Domaine Daniel et Julien Barraud Pouilly Fuissé 1er Cru La Maréchaude 'Clos la Verchère' 2022NM93-95VM93-95$49.98Availability:In Stock93-95 Points! The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Clos la Verchère La Maréchaude 1er Cru comes from limestone and marn soils that Julien Barraud explained are structured like a millefeuille for six meters, ergo, very resistant to hydric stress. This has a precise and focused bouquet with yellow fruit, lanolin, desiccated orange peel and pressed white flower scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a very elegant opening. The purity is striking, with perfectly pitched acidity and a persistent, quite mineral-driven finish. This will be irresistible, yet it will age for many years. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Chateau de la Tour Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2015BH95VM95$399.98Availability:In Stock95 Points! From vines that were planted in 1910. This is aromatically similar to the regular cuvée but there is notably more concentration, power and dry extract to the broad-shouldered flavors that pushes the very firm tannic spine to the background on the hugely long, palate coating and driving finish. This opulently full-on effort is a manifestly old school Clos de Vougeot that is not only very much built-to-age but is going to require lots of it. In a word, excellent. - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Maison Champy Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc 1er Cru En Caradeux 2020JS95$74.98Availability:In Stock95 Points! Fascinating nose of fresh hazelnuts and walnuts with just a hint of citrus. A rich and complex wine for this appellation, but with the typical, lively acidity alongside the melted-butter character. The excellent tannin structure interlocks with the chalky minerality beautifully at the very long, powerful finish. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com

Bruno Lorenzon Mercurey 1er Cru Les Champs Martin Cuvee Carline 2020WA93-95+$99.98Availability:In Stock93-95+ Points! The 2020 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos de Champs Martin Cuvée Carline unwinds in the glass with a deep bouquet of wild berries, vine smoke, raw cocoa, cloves, anise and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's layered and complete, with a tightly wound core of vibrant fruit framed by beautifully refined tannins and concluding with a long, saline finish. Less demonstrative than its 2019 and 2018 predecessors, I suspect it will emerge as the finest of the trilogy in the fulness of time, but it will require patience. - William Kelley, robertparker.com

The 2020 Mercurey 1er Cru Les Champs Martin unwinds in the glass with scents of freshly baked bread, wet stones, white currants, confit citrus and crisp green orchard fruit. Full-bodied, ample and seamless, it's layered and racy, with broad shoulders, bright acids and a long, mineral finish. Its elegant profile belies considerable reserves of chalky structuring extract that will make this a wine for the long haul. - William Kelley, robertparker.com

Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots du Milieu 1er Cru 2020WA93-95NM92-94VM92-94$199.98Availability:In Stock93-95 Points! The 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu is excellent, wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of wild berries, plums and cassis mingled with hints of spices, grilled meats and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and tightly wound, with powdery structuring tannins and lively acids. This is a serious Santenots that will require some bottle age, and it's among the best that I can remember tasting chez Lafon over the last decade. - William Kelley, robertparker.com

Henri Magnien Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers 2021BH92-94NM93-95VM93-95$138.98Availability:In Stock92-94 Points! from a large 1.48 ha holding with vines that run from the bottom to the top of the vineyard...This is also mildly toasty on the cool, pure and restrained dark wild currant aromas that are even more markedly sauvage. There is superb delineation to the tautly muscular flavors that are shaped by sleek fine-grained tannins on the youthfully austere and powerful but not rustic finale that offers another dimension of depth. Excellent. Sweet Spot Outstanding. - Allen Meadows, Burghound #89

This is a quintessential, zinging Bonnes-Mares, very well crafted and with impressive persistence on the finish., Vinous Media

Matured with 20% whole bunch and the same level of new oak, the 2018 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru has an elegant, refined bouquet that gradually unfurls to reveal blackberry, briar and light wild strawberry scents, the stems lending a little pepperiness.
