There is fine potential here too, in a liquid dark raspberry style, long on the palate, some sun dried cherries, but without the alcohol and excess of 2020. Good wine. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted: December 2023.In BondSG$731.00 -

Vinous - Neal Martin (88-90)
The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Village comes from several lieux-dits and includes more whole bunches than previous vintages - 60%. That does dominate the aromatics at the moment and covers some of the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It is lightly spiced, somehow just a little conservative towards the finish, where it needs to muster a little more complexity. But it will drink well for 8-10 years.In BondSG$675.00 -
(6x75cl) 2010
Vinous (93-95)
(from the same supplier and 60+-year-old vines as the Clos Saint-Denis): Good deep, bright red. Wild, deep nose offers raspberry, dark chocolate and smoked meat. Fat, sweet and voluminous, with soil-driven flavors of dark spices and salty minerality. At once big and fine, finishing very long, with excellent lift and earthy perfume. Conveys a strong impression of terroir.In BondSG$2,685.00 -
Vinous (92-95)
(50% new oak): Deep red. Vibrant aromas of blackberry, menthol and red licorice. Intense and fine-grained, with lovely incipient complexity to the flavors of blueberry, wild herbs and licorice. Like this Clos Saint-Denis, this boasts a very strong, rising finish. Here the tannins are even smoother.In BondSG$375.00 -
(1x75cl) 2016
Vinous (90-92)
(25% vendange entier; aging in 50% new oak; from vines at the bottom of this grand cru, where the soil is more red clay than limestone): Bright medium red. Nose dominated by musky, slightly funky reduction. Creamy and sweet in the mouth but a bit too easygoing for young Clos de la Roche, showing limited energy and lift to its fat flavors of strawberry, red raspberry and smoky underbrush. Plush and smooth but does not offer the refinement or grip of the better examples from this grand cru.In BondSG$347.00 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru contains 25% whole clusters, matured in 50% new oak. Despite some reduction on the nose, there is plenty of dense fruit here, the blackberry aromas mingling with briar and undergrowth. The nicely structured palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit laced with sea salt and thyme, and good backbone on the finish. Give it four to five years and it may deserve a higher score.In BondSG$559.00 -
(3x150cl) 2018
Vinous (93-95)
The 2018 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a very intense bouquet of copious red cherries, kirsch, orange blossom and blueberry fruit, quite floral in style although perhaps not quite delivering the breeding of the Clos Saint-Denis. The palate is succulent and rounded, the 50% new oak nicely integrated, and shows very good definition and persistency on the finish. There is a lovely crescendo here. Impressive.In BondSG$1,995.00 -
Vinous (94-96)
The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru comes from the namesake lieu-dit, matured in 50% new oak with 25% whole bunch. It has a wonderful bouquet of pure red currant, cranberry, sous-bois and crushed stone aromas that is very delineated and focused. The medium-bodied palate offers a saline entry, superb tension and fine weight, with a pinch of black pepper toward the persistent finish. Superb.In BondSG$365.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-97)

Bilberries, blueberries and luscious raspberries. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Nov 2024.In BondSG$1,595.00 -
(6x75cl) 2017
Vinous (91-93)
The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from the Le Charlemagne lieu-dit, which offered three barrels this year (two new). The well-defined bouquet features honeysuckle and jasmine scents. The palate is very generous but well balanced, revealing veins of ginger and nutmeg. Quite rich in style, but very focused, with plenty of freshness on the finish. Excellent.In BondSG$1,710.00 -
