The domaine’s 13 hectares encompass the appellation’s breadth and greatness, producing premiers crus of both finesse, structure and well-reputed ageability. All fruit is destemmed, fermentations are closely managed, and élevage extends to 18 months with 30% new oak use for ageing. The northern crus, including Chaignots and Bousselots, are perfumed and more Vosne-like; the southern crus, (all the others) offer more power and longevity. For customers, it’s a unique opportunity: grand cru quality and premier cru pricing. Across the board, balance, terroir expression and cellaring potential are assured. I tasted a Bourgogne Rouge 2023 last week, and it had such a beautiful depth and oomph that I soon forgot it was Bourgogne! \u003cstrong\u003eCheers, Randall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeal Martin of \u003cem\u003eVinous \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ehails these wines as the “yardstick for the appellation.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The 2023 vintage has turned out nicely at this address, delivering wines somewhat reminiscent of a riper version of the 2017s, and with a suppleness.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Kelley, \u003cem\u003eThe Wine Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"…a bottomless core of sappy fruit, fine soil inflection and grip, ripe tannins and a long, classy, well-balanced and chewy finish.
