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: Good full medium red. Captivating nose offers red fruits, flowers and minerals. Broad and full without showing any heaviness--and more savory than sweet--but utterly young n...

About this Wine: As I have written many times, all of these wines are produced from rigidly cultivated, bio-dynamically managed vineyards. That has been the rule since Michel Chapoutier fi...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good medium red. High-pitched aromas of black cherry, minerals and licorice. Precise and pure, with a juicy quality to the blackberry and violet flavors. Can't quite match ...

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: Fresh and aromatic, exhibiting floral, berry, eucalyptus and spice flavors before the tough tannins take over. Powerful and muscular, this closes down on the finish. The mos...

Wine Spectator: Bursting with cherry, raspberry and licorice aromas and flavors, this pretty red is not without density, with dusty tannins and bright acidity keeping it focused. Offers fine ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Pale, bright yellow. Reticent nose hints at lemon and baked bread. Rich, powerful and dry, with terrific depth to its lemon, white peach and stone flavors. A densely packed...

About this Wine: In 1886, high in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the Monte Bello estate vineyard was planted, and the winery constructed. A first vintage from the young vines followed in 1892. Duri...

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...

Wine Enthusiast: A rich and sophisticated wine, with loads of dark fruit and exotic spice. It's bright ruby-garnet appearance, with bright acidity and a fresh, lively finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The NV Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru, from the Les Crayeres lieu-dit in Ambonnay, is one of Champagne's great wines when it is on, as it is here. Given the relatively recent d...

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 ...

About this Wine: As I have written many times, all of these wines are produced from rigidly cultivated, bio-dynamically managed vineyards. That has been the rule since Michel Chapoutier fi...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright ruby. High-pitched red berry and floral aromas show very good intensity and a sexy spicecake nuance. Juicy, penetrating and seamless, offering vibrant raspberry and c...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Vivid ruby. An exotically nose evokes cherry compote, blackberry and smoky Indian spices. Fleshy, sweet and concentrated, with a distinctly spicy quality to it dark berry fl...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Chassagne-Montrachet La Truffiere shows lovely tension and pure, lively minerality. This is one of the brighter more focused of the 2009s here, but there is plenty of...

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: 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,...
