Red Wine from Cote De Nuits

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...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny la Combe d’Orveau has an earthier, forest floor inspired bouquet following the Nuits Saint Georges – more introspective but still complex. The palate zings with energy in the...

Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: A firm and tannic wine, this has dry spices, dark fruits and concentration. Great depth of flavor gives a serious wine that also has a fruit-driven profile. Concentrated dark tannins push this wine to a great height and...

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...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The 2012 Gevrey Chambertin from the talented Arnaud Mortet seemed a little bashful on the nose, but with aeration it reveals attractive blackberry and wild strawberry scents that are well defined, just a touch of...

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, 91 points: (AG88-91 points) The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny shows considerable power and intensity, but it's hard to see too much beyond that, especially in the aromatics, which are heavily reduced. Like all of the Pousse d'Or 2012s, the...

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...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: Hugely dense, packed with ripe and generous black fruits, this is already showing its serious side with complex tannins and a dark, brooding texture that also brings out the wood aging. The fruit, a gorgeous array of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: (WA88-90 points) The 2012 Vosne-Romanee Village also comes from several parcels around the village. The nose is well defined with lively red berry fruit leaping from the glass like yapping puppies. The palate is...
