Wine Spectator: Pretty black currant and floral aromas and flavors lead off in this supple Nuits, which has a solid base of tannins, but balances all the elements well. The long, fruit-filled...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good deep red-ruby. Reduced aromas of blackberry, licorice and smoke. Fat and sweet but reduced, with broad, rich dark fruit and licorice flavors nicely framed by harmonious...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Clos de Vougeot is gorgeous. It boasts impeccable textural finesse in its dark red cherries, flowers, mint and licorice. I especially like its energy. This is another...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Baudes is one of the more open, radiant wines in this lineup. There is an unabashed sexiness to the fruit that is quite beautiful. This shows su...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright, deep red. Reticent aroma of medicinal dark fruits and menthol. In a distinctly backward, dry, savory style; full-bodied, masculine wine, a bit cool in the conte...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright, deep red. Cherry, rose petal, mocha and game on the nose, plus a hint of metallic minerality. Dense, sappy and youthfully tight; less expansive today than the E...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright, medium red. Red cherry, redcurrant, smoke and white pepper on the nose, complemented by mellow oak tones. Rich, dense and silky, with a dominant flavor of sweet...

About this Wine: To the Eye: A pure bright deep red, truly stunning. Clear and limpid, the shifting colour nuances of the Grands Echezeaux often vary, though generally tending towards fairly d...

Wine Enthusiast: Big and concentrated, this is packed with tannins and solid dark fruits. It's powerful with a dark plum flavor and an impressive density of texture. Give it at least 7-10 year...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good dark red. Quite closed on the nose, hinting at black cherry and resiny, vanillin oak. Large-scaled, broad and extremely young, saturating the palate with very pure, pri...

About this Wine: Clos de Vougeot grand cru wines are harmonious, round, generous, fleshy, ample, mellow, racy and elegant, in colour a deep rich ruby red.

The bouquet is of quite except...

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 ...

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: Good full, deep red. Cherry liqueur, red licorice, fresh herbs and menthol on the nose. Clenched and backward, with an austerity not shown by the preceding samples. The shy, m...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright, full red. High-toned aromas of peppery red fruits. Pliant, sweet and minerally, but with the wine's new oak component currently masking its underlying fruit. Ulti...

Wine Spectator: Lush and supple, this red offers macerated cherry, currant and spice flavors. This shows some heat on the finish, pulling it out of balance at this stage, and blunting the fin...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: As usual, from a combination of contract grapes and purchased wine (with the same sources here since 2003), the Camille Giroud 2008 Latricieres-Chambertin presents peat and bl...

Wine Spectator: A tight, linear style, with wild berry, cherry and herb notes around a mineral core. Firmly structured, with a sinewy profile and a dry finish. Best from 2013 through 2024. 22...
