Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)Bright fresh purple. The nose has just a suggestion of chocolate on top of the raspberries. There is plenty of energy here on the palate, now some ripe cherries, not the most concentrated but with a fine long aftertaste. Has me reaching for another taste! Drink from 2033-2040. Tasted Dec 2024. |

Vinous (93-95)Medium red. Aromas of strawberry, raspberry, flowers and spices. Juicy on entry, then suave and light on its feet in the middle, with dense red berry flavors accented by white pepper, mint and flowers. This is a live wire in the mouth but it's also seamless and refined. The very subtle, slowly mounting finish displays a touch of medicinal bitterness that stimulates the salivary glands. Arlaud noted that his grand cru vineyards yielded 30 to 32 hectoliters per hectare in 2015, which he described as good for a dry year and better balanced as a result. The berries were small in 2015 but not nearly as tiny as those in 2003, when the same vineyards produced barely 20 hectoliters per hectare. |

Vinous (92-94)Medium red. A reticent but pure expression of Clos de la Roche soil on the nose, offering subtle scents of raspberry, strawberry, dried flowers, brown spices, underbrush and minerals. Juicy and fine-grained but youthfully tight, with lovely spicy, integrated, mineral-driven acidity framing the red berry and earth flavors. Finishes lively and tight but not hard or dry. Arlaud noted that the pH is 3.5, at the high end for his 2016s, as is usually the case for this wine, which comes from vines that he's careful not to pick too early. We need to accept a higher pH in order to get enough fruit ripeness, he explained. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2018 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is matured with 30% whole bunch and 20% new oak. The superb bouquet presents a mélange of red and black fruit, sous-bois and blood orange aromas that blossom from the glass. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins and finely judged acidity. Quite compact for a Clos de la Roche, with noticeable backbone on the finish. It will require several years in bottle but it should be worth the wait. |

Vinous (95-97)The 2020 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru might be a little more compact on the nose compared to the Clos de la Roche at the moment, yet I feel that this has more focus and cohesion by comparison. Wonderful mineralité here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, an entrancing symmetry here with a caressing, almost citrus-fresh finish that feels very long. Superb. |

Vinous (96-98)The 2021 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has what is often termed "transparency" on the entrancing nose, airy yet vigorous with lifted red berry fruit, petrichor and light citrus aromas. There's just a hint of reduction but minor. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, quite deep and intense, elegant and lightly spiced towards the persistent finish that lingers in the mouth. Unerringly symmetrical. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (95-97)The 2023 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru seems more detailed and articulates its terroir with more aplomb than the Clos de la Roche at the moment. There is brightness and energy, combined with complexity. After a few swirls, touches of bay leaf and tea leaves emerge. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit and fine grip, slightly more viscous in texture than the Clos de la Roche, with a pinch of black pepper and graphite on the long finish. Superb. |

Vinous (89-92)Good dark red. Sexy aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, plum, chocolate and animal fur. Sweet, lush and mouthfilling, conveying an impression of almost chocolatey ripeness. In a very sweet stage right now but this village wine also possesses nicely integrated acidity and finishes with a fine dusting of tannins. The longest of these village wines, showing excellent lingering fruit. |

Vinous (88-90)Healthy dark red. Reduced, soil-driven scents of raspberry, smoke and fresh blood. Conveys more texture and ripeness than the Chambolle villages but with plenty of balancing acidity. This juicy midweight offers an enticing red cherry sweetness in the middle palate and finishes with red berries and spices. Here the tannins are nicely broad and well supported by the wine's material. |

Vinous (89+)Good deep red. High-pitched aromas of sweet red berries and spices. Dense and very ripe, with noteworthy fat as well as a medicinal reserve to the flavor of raspberry liqueur. Finishes broad and quite dry, with substantial but well-buffered tannins. |

Burgundy | 1 | 90-92 (VN) | HK$1,415.00 | |||||
Vinous (90-92)(these vines average 40 years of age): Medium bright red. Sexy soil-driven aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, iron, leather, smoke and spices. A step up in creaminess of texture and mellow sweetness from the preceding examples. The tannins are substantial but ripe and late-arriving, allowing this wine to maintain its sweetness longer. Finishes with lingering spicy lift. Classic Morey-Saint-Denis from a ripe year. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)Fresh dark purple, a mild reduction, a wine of elegance and charm on the palate with a surprisingly peppery finish. Almost exotic Asian spices. The fruit itself spreads beautifully across the palate, a mix of red and black. Tasted: December 2021 |

Burghound (91-94)A discreet application of wood sets off the softly spicy and earthy aromas of violet, lavender plum and red currant. The powerful and markedly more concentrated broad-shouldered flavors exude a subtle minerality on the succulent yet very firmly structured finale that exhibits excellent length. Patience will be necessary but it should be well-rewarded in time as this is packed with development potential. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)Not too deep in colour, an even crimson ruby. Very much a red fruit nose as well, actually this is quite striking and very well poised. Fills the mouth, discreetly, then develops further depth of fruit at the back of the palate, as well as showing a little oak. I think this will emerge as a very successful 2023. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Dec 2024. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Aux Chesaux 1er Cru offers an attractive mélange of mulberry, blackberry and subtle traces of blue fruit. It feels pure and quite generous. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline, almost briny entry and a powdery texture. This has one of the firmest backbones among the _ domaine’s_ Premier Crus, that brine-like element tangible all the way through to the masculine finish. Excellent, but one for those who love traditional Morey-Saint-Denis. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis Aux Chezaux 1er Cru perhaps does not convey the same cohesion as Arlaud’s other Premier Crus at the moment, a little earthier and more broody. The palate is sweet and ripe with rounded black cherries and crème de cassis notes, though it needs a little more precision and terroir expression on the finish. One to watch. |
