Wine from Cote De Beaune

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (91-93 points) The 2016 Corton-Perrières Grand Cru has a crisp, well-defined bouquet with blackberry and crushed strawberry, mixed with wet limestone and loamy scents that gather momentum in the glass. The palate is not...

Burghound, 93 points: A very spicy nose that is earthier still and also notably sauvage in character combines with ripe aromas of black raspberry, plum and exotic tea that are again trimmed in enough wood to notice. There is a beguiling mouth...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Plush and creamy, boasting peach, honey, oak spice and mineral flavors. A crowd-pleaser, with terrific balance and a long, citrus-infused aftertaste. Drink now through 2027. – BS

Vinous, 91 points: (89-91)Bright light yellow. Expressive nose combines pear, honey, menthol and flowers. Ripe, fine-grained and nicely concentrated, showing more gras than the Chaumées "Clos de la Truffière" but also healthy acidity and...

Decanter, 94 points: Tighter and better balanced than the Drouhins' Les Embazées premier cru in 2017, this is entirely sourced from the prestigious Laguiche holdings. It has a beautifully judged combination of leesy texture, aromatic spices...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (91-93) The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots was one of the standouts from Dubreuil-Fontaine this year. It has an impressive, well-defined, very focused bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, damp earth and woodlands scents...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (90-92 points) The 2014 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru comes from two blended parcels and sees around 20% new oak. It has more density than the village cru on the nose: blackberry and light stony scents, perhaps just a touch of...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: This is spicy, boasting vanilla, nutmeg, clove and butterscotch flavors, with lemon and apple notes underneath. Elegant and lean, echoing the spiciness on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2019 through 2028. – BS

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiets has a glorious nose that has mustered a little more va-va-voom since I tasted it from barrel last year. It lets rip with Morello cherries, fresh strawberry and a pastille-like purity. It...

Vinous, 95 points: (93-95) The 2017 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru was tasted from different sectors of the vineyard. The first sample, tasted directly from tank, comes from two parcels, one at the bottom part of the clos populated by...

Vinous, 93 points: (ST91-93 points) Impressively deep, dark ruby-red color. Black cherry, dark chocolate and violet on the nose, complicated by subtle hints of menthol and pepper. Distinctly sweeter and fruitier than the classique, with an...
