Pinot Noir from France

Burghound, 93 points: A moderate dollop of new wood frames very ripe yet airy and elegant black raspberry and cherry aromas that are exceptionally fresh and dissolve into rich suave and very pure full-bodied flavors that are wonderfully...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: This is a phenomenal wine with such depth and intensity in terms of aromas of black cherries, wet earth and orange peel. It's like looking over the edge of a cliff it's so deep. Full body, perfect tannin tension and...

Burghound, 95 points: (BH93-95 points) Somewhat surprisingly this is notably more elegant than it usually is with its expressive nose of black and red pinot fruit, spice and abundant earth scents. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension...

Burghound, 94 points: (BH92-94 points) This is also all-but mute and even vigorous swirling only reveals notes of wood and spice. Despite the mouth feel of the Chambertin being somewhat finer than usual, here it is notably finer still with...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: (WA95-97 points) The 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a detailed, precise bouquet, very pure with ripe dark cherries, kirsch, orange sorbet and subtle graphite aromas. It is one of the classiest that you will come...

Wine & Spirits, 90 points: This has relatively lush, mellow tannins for a Gevrey, while the fruit is floral and fresh. It doesn’t feel heavily extracted, gaining its structure instead from zesty, high-toned acidity and a little stodgy bitterness...

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...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 91 points: 91+ Healthy dark red. Very primary nose hints at black cherry, menthol and bitter chocolate lifted by a floral topnote. Then sappy and saline on the palate, showing very good chewy concentration and medicinal reserve...

Burghound, 95 points: Here the nose is similar to the regular cuvée from a compositional standpoint but the fruit is denser, slightly riper and more complex as well. The very concentrated broadshouldered flavors possess excellent...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: Full medium red. Lovely perfume of red berries, sandalwood and dried flowers. At once seamless and precise on the palate, offering excellent energy and lift to the flavors of red cherry, cranberry, spices and flowers...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: The 2009 Morey St. Denis Millandes is fabulous. It boasts a great combination of rich, dark fruit and powerful structure. Today the wine is already starting to shut down, something that bodes quite well for the future...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: 96+ I was very happy to find that the Musigny had not yet been racked at the time of my visit, as it is nice to see at least one wine that is totally on form, so that it makes it far easier to get a proper read on the...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH90-93 points) This is also quite elegant with its primarily purple fruit and earth aromas that are deftly trimmed in just enough wood to be noticeable but not enough to impede the clear expression of the site. The...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Romanée St Vivant les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru from Louis Latour has the classiest nose of three Romanée Saint Vivant encountered, mineral-rich red berry...
