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: 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...

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 Crushed black cherry and violet on the withdrawn, slightly medicinal nose; like the Clos de Beze, this shows the cool side of the vintage.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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Mazoyeres-Chambertin boasts a haunting, impossibly elegant bouquet. Hints of dark cherry, espresso, licorice and spice develop in the glass, adding considerable depth...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Charmes-Chambertin (from a parcel in Mazoyeres) possesses fabulous energy and intensity in a style that is at once powerful yet feminine. Intense layers of mineral-in...

Wine Spectator: Shy in aroma and linear in profile, this packs cherry, currant, pomegranate and stony flavors into a lean frame. Persistent, lingering on the finish, with echoes of sweet red ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: (true Charmes, from vines planted north-south right below Chambertin): Bright deep red with ruby highlights. Musky, meaty, reduced nose hints at minerals and dried rose ("th...

Burghound: Here too there is a background application of wood that is sufficiently subtle so as to allow the expressive nose of plum, earth, wild dark berries and forest floor aromas to ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright, deep red. Very deep aromas and flavors of raspberry, redcurrant, smoke and crushed rock. At once penetrating and utterly fine-grained; explosive sappy perfume fills ...

Burghound: Subtle wood frames the ripe and spicy purple fruit aromas that exude fine nuances of both soil and stone. There is excellent power to the robust and broad-scaled flavors that ...

Wine Spectator: Silky texture envelops the black cherry, floral and licorice flavors in this lush red. The base of dusty tannins is covered by flesh. Very harmonious, revealing plenty of powe...

About this Wine: To the Eye : Everything depends on the vintage and the age of the bottle. A Richebourg can be a velvety ruby colour or a dark nocturnal red, shading towards blackish purple. T...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: (Meo bought two small parcels of 50-to-60-year-old vines last year in this mostly south-facing grand cru, enough to make three barrels in 2009) Good deep red. Slightly high-to...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: ...Musky, wild aromas of raspberry, game, animal fur, chicory and roast coffee. Silky-sweet, very rich and full, with firm minerality giving the wine an impression of energy. ...

John Gilman: It is always a good sign when the Drouhins decide to bottle their les Baudes on its own, rather than blend it into the Chambolle "Premier Cru" bottling, as this wine is only b...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright, dark red. Medicinal black cherry, mocha and mint on the nose, accented by herbs and pepper. At once sweet and a bit medicinal on the palate, with roasted red be...

Wine & Spirits: Drou-hin owns two parcels, a total of 2.25 acres, in Clos de Vougeot on a slight incline facing east. In 2010, this was vinified with a large portion of whole bunches, the vin...
