BURGUNDY

Bright medium ruby. Very dark, discreet scents of black raspberry, crème de cassis and flowers. Densely packed, intense and energetic, terrific savory minerality and violet lift. A crystalline quality finishes with mounting length and noble tannins.

The 2021 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts reveals notes of red berries, plums, vine smoke, exotic spices and bergamot. Fine complete purple, a little oak shows on the nose. Some whole bunches Very juicy and also very well balanced.

Some savory and lemon-pastry aromas here. The palate has such fleshy peaches and white nectarines, as well as mangoes. Very round, open and fluid wine. Acidity has the final word. So long and densely mineral at the finish.

Very fresh bouquet with notes of citrus and white fleshed fruit, with a very slightly oaky finish. Fresh and supple, the wine is marked by mineral notes that are typical of the appellation.

The wine is pristine, bright and fresh with high acidity and citrus and mineral aromas and flavor. Delicious with poultry, shellfish and lobster. A clean and crisp Chablis stemming from its unoaked origins.

Vaillons is a bit more powerful and structured, but Dauvissat's classic take has plenty of saline minerals and crisp acidity too. Soft touch of oak here buttresses the structure. Profound, and built to age.

Equally pretty white orchard fruit aromas that exhibit notes of oyster shell, citrus and quinine. Solidly concentrated medium weight flavors tightly wound so a few years of cellaring is possibly advisable. Fine quality and certainly worth a look.

Aromas of mayflower, acacia, and honeysuckle blend with verbena and hazelnut. This wine boasts a profound minerality (flint). Age brings in notes of honey or ripe pear. On the palate, fleshiness is matched by mellowness, and both are equally persistent
