2017 Red Wine from Cote De Nuits

Vinous, 98 points: (96-98 points) The 2017 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was matured in around 80% new oak, the barrels toasted chauff blonde. Jacques Desvauges mentioned that the wine needed oxygen ingress during maturation that only new oak can...

Burghound, 95 points: (92-95) Here the expressive nose isn't quite as toasty but it's still far from subtle while managing not to unduly mask the more sauvage-inflected dark berry and forest floor scents. There good density and solid power to...

Decanter, 97 points: It may have something to do with the cooler site, or the high percentage of limestone in the soils, but this is the freshest and best balanced of the domaine's grands crus in 2017. Tangy, bright and very refined, it has...

Decanter, 92 points: Charles van Canneyt uses fruit from 11 different parcels in his textbook village Chambolle. This is a Pinot drinker's Pinot, all scented and refined, with an easy-drinking summer berry sweetness with tangy acidity and a...

Decanter, 96 points: Charles van Canneyt's 0.5ha block in Les Suchots was planted in 1910, which makes it the oldest at the domaine. In a vintage that stumped some producers, he has made a beautifully delineated wine that's textured and...

Decanter, 97 points: This 1920 parcel is situated in the northern part of the Romanée-St-Vivant grand cru, very close to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's holdings - and it's often a match for that wine. It's detailed, lacy and refreshing, with...

Vinous, 96 points: (94-96 points) The 2017 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru includes 40% whole cluster fruit and contains both estate and purchased fruit. It has a lovely bouquet of dark berry fruit laced with bergamot and undergrowth...

Decanter, 96 points: This remarkable 0.35ha parcel used to belong to Domaine Newman but is now an established part of the Mortet range. All located on white soils on the larger Chambolle-side of Bonnes Mares, this is showing its 70% new wood...

Decanter, 98 points: It's a close-run thing, but this is even better than the Mazis in 2017, made with what Arnaud Mortet says are some of the most beautiful grapes he's ever seen. Hailing from a 0.15ha holding of 60-year-old vines, it easily...

Decanter, 94 points: Les Charmes largely escaped the frost in 2016 so there was no need to reduce the crop in 2017. This comes from two parcels of 40 and 70-year-old vines which make up a total of 0.25ha. There’s a hint of good reduction on...

Decanter, 96 points: Hudelot-Noëllat's 0.8ha of the Clos are made up of two parcels, both of them in the upper part of the grand cru. Intensely aromatic and sweet, this is the quintessence of Pinot Noir, with raspberry and wild strawberry...

Vinous, 93 points: (VN 91-93 points) The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Murgers 1er Cru offers lucid red cherry and crushed strawberry aromas on the nose. The oak is neatly integrated, and the terroir shows through nicely. The palate is...

Decanter, 98 points: This 0.29ha parcel was planted (or replanted) in two stages - the 1930s and 1978 - so it has a high average age but plenty of concentration and complexity. It's one of my red wines of the vintage in 2017, with a heavenly...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: (89-91) Deeper and more concentrated than its Chambolle counterpart, the 2017 Vosne-Romanée Village offers up notes of wild berries, smoked meats, incense and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied with...
