Red Wine from Beaune

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: The purity and beauty to this wine is certainly impressive with raspberry, blueberry and lavender aromas. Simple character on the palate with a full body, chewy and round tannins and a savory finish, leaving flint, dried...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: (JS 93-94 points) Dark fruits in 2016. The DNA of long, silky tannins is alive and well here. A suave and polished style with an attractive core of flavorsome, elegant mid-palate fruits. Really impressive. Try from 2022...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Drouhin's 2014 Beaune 1er Cru Blanc Clos des Mouches was showing strong hazelnut and smoke aromas, very Meursault-like in style with good intensity if not exuding the grace of...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is a pure and subtle red wine with strawberry, floral and mineral character. Full body, light tannins and a bright finish. Drink or hold.

Vinous, 92 points: (ST90-92 points) Good full red. Red berry, truffle and spice aromas show an almost liqueur-like sweetness. Lush, concentrated and sweet, with lovely depth and definition to the red fruit and spice flavors. This...

Vinous, 92 points: (ST90-92 points) Bright red-ruby. Redcurrant, leather and an intriguing floral note on the nose and palate. Sweet and quite concentrated, with a saline nuance and a suggestion of chocolate to the impressively rich...

Burghound, 94 points: (91-94) Here the nose is similar to the Bressandes though with more earth and spice elements. The notably rich, concentrated and overtly powerful broad-shouldered flavors possess a velvety texture and a markedly firm...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Real purity of fruit in this with bark, dried strawberry and dried lemon peel. Full-bodied, chewy and powerful. A wonderful wine for the vintage. Structured and enticing. Needs five to six years to soften.

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: (JS 92-93 points) Very attractive, brambly, spicy dark cherries and plums, delivering a mouthwatering appeal. The palate has a very dense core of dark cherries and plums, as well as deep-set tannins. Smooth and powerful...

Vinous, 91 points: (89-91) Dark red with ruby highlights. Sexy aromas of redcurrant, minerals and leather. Then youthfully clenched and tightly wound but not dry, with its medicinal cherry and licorice flavors joined on the end by a note of...

View From The Cellar, 90 points: (89-90) The 2013 Beaune “Teurons” from Domaine Rossignol-Trapet is really quite good, given the vagaries of the hail, and shows quite respectable energy levels. The wine was one hundred percent destemmed in this vintage...

Decanter, 93 points: The Grèves is excellent, opening in the glass with aromas of red and black fruit, pencil lead, forest floor, game bird and dried flowers. On the palate the wine is supple, full-bodied and glossy, its fine tannins cloaked...

Vinous, 92 points: (90-92 points) (50% of a normal crop): Bright medium red. Very ripe, musky aromas of raspberry, cherry, rose petal, smoke and leather. Fine-grained and sweet, with its red fruit and mineral flavors displaying lovely...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: Open and expressive, the 2009 Beaune Village wafts from the glass with aromas of cherries, redcurrants, espresso roast, dried ceps and grilled squab. On the palate, it's supple, silky and medium-bodied, with juicy acids...
