85-87, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Bourgogne Cote d'Or comes from Pommard and Volnay and is de-stemmed, aged in used 600-liter barrels. It offers redcurrant, cranberry and briar scents, well defined. The palate has a pleasing fleshy entry with mulberry and touches of dried herbs.
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: 91-92+/100 Greg Sherwood MW. Made from a blend of three separate plots, this Nuits is deep, dark and broody, a very serious offering with layers of savoury black fruits and a smoky graphite minerality.
2019 saw a cold winter with some snow, but rarely sub-zero temperatures. When spring came it gave a dry March and adequate rain in April and May.
Bordeaux... prepared like a Grand Cru. JAMES SUCKLING 93/100: "A delicious, savory red with blackcurrant, chocolate and cedar aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied with fine, round tannins. Fresh and bright. It opens at the end and becomes chewy and intense."
A wine — structured, complex and delicious — to enjoy today
94 pts, Monica Larner – robertparker.com. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino offers sweet fruit with lots of bright cherry and redcurrant. This Brunello reveals medium-rich concentration and an opulent mouthfeel with a smooth or almost creamy quality of fruit.
*All prices in bond* 88-90 pts, 3 stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Brisk lively purple with a much more classy pinot bouquet. Raspberry with cherry in the background and this kicks on as it should, with a generous layer of red fruit at the back of the palate. Slightly dry finish nonetheless. Drink from 2027-2030.
*All prices in bond* 87 - 89 pts 3 stars Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Mid crimson red and paler at the rim. Not much bouquet. The fruit reappears on the palate, but a little astringent behind. Fairly typical village Aloxe. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted: October 2023.
*DUTY PAID* Score: 88-90 points, Jasper Morris for Inside Burgundy and 89 - 91 Points, Neal Martin for Vinous.

“The 2019 vintage of Las Pizarras Chardonnay shines with its bright yellow-straw colour with beautiful green hues. On the nose, it delivers notes of citrus fruits, complemented by some floral touches framed by soft tones of almonds and a delicate note of honey.
