Average Critic Score: 91.3/100
Now much softer, these are very different wines to those I tasted a decade ago, more terroir expression, more red rather than black fruit, less gloss, less weight but more transparency. I much prefer the style that he makes these days and even though I felt a couple of cuvées displayed some over-ripeness, generally, these come highly recommended.

“The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis en la Rue de Vergy has a more introspective nose than last year and demands coaxing, reluctantly revealing black plum and raspberry scents, hints of Earl Grey and a light marine influence. The palate is beautifully balanced with impressive red cherry and wild strawberry notes, gentle grip and a judicious touch of pepper on the finish. This is a level-up from the previous vintage. Drink 2026-2039.”

“From 55-year-old vines. Crimson ruby in colour, while the use of 70% whole bunches adds to a volatile lift on the nose. A deep red berry fruit with a saline, hillside finish, limestone and whole bunches working in harness. Drink from 2029-2034.”
91 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound
“Once again there is a vaguely liqueur-like character to the aromas of dark currant, spice and abundant floral elements, especially violet and lilac. The mouthfeel of the lighter weight flavors is also super-sleek and beautifully detailed with more evident minerality suffusing the balanced and impressively long finale. Lovely. Drink through 2031+.”
