The 2021 Corton Le Rognet Grand Cru has a reserved nose, well defined though there is some reduction to contend with. Crossing my fingers, I hoped it might improve with aeration but it refuses. Good use of whole bunch that, at least with time, I anticipate will add dimension. The palate is supple and smooth, much more attractive than the nose, but I wonder about the depth of this Corton. There is not much in the way of grip although I appreciate the pepperiness and Chinese 5-spice that linger on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.HK$4,325.00 -

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Village, matured in 30% new oak, is vibrant and fresh on the nose: black cherries, strawberry pastille and just a touch of violet petal. The palate is a little oaky on the entry. Good depth, quite dense for a Chambolle, touches of blood orange and pain d'épices towards the finish. Give it a couple of years in bottle.HK$3,770.00 -

A rich full purple with a plump and stylish fruit, some violets, a generous red fruit, light tannins in place, adequate acidity. Quite a different style of wine after tasting those of Domaine Robert Sirugue, and indeed Arnaud & Sophie. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted: December 2023.HK$5,805.00 -
(6x75cl) 2023Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-91)
Mainly Fouchères plus Echanges, Combottes and Maladière, overall an old vine cuvée with 60-80 year old vines. An even fresh purple. A touch of oak and relatively ripe strawberry-raspberry fruit, very much red fruit on the palate, with just enough acidity. An attractive, accessible Chambolle. Drink from 2028-2032. Tasted Dec 2024.HK$3,610 - HK$4,415

Really surprisingly red-fruit dominated and sweetly spicy. A beauty, much more feminine than the Echezeaux but still carrying itself with a lot of structure and style. From two plots within the Cru alongside the famous Chateau. Again this is even more impressive than the Grivot.HK$8,240.00 -

The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is quite deep in colour. It has a slightly reduced bouquet with ample blackberry and raspberry fruit, well integrated oak, though it is missing the Pinoté character I look for. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and pleasant dark berry fruit laced with brown spices. It feels just a little short on the finish, overall a decent Clos de Vougeot that would show more finesse in a cooler growing season. - Neal MartinHK$9,800.00 -

A fresh crimson purple. The bouquet is more precisely defined than the Echezeaux, dark fruit yet with some red berries also involved. The fruit fills the palate more generously, with excellent structure from well-defined tannins and a little point of acidity. This stands up very well and shows the character of the appellation. Drink from 2032-2038. Tasted Dec 2024.HK$10,960 - HK$13,395

The 2020 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a rich and quite exotic bouquet that, for me, is just missing a bit of Pinoté. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe and fleshy tannins. Soft and caressing, nicely balanced, richer than the 2021 (no surprise there) with black pepper and a touch of spice on the finish.HK$13,475.00 -

A fine glowing mid purple. There is a good weight of fruit and some elegance, a little nuance in a pretty red berry fruit manner. A density of strawberry and raspberry, with again a little cover of oak vanillin, fair length. Drink from 2028-2035.HK$13,500.00 -

Another rich dark colour. Half new wood, but it seems to dominate much less here than it did in the Boudots. There is plenty of substance but the desirable Echezeaux nuances are there too. Give this time to refine and I think it will make an excellent Echezeaux. Drink from 2032-2039. Tasted: December 2023.HK$15,500.00 -

Very bright, precise and open knit on the nose. The fruit is fresh, sweet and friendly for a Nuits Saint Georges. Round and finessed this is a definite buy for lovers of Vosne Romanee but with a touch more tannins andHK$5,205.00 -
Very bright, precise and open knit on the nose. The fruit is fresh, sweet and friendly for a Nuits-Saint-Georges. Round and finessed this is a definite buy for lovers of Vosne Romanee but with a touch more tannic firmness and earthiness.HK$4,800.00 -

Not one of the deeper colours, on the ruby crimson border. A fine, classy, elegant nose, subtle rather than blockbuster. The oak is quite nicely integrated, alongside the fruit which shows more its Vosne-Romanée attributes. A little orange zest, with fair persistence. Drink from 2030-2037.

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a pleasant nose with slightly smudged raspberry coulis, crushed strawberry and pressed iris aromas. It needs 20-30 minutes for the aromatics to really unwind. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy opening as you would expect from a Suchots. Plenty of candied strawberry here, a little peppery towards the finish, though I wish there was a little more tension and Pinoté towards the finish where the oak is not quite in sync with the fruit. - Neal MartinHK$5,695.00 -

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has an exotic bouquet with hints of prune filtering through the red cherry and cassis notes. Very opulent. The palate is rounded and caressing, plush and quite decadent. The 40-50% new oak is nicely integrated, though I would like to see more precision on the finish.HK$6,925.00 -
(6x75cl) 2021Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)
A sound mid crimson to purple colour. The bouquet indicates some depth and a savoury complexity. There is a good backbone to this, a little oak, then the fruit returns behind with a fine long finish in quite a graceful style. Drink from 2026-2033.HK$8,190.00 -

A full dark purple, again bolstered by the barrel. Dark fruit, which maintains an even presence across the palate. This one does not fade in the middle as some Suchots can do. A fine long balanced finish. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: December 2023.HK$7,450.00 -

Two plots higher and lower, just assembled at the recent racking. Mid ruby purple. Just a little bit of reduction on the nose. Darker fruit behind, notable salinity, a few well refined tannins, and fair persistence. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Dec 2024.HK$5,290 - HK$6,465
