Pinot Noir from France

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Extremely complex aromas of wet earth, mushrooms and blackberries. Medium to full body, gorgeous, velvety tannins and a dense mouthfeel. Very Compacted and long. A clearly outstanding young wine. Drink now or hold.

Vinous, 93 points: The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru offers plenty of brambly red fruit on the nose, interlaced with cold tea and scorched earth aromas. Fine delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied and flirts with over-ripeness on...

Decanter, 96 points: The older vines in de Vogüé's extensive 7.2ha in Musigny date back to 1953 and make a wine that's considerably weightier than the young-vine cuvée. This is very deep and intense in colour, exhibiting layers of dark...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH90-93 points) This is also elegant, pure and broadly aromatic with hints of earth, underbrush and a touch of the sauvage adding nuance to the red currant and violet notes that introduce rich and rather serious...

Burghound, 92 points: A deft application of wood sets off fresher and more elegant if not more complex aromas of essence of cool red berry fruit, kirsch, wet stone and a hint of humus. There is excellent precision and here too an admirable...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A rich version, this savory red evokes cherry, blackberry, beet, black currant, smoke and tobacco notes. Dense yet supple in texture, with a firm underlying structure and a compact finish. The long aftertaste suggests tar...

Burghound, 90 points: (87-90pts) Remarkably refined for the appellation with elegance and complexity on the expressive nose followed by full-bodied, dusty flavors that offer plenty of finesse but are also solidly structured and persistent. A...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: A bright and glossy red, with cherry, raspberry and oak spice aromas and flavors. Well-integrated, this lingers on the finish, echoing fruit and spice. Drink now through 2023. 70 cases made. — BS

Wine Spectator, 97 points: Rose, cherry and spice aromas introduce this light-bodied, saturated version. The flavors add wild strawberry, incense and kirsch notes, while remaining persistent on the kaleidoscopic finish. Feels tense now, yet should...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This is an intense, pure pinot of two parcels and shows a complex and beautiful, strawberry and brioche character. Full body. Plenty of fruit, but always delicious. An experimental wine. Drink now.
