Burgundy | 5 | 89-91 (VN) | HK$2,585.00 | |||||
Vinous (89-91)The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village comes from four sectors, 50% in the south and 50% in the north of the appellation, and was completely de-stemmed. This shows just a bit of reduction on the nose, although that will be resolved by bottling time. The medium-bodied palate is fresh and sorbet-like, displaying grainy tannin and kirsch and cassis notes toward the joyous finish. Expect a decade of drinking pleasure. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet of dark cherries, raspberry and light tobacco aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is very smooth and harmonious, with lightly spiced red fruit. Gains weight and grip toward the very finely detailed finish, which nudges Premier Cru in quality. Yeah... that good. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is predominantly red berry fruit on the nose, mixed with light rose petal aromas. The medium-bodied palate offers silky tannins and pure red fruit mixed with white pepper and sage. Very cohesive on the finish. It was a wise decision not to add any stems here – it doesn’t need them. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, which comes from three lieux-dits, has another intense bouquet with dark cherries, violet and touches of cassis fruit, a light sea spray scent in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with a spicy, quite pepper entry. Just a little disjointed towards the finish, nevertheless, it should cohere by the time of bottling and there is fine persistence. |

Burgundy | 2 | 86-88 (VN) | HK$3,105.00 | |||||
Vinous (86-88)The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, reduced to four barrels this year, just feels a little enervated on the nose compared to the Morey, a tad shallow compared to other vintages. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, lively and fresh with orange sorbet towards its sweet and "playful" finish. The palate actually offers more than the aromatics. |

Burgundy | 1 | 94-96 (VN) | HK$23,580.00 | |||||
Vinous (94-96)There are three barrels of the 2017 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru, two of them new. It has a very well-defined bouquet of blackberry, briar, raspberry and estuarine scents (think of cold marshland on a winter day.) The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, beautifully integrated 100% whole bunch fruit, and fresh and very poised toward the persistent vintage. A superb Grands Echézeaux, and a seriously fine follow-up to the excellent 2016. |

Vinous (96-98)The 2020 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru comprises of two and a half barrels this year. This has an unapologetically mineral-soaked bouquet: exquisite details and focus, plenty of dark fruit that seems to gain volume with time. The palate is medium-bodied with velvety tannins, blood orange infused red fruit with an elegant finish that knows there is no need to show off. Pure class. |

Vinous (95-97)The 2021 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru is backward and bashful on the nose despite coaxing, maybe a little overawed by the preceding Clos Saint-Denis? But if teasingly opens with time, ditto on the palate that delivers filigree tannins and an ethereal personality that defines the best Côtes de Nuits in this vintage. This is absolutely divine and is Collardot's greatest achievement in a difficult vintage. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-98)5 Star Wine. More of a crimson purple, raspberry seedless, taken a bit of oak, but superlative nonetheless and exceptionally long. Completely mouth filling with great charm, fills all the nooks and crannies. An excellent balance between the fruit acidity and tannins. Still going strong in my mouth several minutes later! Drink from 2032-2040. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)No deeper in colour, and not the most expressive on the nose, with a softer strawberry fruit, which then emerges with full force on the palate. A softer style, a little less tension than my favourites in this cellar this year, though with some wood tannins to help build the structure. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Nov 2024. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (86-87)Rich dense purple with ultra lush extrovert raspberry, a thick sweet texture, plump through the middle, not unbalanced but you can still see the heat a bit. The tannins are ripe though and there is some acidity. 14.3% alcohol. Tasted: November 2021 |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (87-88)Ruby purple, a light fine and charming bouquet, one could happily drink this without thinking twice. The Bourgogne may not have any great concentration, but plenty of charm, for sure. Drink from 2025-2027. Tasted Nov 2024. |

Wine Advocate (87-89)The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Village comes from two parcels that Thomas told me were only slightly touched by the frost, and it matured in one-third new oak. It has a crisp, well-defined and very natural bouquet that unfolds gracefully in the glass with vibrant red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannin and tightly knit red fruit. Maybe it misses a little weight toward the back end due to the difficulties in the appellation and the frost, but I admire the transparency here. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village, matured in 30% new oak, has a generous bouquet of red berry fruit, plus touches of brown spice and light loamy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and lightly spiced red berry fruit mixed with white pepper and sage, dovetailing into a slightly compact but fresh finish. Fine. |

Burgundy | 1 | 89-91 (VN) | HK$3,250.00 | |||||
Vinous (89-91)The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Village, which contains 40% whole bunch, takes a few swirls of the glass to meld together, finally delivering airy blackberry and bilberry scents, perhaps more Morey in style than the titular village. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, a granular texture and a salty, slightly brusque but fresh finish. Fine, but it will need some bottle age to smooth its edges. A second cuvée without the stems is perhaps just a little less interesting on the nose. Thomas Collardot is not sure what the final blend will constitute but I suspect there will be a few stems in there. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Village, whose malolactic finished at the beginning of September, matured in 25-30% new oak, has a much more defined and fresher nose than the Bourgogne Rouge with lively black cherry and crushed strawberry scents. The palate is ripe and sweet, yet nicely controlled, the oak neatly integrated with quite a precocious tart finish. Maybe it just needs a little more persistency, but this will do nicely. (This blend includes 20% whole bunch. I tried a 40% whole bunch that is being trialled in three barrels. I actually preferred this, so it will either be blended together or bottled separately - no decision has been made yet.) |

Vinous (86-88)The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Village, matured in 30% new oak, has a light bouquet with airy wild strawberry scents, missing the complexity of the previous vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with a granular texture, fine acidity, nothing powerful but it is precise on its almost Morey-like finish. Give this 2-3 years in bottle. |
