2012 Red Wine from Cote De Nuits

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, 92 points: An elegant, cool and pure nose features notes of wild red berries, pungent earth and a sauvage note. There is an equally cool impression to the medium weight plus flavors that exude a fine minerality on the delicious...

View From The Cellar, 95 points: (JG94-95+ points) The 2012 Clos de Bèze had been bottled at the end of October, but was still showing very well in mid-November, wafting from the glass in a superb aromatic constellation of black cherries, cassis...

View From The Cellar, 93 points: (93+) While the 2012 Clos Prieur was a bit reduced, the Petite Chapelle was hitting on all cylinders and it was simply a pleasure to taste such a great young bottle of Gevrey premier cru. The deep, pure and still quite...

Burghound, 93 points: A restrained and distinctly cool nose exhibits a pretty array of ripe and fresh red berry scents that are laced with earth, spice, tea and oak nuances. There is a lovely sense of energy to the intense and muscular...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru from Louis Jadot has a lifted, licorice-tinged bouquet with plenty of guts to it. There aromatics do not hold back. The palate is...

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, 91 points: Bright medium red. Ineffable aromas of perfumed red fruits, dried flowers and truffley underbrush, complicated by a saline quality. Supple and seamless on the palate, showing a restrained sweetness to its flavors of red...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA 91-93 points) The 2012 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Petits Monts has a ripe, generous nose with mulberry and briary aromas. The palate is precise with fine tannins, good acidity and a focused, mineral-rich finish...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 91 points: (ST88-91 points) Medium red. Cool aromas of blueberry, blackberry and licorice. The palate offers penetrating clarity and sappy acidity, with intense dark berry and spice flavors complicated by saline and leather nuances...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux from the talented Arnaud Mortet has a slightly muted nose at first, perhaps caught at an awkward stage of adolescence...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 94 points: Good deep red. Ineffable high-pitched aromas of crushed raspberry, cranberry, blood orange, menthol and spices. Dense and tactile but at the same time juicy and vibrant, showing excellent cut and saline complexity to its...
