Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Damoy's 2008 Chambertin is a dazzling wine. The aromatics, fruit and structural components all come together beautifully in this silky, dramatic Burgundy. I especially like th...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good medium red. High-pitched aromas of black cherry, minerals and licorice. Precise and pure, with a juicy quality to the blackberry and violet flavors. Can't quite match ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes is an immediate wine. The aromatics alone are beautifully open and expressive. The fruit shows terrific delineation, depth and nuance wi...

Burghound: Note: from 40+ year old vines and 35% whole cluster fermentation in a small 100% new wood tank. Moderate wood sets off earthy purple fruit aromas that display a touch of the s...

Burghound: Note: from 20+ year old vines, fermented like the Clos de Vougeot. This is an extraordinarily ripe 2011 with notes of menthol, dried plum, spice, cassis and sauvage nuances. D...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright ruby. Vibrant raspberry and cherry aromas are complicated by Asian spices and candied rose. The palate offers lively red berry and bitter cherry flavors enlivened by n...

Wine Enthusiast: Firmly tannic and powerful, this is dominated by a plum skin texture and a spice note. It's dense and rich, with a dry structure and the acidity of the vintage showing on the ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good medium red. Musky aromas of cherry, menthol, mocha and meat. Sweet and seamless but energetic too, with ripe acidity keeping the flavors under wraps today. Finishes wi...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Palish red with a hint of evolution at the rim. Aromatic nose combines red cherry, strawberry, spices and flowers. Intensely flavored and approachable, with good intensity t...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright, dark red. Darker and more liqueur-like on the nose than the cuvee classique, offering aromas of black fruits, chocolate and mocha. Very ripe and rich, with the choco...

Burghound: Strong reduction again precludes a satisfactory examination of the aromas. By contrast to the funky nose there is excellent verve and freshness to the concentrated, detailed a...

Wine & Spirits: This 35-acre, mid-slope holding in the Clos des Mouches has been part of the Drouhin family domaine since the 1920s. Half pinot noir, it had been farmed organically since 1990...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Pure, bright but reticent aromas of black cherry, menthol, licorice and wild herbs; very Clos Vougeot! Silky on entry, then fresh and firm, with black cherry, mi...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good deep red. Red fruits, minerals, mint, licorice and a whiff of resin on the nose; also oakier than the Clos de la Roche. Quite velvety in the middle, conveying a solid s...

John Gilman: The Grands Echézeaux from Domaine Georges Noëllat is also produced from vines in excess of eighty years of age and the wine was raised all in new wood in 2010. This is a super...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Red-ruby. Crushed black cherry and violet on the withdrawn, slightly medicinal nose; like the Clos de Beze, this shows the cool side of the vintage. Less sweet and pliant than...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Perrot-Minot's 2008 Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes - racked to tank two weeks before I tasted it - smells of purple plum, dark cherry, and charred red meat. Graphite, crushed st...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full medium red. Captivating nose offers red fruits, flowers and minerals. Broad and full without showing any heaviness--and more savory than sweet--but utterly young n...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: (just one barrel; vinified with 50% whole clusters): Good full red. Sexy, perfumed aromas of blackberry, mocha, dried flowers and underbrush. Silky-sweet, creamy and stuffe...
