Red Wine from Cote De Beaune

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 91 points: 91+ Healthy dark red. Very primary nose hints at black cherry, menthol and bitter chocolate lifted by a floral topnote. Then sappy and saline on the palate, showing very good chewy concentration and medicinal reserve...

Burghound, 92 points: This is noticeably reduced so I would advise decanting it if you’re tempted to try a bottle upon release. There is excellent volume and power to the concentrated, intense and vibrant middle weight plus flavors that...

Burghound, 95 points: (BH93-95 points) A generous dollop of moderately toasty oak mixes with the highly layered nose of black cherry, cassis, warm earth and an impressive array of sauvage and underbrush notes. There is excellent richness to...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 91 points: (ST89-91 points) (20% new oak): Deep, bright red. Wild strawberry and a hint of underbrush on the nose. Sappy and dense in the mouth, showing very good spicy lift to the flavors of red cherry, leather and earth. Finishes...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) The 2013 Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets has a more limestone-scented bouquet, the fruit a little redder than that of Fremiets, opening with wilted rose-petal scents infusing the strawberry and red currant...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: (AG91-94 points) Not surprisingly, the 2013 Volnay Clos des Ducs is the most tannic and reticent of these wines. I very much like the sense of energy here, but it's going to take at least a few years for the contours to...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) There are just three barrels of the Volnay 1er Cru Santenots du Milieu this year. It has a dense and concentrated raspberry and wild strawberry bouquet interlaced with minerals, backward and broody as...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: (WA88-90 points) The 2013 Santenay Clos Tavannes has quite a deep and broody nose for a 2013, but it is well defined with pleasant blackberry leaf and limestone scents. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, quite rigid...

Burghound, 95 points: (BH93-95 points) A generous dollop of moderately toasty oak mixes with the highly layered nose of black cherry, cassis, warm earth and an impressive array of sauvage and underbrush notes. There is excellent richness to...

Burghound, 90 points: (BH87-90 points) The wood treatment currently pushes the fruit to the background and renders it impossible to read. On the plus side there is equally good volume to the even richer medium-bodied flavors that possess...

Burghound, 90 points: (BH88-90 points) Strong wood influence presently dominates the red and dark fruit, earth and soft spice aromas. There is better volume and power to the richer medium weight flavors that also possess better mid-palate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA90-92 points) The 2013 Volnay Clos des Chenes has the most feminine bouquet of the Volnay '13s, with perfumed crushed strawberry, orange peel and rose-petal scents that render it alluring even at this early stage. The...
