At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines. The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Vineyards like Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, and Meursault showcase the full potential of this noble grape, producing wines of unparalleled richness, depth, and complexity. These whites epitomize the artistry of winemaking, with each sip revealing layers of flavors and a harmonious balance between fruit, minerality, and oak.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has an intense, quite marine-influenced bouquet of dark cherries and blueberry fruit. This is a bouquet that wants to be noticed. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy, with supple tannins. It has more substance than Bruno Clair's Cazetiers, but is equally well balanced. Grippy and quite powerful on the finish. Great potential, but it needs bottle age.Inc. GSTSG$1,028.37 -

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru comes from 1.47 hectares that cover the four soil types within the vineyard; Magnien informed me that he is the only grower who has all four. The vines are Pinot Magnien and some are up to 100 years old. A gorgeous bouquet of pure black cherries, blueberry and light violet aromas bursts from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and lightly spiced, leading into a harmonious, persistent, mineral-driven finish. This should evolve into a gorgeous Les Cazetiers.Inc. GSTSG$194.28 -

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru comes from all four soil profiles in the vineyard – the only producer to have the "complete set."

The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy, with supple tannins, black pepper and a touch of sage toward the finish. Very fine.Inc. GSTSG$235.34 -

5 Stars. Now we come to the flagship wine. A beautiful glowing purple. This wine suggests a huge amount to follow, just waiting on the detail. The palate is magical however, not so much in the fruit descriptors but in the sense of class, the suavity, the balance and the persistence. No sign of heat, tannins perfectly integrated. Real muscle here for the longer haul. Beautiful. 13.6% alcohol Tasted: November 2021Inc. GSTSG$249.51 -

A fine glowing fresh crimson purple colour. This is as ever the star of the cellar. It is a wine of perfect poise, with middling intensity, a high class fine ripe red fruit with occasional points of something closer to black, a saline touch which is the Cazetiers minerality expressing itself.

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has the ripest and most sensual of Magnien's cuvées on the nose, adorned with lush red cherry, raspberry and light fig scents. There's a soupçon of exoticism in situ. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, quite fleshy in the mouth with good grip and density. There is more horsepower even when contrasted against the Ruchottes-Chambertin. Lingers wonderfully on the finish. Excellent.Inc. GSTSG$1,153.72 -

An even crimson ruby colour. The fruit is more immediate than the Ruchottes. This is seamless across the palate and leaves a gorgeously balanced feeling of little red fruits at the finish, entirely covering the tannins, which in any case are refined. There is a little minerality too as befits Cazetiers. Really a lovely stylish finale.Inc. GSTSG$1,225.60 -

(from a .33 ha holding of ~55-year-old vines). A cooler and airier nose combines notes of red and dark currant with those of spice, earth and a whiff of game. The markedly more finely textured flavors exude an almost pungent minerality on the impressively persistent and beautifully well-balanced finale. This is pretty much textbook ESJ with its combination of power and finesse. In a word, excellent. (91-93)/2029+Inc. GSTSG$1,073.04 -
Burghound (91-94)
(from a .33 ha holding of ~55-year-old vines). Once again, the wood treatment is discreet but not invisible on the ripe and very fresh aromas of poached plum, cassis and pretty floral wisps. The racy, detailed and intense middle weight flavors possess a more sophisticated mouthfeel thanks to the fine-grained tannins, all wrapped in a youthfully austere, balanced and impressively long finale. Excellent. (91-94)/2032+Inc. GSTSG$877.95 -

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a delectable bouquet with brambly red berry fruit, crushed rose petals, cold stone and light seaweed scents. Really complex and quite compelling. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. This is well balanced with satisfying substance. Maybe it does not quite have the mineralité and complexity of Mortet's Lavaux on the finish, yet I feel it will evolve in the bottle. Give it three or four years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. GSTSG$1,093.77 -
Burghound (90-93)
(from a .33 ha holding of ~55-year-old vines). This is aromatically quite similar to the Champeaux with perhaps just a bit more elegance. The mid-palate mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is finer still with more minerality as well that adds a sense of lift to the moderately austere finish where the supporting tannins are firm and slightly angular. I like the balance but this will need time to round off the structureInc. GSTSG$1,110.06 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
Medium crimson colour. Fine and racy, elegant pinot here on this very white soil. Then it kicks on really very well on the palate, a lacy touch, silky across the refined tannins and with a long graceful finish. Very good. Charles held back and picked the Estournelles on September 15th, a decision which seems to have paid off Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Nov 2024.Inc. GSTSG$965.09 -

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a flamboyant bouquet of kirsch, crushed stone, orange blossom and black truffle, the 30% whole cluster neatly enmeshed.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a complex and outgoing bouquet with redcurrant, cranberry and raspberry fruit exploding from the glass. There is no holding back here vis-à-vis other cuvées. The palate is medium-bodied with candied orange peel infusing the vivacious and slightly tart red fruit, but I appreciate the sharpness, almost flintiness towards the finish and the bitterness on the aftertaste that compels another sip.

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru comes from 33-year-old vines adjacent to Evocelles. The nose takes more time to settle compared to the Champerrier, gradually evolving attractive briar and black currant aromas and sous-bois and mulch-like scents. The palate is medium-bodied and gently grippy on the entry. This is more structured than the Champerrier, with a little chewiness on the finish. Good potential, but it needs three to five years in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$863.76 -

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux 1er Cru has a touch of reduction on the nose, showing a mixture of red and black fruit, background marmalade and Seville orange scents that are quite complex and well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet core of maraschino cherry and blood orange, finely chiselled tannins and a bright finish. This should give 12-15 years of drinking pleasure.Inc.

The fruit comes from 7 plots mostly on the lower slopes and up to 39 years old. Fine vibrant mid purple, sturdy too, but this time the fruit comes across a little fresher. Once again there is some fairly powerful structure here in dark raspberry mode, just a little bit savoury to finish, but notably longer than the Bourgogne. Tasted: November 2021Inc. GSTSG$749.33 -
