Domaine Jean-Marc Millot — Nuits St.-Georges
The winery and cellars are in ancient Nuits St.-Georges, and Jean-Marc Millot's 17 acres of vineyard holdings are concentrated in Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot, and Echezeaux. Jean-Marc took over the domaine in 1990, but has had most of the Grand Cru sites since only 1998. (His wife was an heir to the old Louis Gouroux domaine.) His wines are the epitome of elegance, purity, and understatement, with a beautiful sense of finesse, harmony and overall balance.

2006 Côte de Nuits-Villages “Aux Faulques” $28 >>
- “A 4.4 acre Monopole in Comblanchien. A very fresh nose of earthy dark berry fruit that offers up distinct animale and underbrush notes and leads to sweet, delicious and firm but not aggressive flavors underpinned by slightly rustic tannins and good length. Solid quality. (86-88)/2011+”
2006 Vosne-Romanée (only 2 barrels produced) $49 >>
2006 Vosne-Romanée – “Les Suchots” Premier Cru $78 >>
- “(from a .29 ha parcel raised in 25% new wood). A spicy red and black berry fruit nose where the spice component is picked up on the supple, forward and fresh light to medium weight flavors supported by buried tannins and fine length on the linear and detailed finish. This is very much in the Millot style, which is lighter but focused wines that deliver real flavor impact. (88-90)/2012+” >>
2006 Echezeaux Grand Cru $89 >>
- “(2.59 acres total from parcels in Echézeaux du Dessus, Poulaillères and Clos St. Denis measuring 1.17, .49 and .39 acres, respectively). This too is very fresh and bright with a darker fruit profile nuanced with an ample array of spice elements including soy, clove and anise that introduce racy, pure and punchy middle weight flavors that possess excellent depth and again, impressive flavor impact on the harmonious and wonderfully long finish. (90-92)/2013+”
2006 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru $95 >>
- “From less than 1 acre in the Grand Maupertuis section of the Clos … Mild reduction cannot completely hide the earthy and spicy dark berry fruit aromas that possess plenty of underbrush, forest floor and sauvage nuances that continue onto the rich, full and sweet flavors that are more elegant and refined than the typical example of Clos de Vougeot, all wrapped in a slightly austere finale of excellent length. This is a Clos de Vougeot of finesse, which is relatively rare. (90-92)/2014+”
2006 Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru $120 >>
- From a tiny .49 acre parcel - 5 cases imported. Not surprisingly, this is the most complete wine in the group with its classy and ripe spicy blue fruit and cassis-infused nose that slides seamlessly into rich, pure and nicely concentrated flavors that possess terrific depth and length. It’s interesting because while this has the best raw materials, it also just has that extra element of breed which sets it apart from the other wines more than the simple differential in qualitative terms. (91-93)/2014+”
