Burghound: This is the most complex of the three '09 grands crus with a penetrating and ripe nose of plum, pungent earth, game, black cherry and violets. The full-bodied, dense and overt...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Pinot Noir Dierberg Vineyard possesses remarkable depth and richness, not to mention terrific balance. Supple and generous, the 2009 offers up black cherries, mint, f...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full medium red. Strawberry, minerals and gunflint on the nose. Extremely suave for the vintage, and fuller than usual for this cuvee, offering sweet but crunchy flavor...

Burghound: ...the underlying fruit does appear ripe and this impression is corroborated by the clear phenolic maturity of the supporting structural elements that are firm but not hard on...

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: Dark ruby. Nervy, violets, fully developed and gorgeous. Sweet and maybe a bit too much for purists but it certainly delivers pleasure! Drink 2007 to 2017. 18 / 20

Jancis Robinson: Easy and round and seductive whiff. Roses and liquorice and pure pleasure even if not the freshest. Drink 2006 to 2018. 18 / 20

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 ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full, bright red. Highly expressive aromas and flavors of raspberry, crushed strawberry, smoke, mocha, pepper, herbs and spices. Sweet and lush in the mouth, with punge...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright ruby. Much more reticent on the nose and palate than the village wine, with a pronounced minerality to the blackberry and licorice components. Tightly wound but still v...

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...

Wine Spectator: Graceful and delicate, with tremendous purity, displaying a core of red raspberry coulis, cherry and pomegranate juice. Whiffs of white pepper and forest floor lend this som...

Wine Spectator: Light on its feet, with pretty strawberry and floral aromas and flavors in modest proportion, persisting nicely. Drink now through 2014. –HS

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: 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...

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 ...

Wine & Spirits: Woodland scents of tart cherries and black raspberries carry though this wine's lean texture, broadening out into a juicier finish. It has a gentle sophistication, clean, refi...
