Wine Enthusiast: Another very nice Chardonnay from Durell...with charred, buttered toast aromas and flavors dominating. But the underlying tropical fruit, orange cream and mineral flavors are ...

Wine Spectator: Very pure and precise, with racy, mouthwatering salted almond and peach pit notes along the edges, while green plum, Jonagold apple and white peach flavors course through the ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin La Perriere leans towards the more aromatic end of the spectrum. Pretty red fruit is laced throughout this wiry, energetic wine. Floral notes add li...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Morey St. Denis Vieilles Vignes is a gorgeous, striking wine. It exhibits notable density in a rich, yet weightless expression of fruit that is hard to fully capture ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Didiers is a beautiful, dense wine loaded with dark red fruit. It shows fabulous persistence through to the generous finish. This is quite power...

Wine Spectator: A spicy version, sporting cinnamon, clove, licorice and black cherry aromas and flavors. This is intense, verging on chewy in texture, with a firm underlying structure. Licori...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright dark red. Perfumed aromas of raspberry, kirsch and rose petal. Silky but youthfully tight and wound-up, with a strong stony minerality giving the wine real verve and gr...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: (As with the Cras, Meo buys grapes and does the vineyard work here, under a contract that Allexant described as "like a metayage or fermage") Good dark red. Ripe, fruit-domina...

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...

Wine Spectator: Firm in texture, with chewy tannins surrounding berry and violet flavors. Needs time to soften the edges. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2014 ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Palish red. Perfumed aromas of raspberry, cherry, coffee, spices, menthol and faded rose. Sweet and creamy but with an edge of acidity framing and carrying the attractive, m...

Wine Enthusiast: Very rich and opulent, in the Heidi Barrett style, this Cabernet is sweetly jammy but somewhat direct in blackberries, cherries and raspberries. The finish is extraordinarily ...

Wine Spectator: A ripe, flattering style, with lots of boysenberry, fig and raspberry preserves notes laced with toasted spice, fruitcake and licorice snap. Starts overt, but finely beaded ac...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Deep ruby. Potent aromas of dark berries and cherry, with a strong mineral element and notes of licorice and black tea. In a brooding style, with intense, mineral-accented b...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Very closed nose hints at orange, pear and flowers. Lemony and brisk in the mouth, with saline and stone notes currently dominating. Bright acidity verges on tart. This has...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: (this is actually from the premier cru Clos Blanc) Deep ruby-red, not as saturated as the Volnay premier crus. Wild, gamey aromas of dark berries and smoked meat. Rich, supple...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright, pale yellow. Exotic honeyed ripeness to the stone fruit aromas. Then rich and voluminous but classically dry in the mouth, less about primary fruits than about cherry-...

Chris Greene: Vivid straw hue. Smokey gun-flint aromas come to the fore, with coriander, chamomile and lemon verbena following. The entry opens with lemon curd, brioche and fresh herbs, wit...
