Burghound: This offers a small step up in aromatic complexity with a layered nose of a variety of red berry fruits plus lovely violet hints that serve as a relatively refined introductio...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Red-ruby. Black cherry and licorice complicated by fresh herbs and pepper: classic cool year Clos Vougeot aromas. Juicy and tight, showing less ripeness and expansiveness than...

Wine Spectator: Though rich, this has a sinewy quality and a firm structure supporting its blackberry, black currant and violet aromas and flavors. Bright, fresh and still tight on the long f...

Burghound: This is also relatively wood-influenced as the oak sets off ripe but fresh aromas of plum, spice and earth, all of which continue onto the powerful and well-muscled middle wei...

Burghound: I very much like the nose of this wine as it's classic Morey but elegant and quite pure with moderately earthy wild red berry fruit aromas that convey a subtle sense of the sa...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: At close to 50 years, the vines that inform Chauvenet's 2008 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Chaignots are the oldest sources for any of his crus. Smoky black tea, star anise, black pep...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Fresh plum and plum distillate tinged with ginger and white pepper pungently scent the Pavelot 2008 Savigny-les-Beaune Gravains, and these are allied on a bright, lean, yet ph...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright red. Musky huckleberry, blueberry, dried flowers and earth on the captivating nose and palate. Sweet, supple and aromatic, with a delicate, fine-grained texture ...

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...

About this Wine: Nuits St Georges wines make you long to bite into them. Although their name evokes twilight and nightfall, these premier crus have a fairly vigorous nature, hard while immatur...

Burghound: Moderate wood frames fresh red and dark berry fruit that carries ample Gevrey-style earth and underbrush influence, both of which continue onto the robust, fresh and admirably...

Burghound: Light wood influence does not interfere with the ultra fresh and complex nose featuring notably sauvage red and dark pinot fruit aromas cut with plenty of warm earth nuances t...

Wine Spectator: A dark, almost brooding red, whose plum, black cherry and black currant fruit is sweet and permeating. Rich and supple, this picks up spice and mineral notes as it glides to t...

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...

Burghound: Here the wood is not subtle though it does not dominate the distinctly sauvage red currant and dark berry fruit aromas trimmed in earth and briar notes that are also reflected...

Wine Spectator: This is loaded with sweet fruit, verging on jammy, but there's a refreshing, racy side as well. So much so that the wine shuts down, though the lasting impression is sweet fru...

Burghound: A deft touch of wood adds nuance to the otherwise elegant and pure red and blue berry fruit aromas that display a lovely touch of violets that serve as a graceful introduction...

Jeff Loo: Crimson red color with very little variation. This just screams drink me now. Lush aromas of fresh strawberry, cherry, roasted pepper and crushed stones are complemented by s...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good dark red. Sexy, soil-driven aromas of raspberry, dried flowers, minerals, spices and mint. Suave on entry, then quite fine-grained in the mouth, conveying outstanding v...

Burghound: There is a hint of vegetal here that actually adds breadth to the sauvage, cool and wonderfully fresh and complex nose of red currants, earth and humus. The silky yet focused,...
