Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)4 barrels made, about one third below the normal. Deep black purple, a rich sensuality to the nose, very promising. There is a solid core of rich dense cherry, with a firmer more tannic background, but in balance with the density of the fruit. Definitely a wine to put away for rather longer (10+ years) Worth waiting for. Tasted: November 2021 |

Vinous (92)The 2019 Volnay Robardelle 1er Cru comes from a 0.40-hectare parcel of 60 and 80-year-old vines that always yield around 20hl/ha (three and a half barrels this year.) The bouquet is very well defined with gorgeous wild strawberry, cassis and violet aromas, almost Vosne-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, sweet and generous with blackcurrant pastilles and a touch of cassis again towards the sorbet-like finish. Very seductive. |

Vinous (93)From the 32-year-old vines, the 2019 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has the most backward and recalcitrant nose of Bouley’s Volnays, though well defined and focused. The palate is grippy on the entry with superb precision. It reminds me of Lafarge albeit with darker fruit towards the finish. Excellent. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2021 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru has a touch of reduction on the nose, but I find this composed with satisfying delineation and sapidity—hints of apple blossom emerging with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with an oily texture, perhaps a bit more solids in this Chablis that lend complexity. It does not quite deliver the mineralité and nervosité on the finish, however. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (90+)(bottled in January of this year; began in 20% new oak and 80% _cuve, then was assembled in old barrels after the malolactic fermentation): Medium yellow. Strong vanillin oak on the nose. Ripe, plush and dry, with the stone fruit flavors currently dominated by oak spice and caramel. Still a bit youthfully austere but fresher than the Cuvée Authentique.

Dense, full and energetic; fat and silky for the vintage but classically dry and stony. Subtle notes of pineapple and flowers add complexity. Best today on the subtle, slowly mounting back end, which spreads out to saturate the palate with liquid stone. Not yet especially demonstrative but, with its penetrating stony minerality, this wine is built for a long life in bottle. |

Burghound (86-89)A notably ripe yet attractively fresh nose speaks of both red and dark berries along with soft earth nuances. There is fine volume to the relatively full-bodied flavors that possess a lovely mid-plate texture before concluding in a mildly rustic and warm finish. Still, this is really quite good and worth considering as a quality option for an all-around house red. |
