Michel Gros Richebourg Grand Cru 2022
POA Wine Safari Score: 95-97/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A newly inherited 0.41-hectare plot yielding 6 barrels of one of the most coveted and treasured Pinot Noirs crus in Burgundy.
Young Pinot Noir can smell almost sweet, redolent with freshly crushed raspberries, cherries and redcurrants. When mature, the best wines develop a sensuous, silky mouth feel with the fruit flavours deepening and gamey "sous-bois" nuances emerging.

POA 93-95, Neal Martin, November 2023. The 2022 Echezeaux Les Loachausses Grand Cru is the maiden release from a 0.38-hectare strip that hitherto was part of the cuvee produced by Gros Frere & Soeur and is matured in 100% new oak.

90-93, Allen Meadows, Burghound. Tasted: Jan 10, 2024. An admirably discreet dollop of wood is present on the spicier broad-ranging nose of red and black pinot fruit, plum and exotic tea scents.
Wine Safari Score: 93-94+/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A serious expression from Clos de Vougeot using 100% new French oak, is packed full of graphite and smoky limestone minerality, picante bramble berry fruits and spicey black plum.

91-93, Neal Martin, November 2023. The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaliots comes from a single plot below Les Poirets. It opens with crushed strawberry and cranberry fruit, dried violets and touches of incense. It just needs a little more delineation.
Wine Safari Score: 90-92/100 Greg Sherwood MW. On the southern side of Gevrey, this classical wine shows blood and earthy meaty red fruits, sour plum and strawberry compote nuances.
91-93, Neal Martin, November 2023. The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis En la Rue Vergy bides its time in the glass, opening with scents of cranberry, white-tipped strawberry and some black fruit, a deft touch of tobacco in the background.
84-86, Neal Martin, November 2023. The 2022 Bourgogne Cote d'Or has a perfumed nose, maraschino cherries mixed with mulberry and a touch of orange zest. The palate is sweet on the entry, with low acidity, quite fleshy and dense.
86-89, Allen Meadows, Burghound. Tasted: Jan 10, 2024. Tasting note: A more elegant and slightly cooler nose reflects lightly spiced fruit that derives more from the red side of the spectrum.
Wine Safari Score: 91-93+/100 Greg Sherwood MW. Mostly sourced from a climat called Les Argillieres (66%). The aromatics are fine and beautifully perfumed, elegantly red fruited and attractive with pink flowers, red cherry fruits and an attractive pink musk spice.
