Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good medium red. Crushed cherry and spicy oak on the nose, despite the fact that this wine is aging entirely in once-used barrels. Creamy-sweet, verging on liqueur-like, wit...

Wine Spectator: Shows a lightly firm plum skin edge, with a briary feel to the pomegranate, black cherry pepper and tobacco notes. A tangy iron edge peeks through on the finish, with the bria...

Wine Enthusiast: Wood and ripe fruit flavors drive this explosively fruity wine. Its richness is balanced by the acidity from green apple and lime fruits. Spice from the wood aging adds piquan...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright, dark red. Medicinal black cherry, mocha and mint on the nose, accented by herbs and pepper. At once sweet and a bit medicinal on the palate, with roasted red be...

Wine Spectator: A floral note winds through this balanced Champagne, which offers flavors of yellow apple, white raspberry, honey and candied lemon zest. Modest, minerally finish. Not importe...

Wine Enthusiast: There is no question this is a food Champagne. Its fine ripe character balances the Deutz elegance with the addition of dense red fruits and just a touch of orange zest and sp...

Wine Spectator: A solid wine, with berry, cherry, mineral and floral character. Full-bodied, with super well-integrated tannins and a medium finish. Gorgeous Margaux from a "garage" in the re...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Wild aromas of black cherry, mocha and game, lifted by minerals and menthol. Silky and thick but given shape by firm acidity and minerality. Like the Vosne villages, this is...

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: 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: 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: 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...

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...

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 red. Ripe strawberry and rose petal on the perfumed, slightly liqueur-like nose, with a peachy nuance emerging with aeration. Plush, sweet and vibrant, with terrif...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full red. Knockout nose combines pure red fruits, mocha, rose petal, red licorice and sexy oak tones, plus a hint of peach. Urgent and highly concentrated, offering an ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright medium red. Expressive aromas of redcurrant, menthol, truffley earth and spicy oak. Supple, sweet and deep, with a wonderfully silky texture but also excellent inner-...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good deep red. Red fruits, minerals, mint, licorice and a whiff of resin on the nose; also oakier than the Clos de la Roche. Quite velvety in the middle, conveying a solid s...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Full red. Deep, youthfully reticent aromas of red fruits and cocoa powder. Richer and deeper than the 2008 but much less expressive today and a bit more angular. Surprising...
