"Medium red. Aromatic nose of currant, cherry, leather and game. Supple and ripe, with lively inner-mouth flavor. Good depth and intensity. Finishes with suave tannins and some persistence." 86-88 Steven Tanzer

2nd Wine of Lynch-Bages

"The 2017 Bourgogne Pressonier has an earthy bouquet, maybe just a little animally for my liking; the leathery notes occlude the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and fine acidity, and much fresher and more detailed than the aromatics. A hint of oyster shell appears on the finish." 88 Points Neal Martin

"The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a refined bouquet of wild strawberry and raspberry preserve aromas that are neatly entwined with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, crunchy red berry fruit laced with white pepper, and a precise, sustained, spicy finish. Very fine." 90 Points Neal Martin

"(a monopole that measures 2.15 ha). There is enough reduction to push the underlying fruit to the background for today. The graceful yet precise flavors brim with both underlying tension and minerality and possess that beguiling quality of inner mouth perfume before delivering the best length in the range on the youthfully austere finale. This is very clearly built-to-age and it’s going to need it; indeed I doubt that this will arrive at its peak much before it sees its 20th birthday. I would further observe that while this may not be the finest Ducster of the modern era, it should ultimately give both the 1999 and 2005 a run for their money, which indisputably puts it in elite company. *Don't miss! Outstanding*" 96 Points Allan Meadow

The 3 labels chez Boisson belie the fact the wines are identical. Ceated collaboratively at the family’s Meursault cellars. Pierre Boisson with his dad making the wines, which are amongst insiders - some of the smartest picks of the appellation. This Bourgogne Blanc is sourced from a variety of parcels all in the village of Meursault.

"The whites are a real tour-de-force with energy and extract but retaining a fabulous beam of life-giving acidity. I found the majority of the wines in the cellar exceptional – it is really a don’t miss address in 2015. Bill Nanson

In 1993 Robert Parker referred to their 1990 Reserve Pinot Noir as, "unquestionably one of the finest Pinot Noirs I have tasted from California."

"Coffee beans, rose hip, striking plum fruit show on the bouquet, with wet stones, mineral, “glimpses” of raspberry. This is a Real Rocker, highly provocative – it takes you on a tour of a hidden world of delights. The palate reveals beautiful dentelle qualities, with a really consistent, continuous run of fine content. There are absolutely no pauses or false steps. It is a light tread, tiptoe wine of great purity. You could travel far to find a better bouquet. It shows delicate flowers such as primrose on the aftertaste. It is still an STGT wine, has great balance. “Yields were small, ripening was correct enough. Once it was in bottle, it was not liked by commentators – it was very tannic and tight, but it’s starting to talk now,” Pierre Clape. 2033-36" ****** (6*) Jean Livingstone-Learmonth

"The bouquet is sunny, has a blackberry-prune lead aroma, a cosy fat mixed in with sweet spice. It’s not fully on the go – there is variety to come. For now, there are touches of iodine and road tar. The palate proceeds very serenely from the nose, with a rich centre, and a sparkling run of mineral towards the finish. Its abundance is well directed, and it closes on mineral-floral grip. Terroir is now coming back to prevail over vintage. This is stylish, well formed, most handsome. It has a wonderfully salted finish, and is working its way towards being an STGT wine." ***** John Livingstone-Learmonth

Mainly 1950 Syrah on Chaillot, this was Jean Lionnet's last vintage

"rather dark robe. Stalk, snap, red fruit aroma with touches of tea and mystery, keeps the mind busy. Slow-burn palate, has real good depth and grain. It is very strong on its texture and its typical, quite firm closure. True, local wine, with a great next five years ahead of it. The palate debut is excellent, offers really fine red fruit. It ends on a cautious, partly dry note, but it is wide there as well. It has aged extremely well. 2020-21" ***** John Livingstone-Learmonth

"There are under 200 cases of the 2014 Côte-Rôtie Reserve, which got all the grapes that would normally go into the Lancement and Belle Helene cuvées. Its deep ruby color is followed by a layered, complex, medium-bodied and nicely concentrated red that has terrific notes of dried flowers, blackcurrants, blackberries, black olives and Asian spices. Its tannin quality it first rate, and this classic 2014 has both elegance and richness. Drink it anytime over the coming decade or more.” 93 Points Jeb Dunnock
