Red Wine from Cote De Nuits

Burghound, 95 points: Here the nose is similar to the regular cuvée from a compositional standpoint but the fruit is denser, slightly riper and more complex as well. The very concentrated broadshouldered flavors possess excellent...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Romanée St Vivant les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru from Louis Latour has the classiest nose of three Romanée Saint Vivant encountered, mineral-rich red berry...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Taut and austere, with floral and berry flavors sealed up. The tannins are prominent now, but this shows purity, balance and length, finishing with cherry and mineral accents. Gains suppleness with air, so be patient...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: (AG90-93 points) The 2012 Chambolle Musigny La Combe d'Orveau bursts from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, mint, anise and raspberries, all in a surprisingly rich, broad shouldered style. A radiant...

Burghound, 91 points: There is enough wood to notice surrounding the earthy and brooding dark berry fruit and game suffused aromas. As one might reasonably expect there is markedly better richness and mid-palate concentration to the...

Burghound, 95 points: (BH92-95 points) A pure and manifestly earthy and sauvage nose offers up notes of red and dark currant, humus and underbrush. There is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the beautifully delineated medium weight...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru from Faiveley has a beguiling nose with brambly red berry fruit, damp earth, cold flagstone and just a faint smear of marmalade...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: (AG90-92 points) Dark red cherry, plums, smoke, licorice and incense meld together in the 2012 Marsannay Les Grasses Têtes. Here the clay-rich soils yield a dark, sumptuous Marsanny built on textural volume and pure...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: (AG91-93 points) A finely-knit wine, the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées is showing beautifully today. Plum, blueberry, new leather, cloves and menthol all flesh out in a sumptuous wine loaded with class and...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: (AG92-94 points) The 2012 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots blossoms beautifully in the glass. Sweet spices, menthol and new leather meld into a core of expansive dark red/black fruit. The 2012 deftly balances volume and...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: (AG90-92 points) Sweet spices, dried flowers, rose petals, mint and licorice all meld together in the 2012 Echezeaux. This is the roundest and most polished of the four Grand Crus in the range. Silky tannins support the...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 90 points: Bright medium red. Musky redcurrant and plum aromas are complicated by game and leather nuances. Sweet and fine-grained, offering rich flavors of red and purple fruits. This elegant, concentrated village wine is already...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: (AG94-96 points) Dark red cherry, plum, menthol, licorice and new leather explode from the glass in the 2012 Echézeaux. A rich, layered wine, the 2012 boasts superb depth and pure power, with tons of richness, breadth and...
