Today Michel’s domaine is world famous as a top source for red Burgundy, and the wines from Vosne are at the heart of his lineup.
The 2015 Vosne-Romanée is simply extraordinary wine. The nose shows violets and dried roses, redcurrants and a bit of spice. The mouth is intense and lively but smoothed, with silky ripe tannins in perfect balance with the dark pinot noir fruit. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

It’s surrounded by an old wall, which helps block the wind and trap warmth, making its wines particularly round. Today the nose is floral and nicely balanced, with a mixture of violets, pan drippings, ginger, soy, and cherries. The mouth shows perfectly ripened tannins and a long, vibrant finish -- we expect it to improve for another decade or two.
Jancis Robinson found it “rather gorgeous,” finding it has “already lots of pleasure but with the tannins to keep it in shape.” Burghound found it “solidly concentrated” and “sleekly textured,” predicting “this attractive effort should drink relatively well early.” Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

If past performance is any indication this should be a lovely, ethereal, old-school red Burgundy in a few years. Martin awarded 90-92, finding a “well defined bouquet” with “a fine bead of acidity” on the palate, concluding “impressive density…good long term potential.” This is very 2019 – perfectly formed and tightly coiled. Given time this should provide excellent return on investment. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Her wines are quietly brilliant, many hailing from well-known vineyards in St-Aubin, Puligny and Meursault. Her 2022 white Burgundies are terrific – low in alcohol, full of ripe fruit and excellent freshness, with terrific concentration and appealing textures.
Sofie's village-level Puligny Montrachet is one of the secret gems of her domaine. Puligny often requires several years to become accessible, but this cuvée drinks well (and classically) from the start. There's a delicate spine of Puligny stones behind the intense fruit – think pears and green apple – but with accessible mouthfeel and a friendly bouquet. Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Neal Martin writes “I detect a change in tack rather than charting a totally different course.” Like many of his peer group Pierre has moved the domaine toward organics, and if his first few vintages at the helm are any indication, the future at Gros may be even brighter than the past.
Gevrey-Chambertin “La Platiere” is the latest addition to the village-level lineup. It’s a small plot, about the size of the Morey St. Denis parcel, and shows the power and dark fruit typical of Gevrey. In the 2022 Burghound found a nose of “poached plum, wild currant and warm earth,” and praised its “fine volume” and its “rich, caressing and velvet-textured middleweight flavors.” This wine shows the richness and roundness typical of Gevrey.

Wine writer Matt Kramer celebrates Prunier’s “signature-free winemaking” in Caillerets, explaining they “do an outstanding job with it,” concluding, “a great Caillerets.”
The 2018 Prunier Caillerets is a delight — the nose is rich and enticing, showing violets, dark chocolate and raspberries. The mouth is balanced, silky, and very long, with terrific density. Alongside a smooth, chalky minerality, look for notes of cassis and forest floor. Jasper Morris awarded 92 points, finding balance between “weight, charm, class, structure,” and concluding “a wine to be proud of.” Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Clos Pitois blanc 2018 is a big wine, juicy and round with plenty of body. Its fruit is ripe lemon and orchard fruit, which balances well with its noticeable oak. The finish is long. Burghound found the wine “nicely focused” and predicted that it would “drink reasonably well young while repaying short to perhaps medium-term cellaring.” Less (-) Free US Shipping |
