Red Wine from Cote De Beaune

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: 92+ Bright red. Classy but reticent nose hints at bitter cherry. Densely packed and seriously concentrated, showing superb stony lift to the flavors of black cherry, violet and licorice. Really wonderful 2013 energy and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (WA92-94 points) The 2013 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru is tight-lipped on the nose, but there is plenty of ripe dark cherry and cassis fruit waiting to spring forth. There is fine clarity and focus here. The palate is...

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...

View From The Cellar, 93 points: The Fontaine-Gagnard Rugiens is excellent in 2013, offering up a deep and very classic bouquet of cherries, quince, a touch of blood orange, gamebirds, a very complex base of soil tones, woodsmoke and a refined base of...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: Bright and succulent, with strawberry and cherry flavors in lockstep with the delicate structure and lacy framework. Balanced and long, presenting a chalky, minerally finish. Best from 2018 through 2028. 520 cases made. –BS

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...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 90 points: (AG88-90 points) The 2013 Pommard Combes-Dessus comes across as a touch angular and compact in this vintage, a year in which the challenging conditions are impossible to escape. Hints of dark red cherry, plum and spice...

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, 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...
