Wine from Beaune

Burghound, 94 points: (91-94) Here the nose is similar to the Bressandes though with more earth and spice elements. The notably rich, concentrated and overtly powerful broad-shouldered flavors possess a velvety texture and a markedly firm...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: (ST90-92 points) Bright red-ruby. Redcurrant, leather and an intriguing floral note on the nose and palate. Sweet and quite concentrated, with a saline nuance and a suggestion of chocolate to the impressively rich...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is a pure and subtle red wine with strawberry, floral and mineral character. Full body, light tannins and a bright finish. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Drouhin's 2014 Beaune 1er Cru Blanc Clos des Mouches was showing strong hazelnut and smoke aromas, very Meursault-like in style with good intensity if not exuding the grace of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA90-92 points) Apparently, the 2014 Beaune 1er Cru les Marconnets was the least hailed of the Beaune crus. That shows in the aromatics that display the most purity and delineation, quite floral in style, the oak nicely...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: (ST90-92 points) Good full red. Red berry, truffle and spice aromas show an almost liqueur-like sweetness. Lush, concentrated and sweet, with lovely depth and definition to the red fruit and spice flavors. This...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Real purity of fruit in this with bark, dried strawberry and dried lemon peel. Full-bodied, chewy and powerful. A wonderful wine for the vintage. Structured and enticing. Needs five to six years to soften.

Decanter, 93 points: The Grèves is excellent, opening in the glass with aromas of red and black fruit, pencil lead, forest floor, game bird and dried flowers. On the palate the wine is supple, full-bodied and glossy, its fine tannins cloaked...

Vinous, 92 points: (90-92 points) (50% of a normal crop): Bright medium red. Very ripe, musky aromas of raspberry, cherry, rose petal, smoke and leather. Fine-grained and sweet, with its red fruit and mineral flavors displaying lovely...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: The 2016 vintage of Clos des Ursules is outstanding. The wine is very, very red fruity in profile this year, which I find very exciting, as this is usually a very black fruity wine out of the blocks. The nose is complex...

Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: Packed with red fruits, this wine has great potential, with attractive wild-strawberry fruits that are fresh and perfumed. Behind this fruitiness, the wine is tight and structured. It will be round, rich and ready to...

Burghound, 91 points: A whisper of wood can be found on the slightly more elegant nose that displays pure and airy red currant, floral, herbal tea and discreet spice nuances. There is also a bit more volume and richness as well as more evident...

View From The Cellar, 90 points: (89-90) The 2013 Beaune “Teurons” from Domaine Rossignol-Trapet is really quite good, given the vagaries of the hail, and shows quite respectable energy levels. The wine was one hundred percent destemmed in this vintage...
