Vinous (87-89)The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Village has a bit more gumption on the nose compared to the Gevrey-Chambertin with lifted red berry fruit and touches of black tea. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine-boned with a citrus-freshness, hints of marmalade towards the finish. Fine. |

Burgundy | 2 | 92 (VN) | HK$14,995.00 | |||||
Vinous (92)Good deep red. Slightly roasted red fruits and dried spices on the nose and palate. Sweet, thick and mouthfilling; almost Rhône-like in its ripeness without coming across as heavy. Finishes with noble tannins, excellent length and surprising vinosity. |

Burgundy | 1 | 92+ (VN) | HK$6,510.00 | |||||
Vinous (92+)Good bright red. Complex, ripe aromas of raspberry, cherry, iron, minerals, spices, pepper and truffley underbrush. The sweetest, supplest and most refined of these 2011s, offering lovely harmonious acidity to its red fruit, red licorice and mineral flavors. Really coats the mouth and vibrates on the long, firmly tannic finish, which features a late burst of ripe but lively red fruits. Winemaker Yves Confuron says the 2011s here have similar precision to the 2010s but more middle, although he believes that the wines have shut down following the September 2013 bottling. |

Burgundy | 1 | 94 (DC) | HK$8,350.00 | |||||
Decanter (94)Big, bold, ferrous and rich, this is true to the domaine's aim to produce serious, slightly forbidding wines that take a long time to soften in bottle. Blood, iron and a butcher's shop full of guts and fresh meat, this needs a decade but will reward your patience. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas comes from vines that Cyprien Arlaud once were too vigorous and he has since managed to tame this. It has a well defined bouquet, surly at first, but opening with black cherry and bilberry fruit, a discrete marine influence in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, lightly spiced with a sprinkling of white pepper towards the finish. Impressive they manner in which this builds. Very elegant. |

Wine Advocate (96+)Aromatically, the 2015 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru echoes the neighboring Puligny Enseignères with its notes of ripe citrus zest, dried flowers and white peach, adding nuances of honeycomb and a subtle framing of smoky reduction. On the palate, however, the Bâtard is much more large-scaled and authoritative, with a glossily textural attack and immense depth at the core, while remaining stony—even saline—and remarkably weightless for a wine endowed with so much body and power. Though it's an elegant rendition of this terroir, it's unequivocally built for the long haul. |
