Red Wine from Cote De Nuits

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 91 points: (89-91 points) (Bouchard purchases wine from two sources, supplying their own barrels to the growers): Dark red with ruby highlights. More liqueur-like and extreme than the Gevrey villages that preceded it in my tasting...

Burghound, 93 points: A pungent but pretty nose is comprised by notes of wood, freshly sliced plum, cassis and earth. There is even better punch and mid-palate concentration to the moderately stony and beautifully well-detailed flavors that...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: An intense version, this red is saturated with blackberry, blueberry and subtle chocolate flavors. Dense and monolithic at this stage, this is a diamond in the rough whose facets have yet to be discovered. Compact...

Burghound, 94 points: (91-94 points) Here the wood treatment is more pronounced though not so much as to stifle the markedly earthy and again notably floral-scented nose of black raspberry liqueur and plum aromas. There is excellent size...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (92-94 points) The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux has a dense, slightly sultry bouquet that gradually unfurls and reveals blackberry, briary and wild strawberry aromas laced with granite and a touch of smoke...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: Dark and smoky, delivering black cherry, black currant, graphite and wet earth aromas and flavors. Powerful, yet reined in by the lively acidity. The tannins are refined and well-integrated. Excellent length. Best from...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 91 points: (88-91 points) (70% vendange entier): Bright red-ruby. Very ripe aromas of black cherry, violet and bitter chocolate. Plush, fat and sweet, offering lovely fullness and roundness for village wine. A rather dark-fruit...

Burghound, 91 points: (89-91) A pungent nose consists of oak, menthol and reduction. Otherwise there is good vibrancy to the supple yet solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors that also exude a fine bead of minerality on the lingering...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: The cherry and raspberry flavors take on a slight confectionary quality in this lean, taut red. Though in lock-down today, there is concentrated fruit at the core and a long, vibrant finish. Spicy aftertaste. Best from...

Burghound, 95 points: (92-95) A markedly ripe but notably fresh and expressive nose of liqueur-like dark berries and earth nuances is trimmed in soft wood toast. There is outstanding richness, volume and mid-palate concentration supporting...

Burghound, 92 points: (89-92) An exuberantly fresh nose offers notes of red cherry and currant that are liberally laced with earth, spice and oak hints. There is once again good vibrancy to the generously proportioned and fleshy medium-bodied...

Vinous, 93 points: (90-93) Bright red-ruby. Sexy aromas of black cherry and sweet oak convey a liqueur-like ripeness. Rich and creamy on the palate, but energized by ripe acidity and a serious tannic spine. This very tactile, densely...

Vinous, 93 points: (91-93) Impressive dark ruby-red color. Slightly high-toned scents of blackberry, kirsch, crushed stone and licorice complemented by extravagant chocolate and mocha nuances. Strong and sweet on the attack, showing...

Burghound, 95 points: (92-95 points) Once again there is just enough reduction present to mask the underlying fruit but not the earth and underbrush elements; moreover it is sufficiently light that I doubt that it will persist for very long...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: (93-96 points) Bright, dark red. A sexy note of flinty reduction to the aromas of raspberry, mocha, brown spices, smoke and underbrush. Silky and fine-grained but with terrific energy and lift to its sappy flavors of...
