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.

These whites epitomize the artistry of winemaking, with each sip revealing layers of flavors and a harmonious balance between fruit, minerality, and oak.

Wine Advocate (95)Some of Cécile Tremblay's wines in this vintage are decidedly reticent and shut down, but the 2013 Echézeaux du Dessus Grand Cru is still open for inspection, bursting from the glass with a lavish bouquet of plums, cassis, smoked duck and dark chocolate, followed by a full-bodied, ample and expansive palate with excellent concentration at the core, velvety structuring tannins and a long, vibrant finish. In the unlikely event that any readers possess large numbers of bottles, trying one now wouldn't be a crime. |

Wine Advocate (95)The 2014 Echézeaux Grand Cru du Dessus, which was completely destemmed, has a lovely bouquet, very harmonious and perhaps showing more complexity than the Chapelle-Chambertin at the moment. The mineralité really comes through here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, vibrant and vivacious with perfectly judged acidity. This is a really quite beautiful Echézeaux for long term aging (if you can resist temptation). |

Vinous (92-95)(30% vendange entier; just half of a normal crop due to frost losses through the combe): Bright, dark red-ruby. Rather brooding aromas of blackcurrant, dark raspberry, licorice, violet, crushed rock and spices. Then surprisingly dense and sweet in the mouth, more generous and creamy than the Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges du Dessus, showing a hint of chocolate. This wine is always the highest in pH in the cellar, noted Tremblay. Finishes with suave, fine-grained tannins, a suggestion of marzipan sweetness and building length. Tremblay noted that owing to the cordon de royat pruning used here, the buds are a bit higher off the ground, and that made a difference during the frost as the temperature at this level may have been as much as a full degree Centigrade higher. |

Wine Advocate (94-96)Broader and more flamboyant than the Chapelle-Chambertin, the 2020 Echézeaux du Dessus Grand Cru bursts with aromas of plums, wild berries, exotic spices, orange rind, peonies and smoked meats. Full-bodied, ample and perfumed, it's layered and concentrated, with a fleshy, multidimensional core of fruit, lively acids and a long, expansive finish. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2021 Echézeaux du Dessus Grand Cru, which contains 10% whole bunches, offers impressive presence on the nose, incense permeating the red berry fruit, wonderful delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with a lightly spiced, blood orange infused entry, touches of white pepper and even ginger towards the persistent finish. This will need a little time to cohere but there is clearly immense potential. |

The Tres Girard impresses for its finely knit, articulated fruit and supple personality. It is a gracious wine to drink over the next handful of years. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis Très Girard, containing 20–30% whole bunch, has a soft and gentle bouquet of black currant, red plum and crushed stone aromas that needs a little coaxing from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a wonderful bead of acidity, making this Morey one of the most elegant village crus I have encountered. This comes recommended. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Très Girard has a vibrant bouquet with blackberry, cranberry and light rose petals scents, almost pastille-like in purity. The palate is medium-bodied with lush, pliant tannins matched by nigh-perfectly judged acidity. A pinch of cracked black pepper on the finish et voilà...a quite delicious Morey-Saint-Denis to drink over the next 10 to 12 years. |

Vinous (90-93)(Tremblay took over these 15-year-old vines in 2009; not destined for the U.S. market): Dark red. Sappy nose combines minerals, flowers and earth; I would have picked it blind as Vosne-Romanee. Then juicy and spicy on the palate, offering black raspberry and brown spice flavors lifted by minerals. Nice density without weight here, and very bright on the long, juicy finish. Sexy juice. |
