Burgundy | - | 91-93 (IB) |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)Their Corton is never the highest in alcohol, so below 14% this year. Dark crimson in colour with sunshine on the cherry fruit. Much more energy on the palate, a good natural acidity, and fine persistence. Not a flamboyant style of Corton, but good. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Oct 2024. |

Burghound (91-94)A similar if slightly more complex nose leads to rich, suave and velvety broad-shouldered flavors that are generous as well as seductively textured, all wrapped in a beautifully persistent finish that possesses an abundance of tannin-buffering sap. This is also a very powerful and altogether serious Corton that should age extremely well. Impressive cellar potential. |

Vinous (86)The 2015 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has a bold and generous but smudged nose that lacks real complexity. The palate is chewy and dense, displaying moderate grip and a very conservative finish that feels a little sterile and tastes of sour cherries. Not my cup of tea. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Wine Advocate (92-94)Aromas of cherries, raspberries, warm spices and loamy soil introduce the 2019 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine that's enveloping and gourmand, structured around ripe tannins and succulent acids. Like the Romanée-Saint-Vivant, this is sourced from the Poisot family. |

Burgundy | 1 | 88-91 (IB) | HK$5,760.00 | |||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-91)From Le Charlemagne. Rich dense purple with quite a powerful weight of fruit but verging on the cooked plums. Good oak, quite suave, not at all ugly at the finish, but a riper style of fruit than the ideal. Tasted: October 2021 |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91-93)The 2023 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has a superior bouquet to the Corton Grand Cru. It has more touches of red fruit, sous-bois and pressed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and fine structure. It's a little peppery toward the finish but there is more freshness and brightness here. |

Bordeaux | 2 | 92 (VN (ST)) | HK$4,580.00 | |||||
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92)Good deep bright ruby to the rim. Crushed blackberry, bitter chocolate, smoky oak, minerals and a whiff of tar on the nose. Fat and sweet on entry, then lush and concentrated in the middle, with generous flavors of dark berries and black cherry. Impressively broad, chewy wine with a mounting finish featuring fine-grained tannins and excellent length. I'd hold this for five years before pulling the cork. |

Jeb Dunnuck (92-95)The deep ruby/purple-colored 2018 Château Fombrauge is a beauty and one of the finest examples of this cuvée to date. Smoked black fruits, tobacco, graphite, and hints of chocolate all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, rich, impressively concentrated Saint-Émilion that has ripe, sweet tannins, a layered texture, and a great finish. It's a sexy, pleasure-bent beauty that still has class and impeccable balance. Tasted twice. |

Jeb Dunnuck (94+)The 2019 Château Fombrauge is terrific and has a good mix of richness, concentration, and elegance. Giving up notes of mulled ripe cherries, Asian spices, blackberries, tobacco, and cedar pencil on the nose, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, layered, pure mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and just beautiful overall balance. It's already drinking beautifully today yet will evolve positively for 5-7 years and hold for another 15-20 years. It's another brilliant Saint-Emilion in the vintage. This seemed more modern and polished from barrel but shows a very classic style now from bottle. |

Jeb Dunnuck (93-95)The inky-hued 2020 Château Fombrauge is another wonderful Saint-Emilion that shines on all accounts. Possessing terrific purity in its cassis-styled fruits as well as notes of violets, chocolate, and chalky minerality, this puppy is medium to full-bodied, has a great mid-palate, background oak, and outstanding length. Tasted twice. |

There is a wealth of great French wine outside the ‘Big 4’ (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone). The Languedoc Roussillon with it’s herby, robust Mediterranean reds, Provence with its pale, vinous roses, Loire with its flinty Sauvignons, crunchy Cabernet Francs, and endlessly fascinating Chenins, Jura with its old fashioned curiosities… the list goes on. Tradition and terroir are the veins running through them all, making French wines still the most emulated in the world.
