Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Very fresh bright, dark red. Perfumed nose offers black raspberry, menthol and a whiff of meat. Fat, ripe, dense and rich but classically dry; this came across as a bit mono...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Combottes is a wonderfully complete Burgundy with superb delineation in its aromas and flavors. The intensity of the fruit carries through nicel...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes is an immediate wine. The aromatics alone are beautifully open and expressive. The fruit shows terrific delineation, depth and nuance wi...

Burghound: Discreet wood is almost lost on the densely fruited, closed and brooding nose of ripe red berry fruit liqueur, warm earth and anise. There is excellent freshness and verve to ...

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: (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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Deep ruby! Knockout high-pitched nose offers blackberry, dark raspberry, spices, licorice, bitter chocolate and violet, plus a note of crushed stone. Silky and highly concentr...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Mazoyeres-Chambertin is another reticent wine. This is a decidedly intense, powerful Mazoyeres that needs time to shed its baby fat. The aromatics are expressive and ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Charmes-Chambertin needs quite a bit of time in the glass to come together. Initially quite ripe and exotic, the Charmes gradually finds its balance. Still, my sense ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full red. Complex, expressive, soil-driven nose offers raspberry, cocoa powder, spices and flinty minerality. Sappy and sweet in the mouth, with a penetrating quality to ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good red color. Redcurrant, truffle, smoked meat and chocolate on the nose. At once liqueur-like and energetic, with solid saline extract leavening the red berry and chocola...

Burghound: A very pretty nose of discreet spice notes, red currants and damp earth nuances that continue onto the rich, powerful and impressively concentrated medium-bodied flavors bless...

About this Wine: To the Eye : Everything depends on the vintage and the age of the bottle. A Richebourg can be a velvety ruby colour or a dark nocturnal red, shading towards blackish purple. T...

Burghound: This is really quite fresh for the vintage with primarily red fruit and earth aromas preceding overtly muscular and big-bodied flavors that are robust and even mildly rustic, ...

Burghound: A fresh, pure and unusually elegant nose that is surprisingly high-toned features moderate amounts of earth on the otherwise largely red berry fruit aromas that are in keeping...

Burghound: Discreet but noticeable wood does not interfere with the clear expressiveness of the very fresh menthol, earth and red berry liqueur-like nose that gives way to rich, concentr...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Reticent but pure aromas of crushed stone, flowers and tobacco. Fat, silky, pliant and broad; not quite as gripping as the Echezeaux but plush and suave. Here the ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright, deep red. Very ripe aromas of cherry, mocha and licorice. Suave and vibrant on the palate, with noteworthy energy to its flavors of black cherry, minerals and licorice...
