perfumed cross-section of red fruits, layered with intense spice. This is big and bold, certainly ripe, but so well supported with enough structure. Charming already, 94-96 point potential. I think this is the finest Georges Noellat wine I have ever tasted (not from 1959).

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru

Walkaround tasting with producers. From 3L. Still firm and nearly awkward, there is very rich black and red fruit that still is not fully harmonious. This shows both very old school style and 2005 character, and not necessarily in the good ways those intersect.

2022 Domaine d'Eugénie Echezeaux
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. I found this tough to assess with so many features seeming to stand on their own - very ripe red fruits, new oak, whole cluster, firm tannins - with less harmony. Everything here is very good, and this is likely to be a great wine once these components reach some greater form of synthesis.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Slightly disjointed, but not nearly to the degree for Echezeaux. Enticing aromas are well spiced with plenty of complex mostly black fruits. Structure is firm but remains in the near background. This too needs cellar time, but has very good 91-94 point potential based on how well it harmonizes.
