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...

Decanter, 93 points: The five terroirs in question here are Champ, En Derée, Vellé, Combes du Dessus and En Motrot, all of which are on the north side of Gevrey-Chambertin. This is always one of the best village Gevreys on the market, easily...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (92-94) The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru reveals a lovely bouquet of Asian spices, plums, raspberries and rose petal, with only subtle hints of the savory nuances of soil and espresso to come with bottle age. On the palate...

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...

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, 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...

Vinous, 94 points: (VN 92-94 points) The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers 1er Cru comes from a parcel of 80-year-old vines, containing 25% whole bunch fruit and matured in 75% new oak. The bouquet is completely different from Les Hauts...

Decanter, 96 points: Les Ouvrées Rodin is a small cuvée of Clos de Bèze, selected from vines that are more than 60 years old. It's worth trading up from the regular release, assuming you have the funds, because this is altogether richer, more...

Decanter, 94 points: This old vine cuvée is picked second at the château, before the Cuvée Classique and after the Hommage. It sees 100% stems and 100% new wood, producing a bold, rich, ripely textured Clos de Vougeot showing plenty of tannic...

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...

Vinous, 92 points: (90-92) The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Aux Beaux Bruns 1er Cru is completely de-stemmed due to the warm calcaire soils in this vineyard according to Arnaud Mortet. It has airy, bright red cherry and strawberry fruit that is...

Decanter, 96 points: Located just below Château de la Tour in what Arnaud Mortet calls 'the best part of the lower part of the Clos', the domaine's parcel runs to 0.35ha. Made with 30% stems and 70% new oak, it's very much a clay-derived...
