We find ourselves saying this almost every year, but his 2023s are the best he’s made – ripe and sleek with perfect extraction and maturity, vibrant textures, and elegant, lifting finishes. Gautier called them “digeste” (roughly, “digestible”), which is an excellent characterization.At the northern end of town lies the Givry 1er cru “Clos Charlé,” a Givry of a different character. This is finer and more chiseled, with beautiful detail and loads of dark fresh fruit. The tannins are fine grained and seamless, with pretty notes of rose petals and cool berries. It has the weight of a Beaune 1er cru, with a stony freshness amid the perfectly detailed fruit. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

He has refined his cellar technique considerably, using gentler extractions, and focused his barrel work through exhaustive (some might say obsessive) experimentation and tasting. The resulting wines easily rival reds from the Côte d’Or in detail and complexity, and simply blow them away on price.Givry 1er cru “Clos Charlé” is detailed and sophisticated – higher toned and with more chiseled detail than his other premier crus. It’s particularly good in 2022, and easily worth the $6 upgrade from the village. The nose shows peony, wild cherries, and a delicate stoniness. The mouth is darker but retains a vibrant minerality alongside the inky fruit. Serve with a roast chicken on a cozy Sunday afternoon. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

We've long been fans of his wines, and it was gratifying to see Vinous's Neal Martin heap praise on Gautier's thoughtful winemaking, citing their commendable purity and fine tannins. These were among the most successful red Burgundies we tasted from the vintage, and we think they are wines any red Burgundy collector would be proud to serve at the table.Les Grandes Vignes was Neal Martin's highest-scoring wine from his inaugural visit to the domaine, and we agree that the 2024 is superb. The nose shows lemon curd and brioche with subtle stoniness behind, while the palate is long, tense, and beautifully concentrated. Easily matching the depth of a fine St-Aubin or village Chassagne, this is an outstanding white Burgundy. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

The nose is pretty and dark with notes of plum and smoke, while fine tannins and delicate red fruits mingle with earthy stones on the palate. Stylish, silky, and already approachable, this should be delicious from the start. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

The 2024 shows sweet strawberry and cherry fruit over a beautiful stony core, with an extremely fine texture and mouthwatering freshness that carries across the rich fruit. This is Gautier's most ambitious, long-lived cuvée. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |
