Needs air to reveal the blackberry and black currant aromas and flavors, accented by iron, herb and tar hints. Fresh and silky, with refined tannins for support. Best from 2018 through 2030. 125 cases imported. — BS

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...

Pale yellow. Complex aromas of apple, lemon and spiced pear, lifted by a hint of exotic fruits that suggests a bit of noble rot. Rich, musky and plush, offering lovely concentration and an impression of sweetness and...

Pale yellow. Sweet, ripe aromas of yellow plum and oak char, plus a more exotic suggestion of mirabelle. The yellow fruit flavors show good power and penetration, along with an attractive sucrosité that belies the wine's...

(BH89-92 points) Plentiful wood and menthol scents serves as a less than subtle backdrop for the ripe and very fresh red and dark currant, sauvage and strong earth aromas. There is excellent richness to the full-bodied...

An expressive wine, seductive for the silky texture and purity of cherry fruit. Licorice, spice and sandalwood notes add depth as this cruises to a long, smooth aftertaste, echoing the spice and toasty oak accents. Best...

Mid crimson. Sweet, ripe red fruits on the nose. Lots of fruit – one of the most flamboyant Jadot 2013s. Edgy finish with marked acidity but a lot of substance there too.

There is enough reduction present that I would recommend decanting this if you’re going to try a bottle before the wine matures. There is excellent richness, size, weight and muscularity to the medium-bodied flavors that...

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru from Hudelot-Noëllat winemaker, Charles van Canneyt, has a modest bouquet with pretty red plum and redcurrant aromas, the oak lending...

The ripe nose stops just short of overt exoticism though there is a trace on the iodine, floral and dried yellow orchard fruit suffused aromas. There is plenty of good vibrancy to the detailed and powerful flavors that...

(92-94 points) (one of the four barrels is new): Good pale color. Musky aromas of lemon, lime, clove, iodine and hazelnut oil are less open than those of the Genevrieres in the early going. Also tighter in the mouth...

(WA93-95 points) The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Beaux Monts has great clarity on the nose, here veering more toward red fruit than the les Brulées, with subtle wet limestone and granitic scents emerging with time. The...

(BH88-90 points) This is also quite floral with its airy nose of assorted red berries, cool earth and hints of the sauvage. There is fine precision to the tension-filled medium-bodied flavors that also exude a fine bead...

The Fontaine family’s Vergers has turned out beautifully in the 2013 vintage, as the wine offers up a bright and very classic bouquet of pear, apple, lemon, complex, chalky soil tones, citrus zest and vanillin oak. On the...

(BH88-91 points) As might be reasonably expected this is notably more elegant with its white orchard fruit, rose petal and discreet sandalwood-inflected aromas. There is lovely detail and intensity to the lightly stony...

(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...

(BH87-90 points) The wood treatment currently pushes the fruit to the background and renders it impossible to read. On the plus side there is equally good volume to the even richer medium-bodied flavors that possess...

(BH88-90 points) Strong wood influence presently dominates the red and dark fruit, earth and soft spice aromas. There is better volume and power to the richer medium weight flavors that also possess better mid-palate...

(ST89-92 points) Palish red. Perfumed aromas of redcurrant, red cherry, iron and rose petal. Silky and intense, displaying a minty reserve to the red fruit and mineral flavors. Nicely integrated acidity gives clarity to...
