Wine from Cote De Beaune

Vinous, 94 points: (92-94 points) The 2018 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru comes from 2.6 hectares of vine over two parcels. It has a vivacious lemon zest and orange blossom bouquet that shows a subtle influence from the lees. The palate...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: Narbantons, with its northeasterly exposition, was probably one of the more favored vineyards in the village in 2018, and the Camus-Bruchon version is stellar. The great nose wafts from the glass in a classic blend of...

Vinous, 94 points: (92-94 points) The 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Gravains 1er Cru comes from virtually marn soils and is matured in 50% new oak. It has superb clarity on the nose, featuring precise morello cherry and crushed strawberry...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: (91-94 points) The 2013 Corton “Bressandes” from Domaine Chandon de Briailles had also finished up its malo in mid-summer and was showing pretty well at the time of my visit. The deep, pure and black fruity bouquet offers...

Decanter, 95 points: The pick of Domaine de Montille's impressive range of white Premiers Crus in 2018, this is a stylish rendition of what many people consider Meursault's best terroir. Pear, apple and citrus fruit flavours are embellished...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: This white is elegant and lacy, featuring lime blossom, acacia and hazelnut accents, surrounding white peach and melon fruit. Harmonious and vibrant, builds to a long, citrus and spice-infused aftertaste. Drink now...

Burghound, 91 points: (89-91 points) Ripe aromas are comprised mostly by notes of poached pear, petrol and rosemary oil. There is once again good punch and detail if only average density to the delicious and relatively refined flavors that...

View From The Cellar, 93 points: The Clos du Roi vineyard is a bit warmer microclimate than most of the Savigny premier crus, so I wondered if this would be the one wine in the Camus-Bruchon lineup that showed a bit more of the super ripeness of the 2018...

Decanter, 95 points: Les Vergers is located on the northern side of Chassagne-Montrachet close to the large limestone quarry. The domaine's 1ha holding has produced a stunning Premier Cru in 2018 which combines richness and palate weight with...

Burghound, 93 points: (90-93 points) Once again the expressive nose is decidedly floral with prettier and more layered aromas of exotic tea, spice and plenty of citrus influences. The racy, intense and overtly stony medium weight flavors also...

Vinous, 94 points: (92-94 points) The 2017 Saint-Aubin Le Charmois 1er Cru matures in 20% new oak, has a slightly more introspective but quite compelling bouquet with dried honey, hazelnut and light oyster shell aromas that just need some...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (90 - 92 points) One of the highlights of the range is the 2018 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly, a lovely wine that offers up aromas of pear, waxy citrus rind, white flowers and crushed chalk. On the palate, it's medium to...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Aromas of white currants, pear, dried white flowers and wheat toast introduce the 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping wine underpinned by racy acids, concluding with...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 97 points: (93-97 points) Lovely pale lemon with a faint green tint. Delicately smoky, nuanced refined. It isn’t just a question of the weight, with superbly interleaved mineral acidity. Brilliant intensity to finish.

Wine Spectator, 92 points: The fine structure creates a nervous tension in this white, with lemon, chalk and baking spice flavors. Balanced, showing intensity and a mouthwatering finish that echoes the citrus, mineral and spice elements. Best from...

Burghound, 95 points: (92-95 points) A notably ripe yet attractively fresh nose is comprised by notes of exuberantly floral, spice, plum liqueur and relatively prominent menthol influences. The wonderfully sleek, concentrated and intensely...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Lime blossom, hazelnut, peach, citronella and toasty oak combine in this alluring white. It's seamless in balance and builds gracefully on the palate to a lingering finish. The aftertaste evokes floral, baking spice...

View From The Cellar, 92 points: 92+ The 2017 Gravains from Monsieur Camus was raised in fifty percent new oak this year, which is higher than normal for this bottling, but all of the new wood was the aforementioned five hundred liter barrels, so the...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 95 points: (92-95 points) Pale primrose with some fruit weight. Then a quiet start followed by some smoky bacon, like ripe riesling. Clearly more depth to this and with the expected follow through.

Wine & Spirits, 90 points: With all of its supple black cherry and sweet plum brightness, this lasts on smoky, spicy tannins. It’s powerful, a little syrupy in its ripeness, ready to bring its fruit to roast duck.

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Pure, evoking black cherry, black currant and floral aromas and flavors. Rich and dense, yet set on a lithe frame, with fine grip to the aftertaste of lingering fruit, mineral and spice. Shows lovely harmony. Best from...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A wee fatty, this white delivers peach, apricot and pastry flavors matched by a creamy, almost viscous texture. This buffers the lively acidity that keeps the lingering finish focused, driving the fruit and spice...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Lush in texture and balanced on the soft side, this red displays black cherry, blackberry, violet and earth flavors. Terrific harmony and a long, complex finish of fruit and mineral. Will be approachable in the short...

Burghound, 90 points: A whiff of matchstick is present on the elegant array of citrus rind, white flowers and essence of pear. I like the intensity and mouthfeel of the delicious mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that are notably rich...

Decanter, 95 points: When people think of a classic Pommard, they invariably point to Les Rugiens-Bas, widely regarded as the village's Grand Cru in waiting. This is a structured, savoury, typically ferrous expression of the terroir that sees...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 94 points: Pale lemon colour. The bouquet is backward. There is a fair amount of spice here, and some cheerful oak. A ripe and fairly exuberant Perrières with good length. The whole package works very well.
