Wine from Cote De Nuits

Decanter, 93 points: If you want to taste a textbook Gevrey-Chambertin, this is a very representative blend combining fruit from over 30 different parcels across the appellation. With an average vine age of 45 years, it's a sweet, glossy...

Decanter, 95 points: Enticing candied citrus fruit and spice with an exquisite mineral undertone; super clean and tense with a sumptuous texture and a long, harmonious finish.

Wine Spectator, 95 points: A mix of cherry, black currant, iron, cinnamon and cardamom flavors highlight this dense red, with plenty of fruit to balance the assertive tannins. Just a bit compact on the finish today, yet shows fine promise. Best...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Ripe, with an earthy cast to the black cherry, black currant and sweet spice flavors. Rich and pliable in texture, this is harmonious, building to a lingering, mouthwatering finish. Best from 2022 through 2036. 500 cases...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: Reductive flintiness, smoke and red currant shine on the nose of this wine. The tart finesse of the red currant carries onto the slender, taut palate where freshness and elegance reign. Purity and intensity radiate from a...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: A broad-shouldered, chunky red, this displays black cherry, iron and earth flavors. A bit rustic, with ample fruit and a saturated, black cherry aftertaste. Drink now through 2025. 1,250 cases made, 400 cases imported. — BS

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Well-defined aromas and flavors of strawberry, cherry, rose and stone are the hallmarks of this expressive red. It firms up nicely, yet remains poised and sophisticated, with fruit, tobacco and iron accents lingering on...

Wine & Spirits, 93 points: Philippe Drouhin dedicates .62 acres of vines to this village Chambolle, parcels he has farmed organically since 1990. And it may well be his farming that sets this wine apart, or his sister Véronique’s gentle winemaking...

View From The Cellar, 91 points: 91+ The inherent elegance of the 2014 vintage is very much in evidence in the domaine’s old vine bottling from Gevrey, as the wine offers up a lovely constellation of black cherries, sweet dark berries, grilled meats...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Bright cherry and berry fruit introduces this elegant red, along with floral, mineral and a hint of earth notes. It's sleek and tensile, with superb balance and poise. The cherry and strawberry theme continues through the...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: This is pretty, packing cherry, raspberry and spice flavors on a lively frame. Not that intense, yet finishes with grace and harmony. Drink now through 2024. 700 cases made, 220 cases imported. — BS

Decanter, 96 points: The Ponsots' 3.5ha holdings here are divided between the Monts Luisants and Clos de la Roche grand cru climats, producing a fine, elegant, floral cuvée with no new oak, plenty of precision and freshness and a sweet core...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: (92-94 points) The 2013 Lavaux St. Jacques from Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy was raised in forty percent new wood in this vintage. It was still a bit cranky on the palate from the assemblage at the time of my visit, but the...

View From The Cellar, 93 points: The Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy Perrière is one of the finest examples of this vineyard to be found in the village, and I really like the profile of the wine in 2014. The very refined bouquet offers up a complex blend of...

Decanter, 98 points: Absolutely bursting with blue and red fruits, the concentration is deceptive here, as it starts out juicy and full of air, but after a few minutes in the glass you start to feel the weight and the texture, and this turns...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: This is warm and round with soft and velvety tannins. Medium to full body, round and juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows density and potential for the vintage. Better in 2020, but already fun to taste.

View From The Cellar, 92 points: The 2013 la Bousière was one of the shortest cuvées in the cellar in this vintage, as the domaine was very, very strict with selection (due to a fair bit of rot in this parcel) and the Harmands only have four casks out of...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: This is tight right now, featuring a coiled spring of cherry, berry, licorice and spice flavors. Intense and long, with well-integrated oak and toasted spice notes lingering on the finish. The aftertaste incorporates a...

View From The Cellar, 91 points: 91+ As readers will recall, the domaine’s Clos Prieur is a blend of the two sections of this vineyard, with thirty percent of the cuvée made from the premier cru sector of Clos Prieur Haut and the balance old vines in the...

Burghound, 93 points: An admirably layered nose is composed of an impressively broad array of plum, violet, earth, sauvage and discreet spice nuances. There is outstanding power, intensity and size to the big-bodied flavors that exhibit huge...

View From The Cellar, 91 points: The Harmand family’s 2014 Clos Prieur is an excellent wine. As readers will recall, this is a combination of very old vines in the villages section of the vineyard and a portion in the premier cru part. The nose on the...

Burghound, 95 points: (92-95) This too is quite firmly reduced and unreadable today. Otherwise there is a bit more size and weight to the broad-shouldered flavors that possess even better mid-palate density before terminating in a markedly...

Burghound, 97 points: (94-97 points) A ripe and super-fresh nose offers up notes of black raspberry, plum liqueur, Asian-style tea and a whiff of incense. The racy, intense and mineral-driven big-bodied flavors retain outstanding delineation...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Well marked by sweet oak, this red nonetheless offers ample black cherry, plum, earth and iron flavors that should emerge with bottle age. It also has a solid grip of tannins that curtail the finish for now. Best from...

View From The Cellar, 91 points: 91+ In contrast to the grumpy Vieilles Vignes bottling, the 2013 Clos Prieur from the Harmands was very much on form and showing lovely potential at the time of my visit. As reader will recall, this is a blend of a parcel...

Decanter, 96 points: Despite what has been written about high yields in the Côte de Nuits in 2017, Jacques de Vauges made less Clos de Tart than he did in 2016. Picked much earlier than it used to be when Sylvain Pitiot was in charge, this is...
