A masterpiece of Burgundian viticulture, the Harmand Geoffroy Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques 2017 embodies the producer's remarkable command over the terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin. Renowned for transforming complex geological strata into a symphony of flavour, Harmand Geoffroy harvested the ripe fruit for this vintage of Pinot Noir with great precision. The wine was traditionally vinified, using wild yeast for fermentation, and expertly matured in French oak to accentuate its distinguished profile. The enticing bouquet unravels luscious notes of black cherry, raspberry, and underlying hint of earthiness, reminiscent of the estate's clay-limestone soils. The mature palate mirrors these aromas, further enriched by vibrant acidity and sophisticated tannins. The Harmand Geoffroy Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques 2017 truly is a testament to the artful finesse of this accomplished vigneron, from one of Burgundy's most revered Premier Cru vineyards. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Trilogie, which includes 25% whole bunch fruit from vines that tend to suffer millerandage, offers vivacious dark cherry and raspberry coulis scents on the nose.

Wine Advocate (95)A stunning bouquet of raspberries, rose petals, blood orange and sweet soil tones, deftly framed by a subtle touch of new oak, introduces Mugnier's 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses, a medium to full-bodied, supple and expansive wine framed by filigree tannins and racy acids, exemplifying the ideal of intensity without weight. Long and precise, this isn't as structured as the 2016 or 2015 renditions, and it will be open for business sooner. But the 2017 Amoureuses looses very little by comparison with those two brilliant wines. |

James Suckling (99)There is ripeness and opulence to this, in an almost exotic and sassy way. Crushed berries with chocolate and spice. Floral and cashmere undertones. This starts off slowly and just rolls off the palate with beautifully polished tannins and a salty, minerally note to the long, extended tannins. Really brilliant. So classy. Structured. Try after 2025. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2017 Chablis Butteaux 1er Cru is bright and floral, with striking aromatic lift to play off the rich, dense fruit. Bright saline notes give the wine energy, tension and structure. Time in the glass brings out more tropical notes. This is a wine of extraordinary precision, lift and verve as well as tremendous aromatic presence. |

The Wine Cellar Insider (99)Truffle, Cuban cigar wrapper, exotic spice, licorice and lilacs create the complex set of aromatics. Powerful yet poised, rich and fresh, dense and velvety, the finish remains with you for close to 60 seconds. The end notes deliver spicy, silky, creamy tannins, ripe, dark plums and darker red fruits that fill the palate. The wine is structured with all the right stuff to age for decades. Produced from 100% Merlot, the harvest started September 8, finishing September 28. The wine reached 14.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.6 . This is the wine of the vintage |
