Vinous (91-93)
The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Loups 1er Cru contains half Premier Crus (La Riotte and Clos Sorbé) and the other half from younger vines in Clos des Lambrays planted in 2000 that is likely to enter the Grant Vin next year. Including 50% whole bunches, it has an attractive dark berry fruit and subtle briny scents on the nose. Good intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, a mixture of red and black fruit with a very precise finish enhanced by the stem addition. This is a much more serious wine than the Village Cru.HK$1,415.00 -

This cuvée no longer contains Clos des Lambrays young vines. The plot called 30 rangs (planted 2000) was in this wine up to 2021. La Riotte and Le Village remain, the 20 ares of Clos Sorbe has been added to new vineyards (see below) from Domaine Cosson, but instead there is fruit from half a hectare of Les Blanchards, also ex Cosson. Glowing purple. A beautifully lifted bouquet with 40% whole bunches, alpine strawberries, all in finesse. Then the wine builds to an extra level of intensity, more than expected from the elegance of the nose, The fruit shows additional nuances as well, entirely red fruit, some ripe cherries now showing as well. Just a few spices to finish.HK$7,030.00 -
(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)
A blend of small clay based 1er Cru vineyards which also see the sun. they no longer include the young vines of Lambrays (from 2022). An even, deep ruby purple. This is not ultra concentrated but it is fine, and the 40% whole bunches give that additional fresh white pepper tingle that works so well here, especially alongside the darker fruit. Fully ripe yet finely balanced. Picked before the rain hence the riper flavour profile. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Nov 2024.HK$6,030.00 -
Vinous (87)
Barely medium red. Candied cherry and strawberry along with a hint of cinnamon on the nose. Sweet, supple and fruit-driven, with fairly deep flavors of cherry, red berries and spices. This was a rather full 13.5% natural alcohol.HK$9,815.00 -
Vinous (88)
(aged in one-third new oak): Good medium red. Slightly sauvage aromas of red plum, currant, chocolate, mocha and leather. Offers modest depth and flesh but nice cut and peppery energy to its musky red fruit flavors. This distinctly low-fat wine has well-integrated acidity and finishes with good length.HK$845.00 -

Vinous (90+)
(completely destemmed and aged in one-third new oak; bottled in March, along with the sold-out premier cru, which I did not have a chance to taste, and the Clos des Lambrays): Moderately saturated medium red. Very ripe but not roasted on the nose, with its raspberry fruit complicated by spices and sexy earth tones, plus a slightly metallic whiff of cassis bud reduction. Juicy, spicy and savory but still a bit youthfully imploded for village wine. At once less sweet and less floral than the 2016 version, but if that wine is more fun, this one is deeper. Finishes with a firm tannic spine.HK$2,935.00 -

Blend of fruit from La Bidaude (very poor soils and lots of hard limestone), En la Rue de Vergy, Clos Solon. Bidaude should be a premier cru, suggests Bruno Champy. (Lavalle map shows it as such 1855.) One-third new oak, one-third second use. 100% destemmed. On lees and has not been racked. Will be racked today (pump arrives on cue). Rich black fruit with just a touch of smoky reduction. Smoky and spiced on the nose. Concentrated dark fruit in the heart but surrounded by smooth ripe tannins. Great depth of fruit and elegant at the same time. Rich but approachable.HK$1,035.00 -
Vinous (87-89)
The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Village comes from the upper sectors of the vineyard and is completely de-stemmed. It has an attractive nose with dark berry fruit, loam and light seaweed scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very smooth, creamy textured and seductive with a plummy, sensual finish. Not bad, though chasing the tail of Lambray's other 2021s.HK$5,540.00 -

(3x150cl) 2016Decanter (94)
A bouquet of ripe cherry, blackcurrant and rich soil, framed by new wood, precedes an elegant, full-bodied and expansive wine with a detailed, fine-grained chassis of rich tannin, superb mid-palate depth, and an energy and sappiness to its core of fruit that bodes well for the long term. Like the Latricières, this may flesh out more during élevage, but it is already appreciably more integrated and complete.HK$24,060.00 -

(3x75cl) 2022Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-99)
A rich purple in colour. The bouquet does not deliver much as yet but the fruit is so seductive at the front of the palate, though still very unresolved further back with fresher tannins which still need time to integrate. I expect the 2022 Chambertin to have excellent keeping qualities. Drink from 2035-2045+. Tasted: November 2023.HK$20,900.00 -
(3x150cl) 2016Jancis Robinson (18)
Very juicy but with real class and lift. Nicely judged with proper climat expression. Builds on the finish. Serious wine – as well it might be at this price! Very long with raciness.HK$16,100.00 -

The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has a strict, stony and quite austere nose in the positive sense of that word. There is fruit here—damsons—yet it is tightly coiled and will require time to unfold. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Very well-judged acidity, focused with neatly integrated oak, builds in the mouth towards a seductive but classical finish with hints of cracked black pepper and clove that linger on the aftertaste. Atypical for the vintage insofar as it seems to come from a warmer season. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.HK$27,580.00 -

The 2017 Pommard Clos Blanc 1er Cru has a clean, precise bouquet of blackberry, briary and wild hedgerow scents, the oak nicely integrated. It’s quite reduced at present, though that should blow off. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy, with supple tannins and touches of white pepper, clove and Chinese five-spice, leading to a harmonious and quite powerful finish. Yes, a bit brutish, but it should improve with bottle age. Closure is Diam 5. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.HK$5,195.00 -

(12x75cl) 2021Vinous (87-89)
The 2021 Pommard Clos Blanc 1er Cru has an attractive nose with wild strawberry and raspberry, clean and nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins, quite crisp and focused with a powdery finish. Drink over the next 5-8 years.HK$8,155.00 -
Vinous (91)
The 2016 Pommard Les Chaponnières 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet with crushed strawberry and light undergrowth aromas, becoming earthier with aeration. Moderate vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly tough tannin on the entry, but redeemed by fine salinity and a harmonious, classically-lined finish with just the right amount of dryness. Fine. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. (DIAM 10 closure)HK$5,215.00 -

Raised in 30% new wood and 70% 1 year old. Solid purple with medium depth. The nose starts on the oak and soon moves to the fruit. Very succulent again, smoothly balanced with a firm grip to the tannins. Yet it is suavely put together. High class, and it certainly has the length. Tasted: October 2019HK$3,185.00 -

The 2020 Pommard Les Chaponnières 1er Cru has a lovely nose with fresh cranberry, wild strawberry and is almost pastille-like in terms of its purity. The palate has a fleshy and quite concentrated opening, very harmonious with Volnay-like density and sensuality. Irresistible.HK$6,745.00 -
(12x75cl) 2021Vinous (86-88)
The 2021 Pommard Les Chaponnières 1er Cru is more successful on the nose than the Perrières with pleasant brambly red fruit and loamy scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a sour cherry tinged entry. A light Pommard with a slightly gourmand, cereal finish. Early drinking.HK$6,410.00 -

A fine mid ruby colour. The bouquet has both charm and density in a very happy balance. A lovely aftertaste of soft strawberry and fresh raspberry, the graceful side of Pommard with the tannins nicely covered. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: November 2023.HK$5,275.00
Burgundy is Pinot Noir’s spiritual home, and nowhere in the world better illustrates terroir than here. Two vineyards side by side result in wines with subtle yet intricate differences in structure and aromatic profile – and often not so subtle differences in price.
