2015 Vosne-Romanée
Noëllat’s village Vosne features intense, long spicy red cherry fruit. 92/A
2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts
The excellent wine shows some oak still in the nose and mouth, but also intense spices to go with dark fruits and great penetration. 94/A
2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Boudots
From one of the most underrated vineyards in the Côte d’Or, this wine is dense with dark fruit, purity, roundness, and power. It is also balanced and shows excellent penetration. 94/A
2015 Grands-Echézeaux
Last, the Grands-Echézeaux has sandalwood aromas and flavors with dark fruits and a bit of licorice that is typical of the vineyard. It’s young but has a potentially great future. 95+/A
