BEAUJOLAIS LAURENT PERRACHON VIEILLES VIGNES FLEURIE 2023 AOC

BURGUNDY DOMAINE DU BEAUREGARD CUVÉE ORIGINE BOURGOGNE PINOT NOIR 2023 AOC

CHÂTEAU PLAISANCE BORDEAUX SUPÉRIEUR 2019 AOC

... There is good lift on the nose with heightened peony florality, raspberry, fresh cedar and basil. It is medium-full bodied, fairly plush and dense yet nicely structured, with quite gritty somewhat green and bitter tannin. Give it three years; should last beyond 2030. The length is excellent. Tasted April 2023. Score: 91 (David Lawrason, winealign.com)

(Translated from the French): The Cuvée Origine Red Burgundy 2023 displays intense aromas (redcurrant, blackberry), a hint of spice and savoury tannins. All at once fleshy and hedonistic, it shows typicity and is full of nuances on the palate. Score: 90 ( Guide Dussert-Gerber des vins de France , 2026)
