(96-98 points) Fine bright purple. A beautifully harmonious bouquet and absolutely no sign of the whole bunches here, unlike Cazetiers. Perfectly structured, I put this well ahead of its neighbour, Cazetiers, in 2020. I...

Offering up aromas of cherries, sweet berries, petals, vine smoke and spices, the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless, its fleshy core of fruit underpinned by sweet tannins...

Additional élevage has brought a further degree of elegance to the 2020 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru that I didn't perceive last year. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, incense, licorice, forest floor and...

A massive wine with black fruit and an imposing structure, plenty of depth, and impressive persistence on the palate. Although this is muscular, it is perfectly balanced. The Mazoyères from Dugat-Py is unlike any other...

Lush, forward black cherry fruit and hints of rose petals. On the palate, there is a sucrosity typical of Charmes and less alcohol than in 2019. Despite its approachable nature, this is not lacking in structure and should...

There is just enough wood to merit mentioning framing the ripe and spicy nose of cassis, wild dark berries, plum, humus and a whiff of the sauvage. The supple, round and delicious slightly bigger-bodied flavors possess...

Subtle but perceptible wood influence can be found on the spicier still and more elegant aromas of purple fruit, truffle and pretty floral wisps. There is excellent verve to the intense, and intensely stony, flavors that...

(93-96 points) In the Mazoyères section. Generous deep, exuberant purple. Heady deep raspberry notes, flamboyant and enticing, peonies too. Very Charmes in its upfront energy but with a bit of Mazoyères minerality behind...

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur Bas is lovely, bursting with aromas of raspberries, sweet spices, licorice and petals, framed by creamy oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's supple and seamless, with...

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Fontenys wafts from the glass with aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate, sweet spices, licorice and violets. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's vibrant and seamless...

An impressive Gevrey-Chambertain that has so much fruity charm and the gentle tannins underline this very nicely. Thankfully, no attempt was made to make some kind of bold statement. Quite dry finish, but this helps to...

90+ The 2020 Gevrey villages from Philippe Harmand is really strong this year. The wine delivers a vibrant aromatic constellation of sappy black cherries and dark berries, grilled meats, dark chocolate, woodsmoke, a fine...

Philippe Harmand’s 2020 Champeaux is another excellent wine in the making. The bouquet delivers a fine range of black cherries, sweet dark berries, a nice touch of meatiness, a beautifully complex base of soil, bitter...

91+ The 2020 Clos Prieur from the Harmands is outstanding in this vintage, with none of the ripeness issues that define the en Jouise at the present time. The very precise and beautifully measured nose delivers a...

The 2020 Lavaux St. Jacques from Domaine Harmand is a stunning young wine. It delivers a glorious aromatic constellation of black cherries, cassis, grilled meats, complex black minerality, a hint of mustard seed, raw...

The 2020 en Jouise bottling chez Harmand is a bit riper in personality than the straight Gevrey AC, and not quite as elegant as a result. The black fruity and sappy nose jumps from the glass in a mix of black cherries...

The Domaine Harmand 2020 Vieilles Vignes bottling is another excellent young Gevrey in the making. The bouquet here is nicely ripe (but not overripe), bright and focused, as it offers up scents of cassis, black cherries...

The 2020 la Perrière is excellent chez Harmand and shows off the perfect ripeness that Philippe was able to attain in each and every one of his premier crus this year. The nose is deep, sappy and nascently complex...

The 2020 Mazis-Chambertin from Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy is another simply great bottle in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure, precise and sappy, wafting from the glass in a mix of cassis, sweet blackberries, espresso...

Quite a fragrant wine for this appellation, which majors in earthy power. Bold sour-cherry and blackberry fruit on the rather generous palate, a well crafted, solid base of tannins underling all the fruit. The two sides...

What a crazy nose, but in the best sense! Mulberry and blood orange – what a combination! Huge concentration and huge freshness, with zestiness that's really uplifting. And in combination with the great minerality that...
