Red Wine from Cote De Beaune

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, 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, 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...

View From The Cellar, 93 points: The Clos du Roi vineyard is a bit warmer microclimate than most of the Savigny premier crus, so I wondered if this would be the one wine in the Camus-Bruchon lineup that showed a bit more of the super ripeness of the 2018...

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...

Burghound, 95 points: (92-95 points) A notably ripe yet attractively fresh nose is comprised by notes of exuberantly floral, spice, plum liqueur and relatively prominent menthol influences. The wonderfully sleek, concentrated and intensely...

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...

Wine & Spirits, 90 points: With all of its supple black cherry and sweet plum brightness, this lasts on smoky, spicy tannins. It’s powerful, a little syrupy in its ripeness, ready to bring its fruit to roast duck.

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: Lush in texture and balanced on the soft side, this red displays black cherry, blackberry, violet and earth flavors. Terrific harmony and a long, complex finish of fruit and mineral. Will be approachable in the short...

Decanter, 95 points: When people think of a classic Pommard, they invariably point to Les Rugiens-Bas, widely regarded as the village's Grand Cru in waiting. This is a structured, savoury, typically ferrous expression of the terroir that sees...

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...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Intense aromas of black cherry, pomegranate and tamarind mark this juicy red. Smooth, with well-integrated tannins lending a dusty feel as the finish plays out. Already harmonious, this should develop well over the next...

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...

Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: Packed with fruit as well as rich wood and smoke flavors, this wine is still young but has potential. Ripe berry fruits will come together well as the wine moves into the next stage. Drink from 2023. ROGER VOSS

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (92 - 94+ points) Lafon's finest red this year is, as usual, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu, a wine that combines the finesse of the Clos des Chênes with the power and depth of the Champans. Exhibiting a...

Decanter, 94 points: Always picked early at De Montille because it sits against the heat-reflecting wall on the north side of Les Grands Epenots. This is another impressive Pommard from Brian Sieve and his team: floral, textured and...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 95 points: (92-95 points) Old vines. Rich lively purple. The sturdiest nose of the three Beaune 1ers crus, the most backward. The fruit is formidably structured on the palate, dark fruit to finish, even some blackberry but this has...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: The super fresh, sour-cherry nose leads you into a very concentrated and focused red with a lot of mineral and graphite character. The tannins are a shade firmer than in the other Grand Crus from Faiveley, but it was...
