Red Wine from Cote De Beaune

View From The Cellar, 92 points: 92+ These thirty year-old vines are beautifully-situated in Rugiens, at the very bottom of the Rugiens Hautes section of the vineyard. The inherent elegance of the 2012 vintage is very much in evidence in the lovely...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: (92+) Full medium red. Lovely perfume of red berries, sandalwood and dried flowers. At once seamless and precise on the palate, offering excellent energy and lift to the flavors of red cherry, cranberry, spices and...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: A spicy version, boasting vanilla- and clove-studded black cherry. Polished and expressive, with a fine, lingering finish. Best from 2018 through 2027. 20 cases imported. –BS

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: (AG91-93 points) Dark plums, spices, smoke and menthol are some of the many nuances that emerge from Pousse d'Or's 2012 Volnay En Caillerets. This is a distinctly dark style of Caillerets that is deeply marked by the...

Vinous, 93 points: (91-93) The 2012 Volnay is the first clue the 2012 vintage is special at d'Angerville. A wine that impresses for the extraordinary purity of its fruit, the 2012 graces the palate with sweet red cherries, anise and spices...

Burghound, 93 points: This is quite a bit riper than its 2012 counterpart with very fresh aromas of black cherry, raspberry, spice and exotic tea nuances. The medium-bodied flavors possess exemplary mid-palate concentration as the copious dry...
