The wonderful red-cherry fruit with hints of redcurrant and blackcurrant pulls you into this very expressive wine. For all the ripeness, the really striking thing about this is the great vitality, the way it leaps and...

(90-92 points) Notes of sweet spices, wild berries, licorice, loamy soil and smoke introduce the 2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grand Epenots (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine, with a deep core...

(90-93 points) A perfumed and pretty mix features notes of both red and dark cherry liqueur along with floral and exotic tea nuances. This too possesses a highly attractive mouthfeel with slightly better mid-palate...

(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...

(96-98 points) The 2020 Clos de Tart Grand Cru contains around 55% whole bunch this year with 65% new oak. It has a very limpid hue in the glass. The bouquet takes time to open but my word, it is beautiful...

Though this red is oaky, there's also a whole-cluster feel to it, with sandalwood and vegetal aromas synching with flavors of black currant and blackberry. Iron and sweet baking spices chime in as this plays out on the...

(94-97 points) 50% whole bunch vinification and 60% new wood. A denser purple here, an explosion of ripe wild dark fruits, a little chocolate note, dark fruit all the way through, just enough acidity, certainly long and...

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...

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes has turned out especially well, to the extent that it's the best rendition of this cuvée that I can remember tasting chez Dugat-Py. Wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries...

Again, this possesses slightly better freshness with its hints of poached, if not stewed, plum, spice and earth. There is much, much better freshness and energy to the dense and more voluminous bigger-bodied flavors that...

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...

(94-97 points) 13.5% and some whole bunches to assist the freshness further. Medium crimson purple. There is a grace and elegance to this wine that sits well with Echezeaux and also with my palate. A really exciting...
