Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Cuvee Le Petit Arlot comes across as deep and muscular. Layers of dark cherry and plum lead to menthol, spices and minerals blossoming on the palate...

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. ...

Burghound: This is notably more refined aromatically than the Beaux Bruns with a pure and relatively high-toned nose composed primarily of various red berries with hints of plum and viol...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright medium red. Lively aromas of redcurrant, red cherry and pepper, plus a whiff of game. Shows strong graphite and pepper notes in the mouth, but the wine's fruit is cur...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Pommard Combes-Dessus is wonderfully juicy in its expressive red fruit. This is perhaps the most supple, forward and engaging of the domaine's 2010s at this stage, wh...

Wine Spectator: The generous ripe plum and blackberry fruit is intense and vivid. The texture offers the raw graininess of youth, ending with firm tannins. Drink now through 2022.- J.L.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The medium to dark ruby-colored 1997 Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Narbantons possesses a dense, backward, sur-maturite fruit-laden nose. On the palate, it is stuffed with baked blac...

Wine Spectator: Tight and fresh, with vivid wild berry and raspberry character that's pure and spicy, with a stemmy edge, yet it works well, as the fruit density and tannins fold together in ...

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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Moderately saturated medium red. Oaky aromas of redcurrant, smoke and tobacco. Tactile, saline and a bit youthfully clenched, with the wine's oak element currently suppressi...

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...

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...

James Suckling: Pure fruit with strawberry and flowers. Very aromatic undertones of lemon rind. Full body with firm and lightly chewy tannins. Wonderful tannin tension to the fruit. Keeps it ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. High-toned, expressive aromas of red fruits, flowers, spices, earth, meat and nutty oak. Silky, spicy and pungent, with lively flavors of strawberry, cranberry and...

Burghound: Note: from vines situated in En Orveaux planted in 1923, 1947, 1964 and 1979 totaling .56 ha. As is it in 2010, this is notably riper with spicy aromas of dark berry and viole...

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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright ruby-red. Fresh red berries and star anise on the assertively perfumed nose, with a suave floral quality adding complexity. Juicy, palate-coating strawberry and raspb...

Jancis Robinson: Leaf-mould nose that is most attractive. Racy and lively. Bone-dry finish. Needs to take on a bit more fat before it's seductive. But it is much fleshier than the 1993. Drink ...
