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...

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: 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: Dark fruit flavors of black currant and blackberry grace this velvety red, whose dusty tannins and acidity keep it focused and lingering. Balanced in a large-scaled way, with ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Dark red. Chocolatey oak, caramel and coffee on the rather anonymous, slightly warm nose, with an exotic aspect. Sweet and creamy but a bit chunky in texture, with very ripe h...

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: 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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Pure, bright but reticent aromas of black cherry, menthol, licorice and wild herbs; very Clos Vougeot! Silky on entry, then fresh and firm, with black cherry, mi...

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...

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: 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 ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Corton-Cuvee de Bourdon is a freakish, dark wine endowed with loads of jammy fruit, white flowers, licorice and spices. It is a sumptuous, even extreme wine that is n...

Jancis Robinson: Not racked. Just out of new barrel. Lovely sweet fruit and just needs a bit of time to absorb the oak. Lovely stuff. Great hedonistic purple-fruit flavours. He says `wait at l...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

Wine Spectator: Dark and polished to a high gleam of black cherry, blackberry, vanilla and smoky toast aromas and flavors. Unabashedly modern, yet also delicious for its pure fruit notes and ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Corton-Cuvee de Bourdon is a freakish, dark wine endowed with loads of jammy fruit, white flowers, licorice and spices. It is a sumptuous, even extreme wine that is n...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full medium red. Very closed but deep nose hints at wild raspberry. Large-scaled, rich and sweet, with terrific creamy depths even if it's not yet expressing itself. Boas...
