Red Wine from Cote De Beaune

Burghound, 92 points: A cool, pure and airy nose offers up restrained essence of red pinot fruit aromas where additional breadth is present in the form of floral, spice and soft earth nuances. There is fine richness to the delicious and...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: The 2018 les Lavières from Guillaume Camus is a gorgeous wine in the making. The bouquet is pure, elegant and potentially sappy, offering up a nascently complex blend of red and black cherries, plums, dark chocolate...

View From The Cellar, 93 points: The 2018 Camus-Bruchon Gravains is also a lovely wine in the making, with its nose quite expressive at the time of my visit, but the palate still a bit reserved and hunkered down. The bouquet delivers plenty of refinement...

View From The Cellar, 92 points: 92+ The 2017 Gravains from Monsieur Camus was raised in fifty percent new oak this year, which is higher than normal for this bottling, but all of the new wood was the aforementioned five hundred liter barrels, so the...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: Narbantons, with its northeasterly exposition, was probably one of the more favored vineyards in the village in 2018, and the Camus-Bruchon version is stellar. The great nose wafts from the glass in a classic blend of...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: (91-94 points) The 2013 Corton “Bressandes” from Domaine Chandon de Briailles had also finished up its malo in mid-summer and was showing pretty well at the time of my visit. The deep, pure and black fruity bouquet offers...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Pure, evoking black cherry, black currant and floral aromas and flavors. Rich and dense, yet set on a lithe frame, with fine grip to the aftertaste of lingering fruit, mineral and spice. Shows lovely harmony. Best from...

View From The Cellar, 91 points: The 2014 Aloxe-Corton from Domaine Rollin Père et Fils is also an excellent bottle in the making, offering up a nascently complex bouquet of red and black cherries, venison, iron soil tones, woodsmoke, coffee and a nice...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 92 points: (90-92 points) Slightly lighter in colour than his Beaune Epenotes, with just a gentle red fruit nose - but then an absolute explosion of fruit on the palate, with seamless tannins. There is a wonderful finish to this...

Burghound, 92 points: Liqueur-like aromas of ripe black cherry, red currant, tea and discreet spice elements are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The wonderfully seductive and generously proportioned flavors deliver sneaky good length on...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Initial aromas of earth and garlic blow off on the palate, but there are black cherry, black currant, violet and sandalwood notes that build to a long finish. Ripe and well-oaked, yet balanced and expressive. This red is...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 94 points: (91-94 points) 30 year old vines from first class massale selection. Dominique tells me that there are very many small stones here despite it being theoretically a clay rich site. Glorious purple. Svelte luxury strawberry...

Burghound, 90 points: (BH88-90 points) A distinctly cool nose presents a pretty combination of red cherry, black raspberry and lavender scents that are liberally laced with earth hints. There is excellent intensity and minerality to the...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 93 points: (91-93 points) Glowing bright purple. This has a superb nose with vivid lively raspberry fruit, fresh, after which I am expecting good acidity and getting it. Classic balance here, really intense fruit without a sensation...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 93 points: (91-93 points) Old vines. Medium deep pink purple. Fine nose with more muscle than Epenottes. Darker fruit, more muscle but the tannins are well integrated. Good length. And still pleasingly understated.

Burghound, 91 points: Here the expressive if cool nose offers another step up in both elegance and complexity offering as it does notes of red currant, cassis, anise and spiced tea. There is a finer mouth feel to the more mineral-inflected...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 92 points: Fine even purple, minor reduction, good intensity on the palate. This is really quite backward but for the very good reason that the weight of fruit is all at the finish.
