Item RD1067

Pinot Noir: Burghound 92-94 pts "Subtle wood spice, violets, cassis, plus and warm earth aromas combine to introduce rich, full, complex and mouth coating flavors that possess perfect balance, particularly between the often counterbalancing aspect of power and detail. This is a stunning Echézeaux with everything it needs for a long evolution yet so much mid-palate sap that it will be approachable relatively young. Don't Miss!"

Item RD1072

Pinot Noir: Burghound 90-92 pts "An airy, ripe and pure nose combines subtle spice hints with expressive aromas or red and blue pinot fruit plus violet notes that precede the detailed and precise yet full-bodied flavors that are textured and seductive as they ooze dry extract and lend balance to the otherwise chiseled and palate staining finish. This too should age very well over the medium plus term."

Item RD1068

Pinot Noir: Burghound 86-89 pts "A classic spicy red and black Vosne style fruit nose precedes the precise and pure medium-bodied flavors underpinned by good tension and moderately firm tannins, all wrapped in an acceptably long finish. This is certainly of fine quality..."

Item RD1070

Pinot Noir: Burghound 88-91 pts "This is almost a hypothetical blend of the old vines cuvée and the Jachées as it brings to bear the elegance of the latter with the concentration and dry extract of the former, all wrapped in a velvety and mouth coating finish that delivers admirable length and punch. I very much like the underlying sense of tension and energy and this should make for a fine effort with mid-term cellaring, which is to say 6 to 8 years or so. Outstanding!"

Item RD1069

Pinot Noir: Burghound 87-90 pts "A really attractive combination of dark berry fruit and Vosne spice that extends to the more concentrated and delicious middle weight flavors that offer slightly better depth and intensity on the admirably long finish. A quality villages that is worth a look."

Item RD1071

Pinot Noir: Burghound 89-92 pts "Not surprisingly, this is a clear step up in aromatic complexity with beautifully deep black fruit aromas that reflect both spice and earth nuances that can also be found on the rich, full and moderately powerful medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a firm and mouth coating finish that goes on for a good 30+ seconds as it seems to die out and then revives itself. Very solid cellar potential here. Sweet spot Outstanding!"

Item WH448

Chardonnay: Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 90-93 points "Superripe aromas of peach, pear and honey, with a suggestion of fruit preserves. Very rich and ripe, with peach and licorice flavors supported by minerals and gingery spice. Like a blend of the Chenevottes and Champs Gains, and this, too, boasts excellent fruit intensity."

Item WH449

Chardonnay: Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 93-95 points "Reduced on the nose following the recent end of the malolactic fermentation. Rich, broad, ripe and airy, with tactile, vibrant flavors of citrus fruits, powdered stone and white flowers. A powerful, classic young white Burgundy with terrific energy and force. The long, rising finish offers a saline nuance and ineffable complexity. Two-thirds of these vines are 60 years old, the rest about 25."

Item WH447

Chardonnay: Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 90-93 points "Subdued but pure aromas of yellow fruits and spicy oak; a bit reduced today. Fat and large-scaled but at the same time perfumed and vibrant, with a lovely sugar/acid snap intensifying the white peach flavor. Finishes with excellent structure and length."

Item WH443

Chardonnay: Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 91-94 points "Sappy aromas of lime, chlorophyll and sweet oak; smells like crushed grapes. Powerful and primary, with the crushed fruit character following through on the palate. The sappy lime fruit and powerful minerality give this terrific thrust and energy but make it almost painful to taste today. Classic young Meursault."

Item WH444

Chardonnay: Stephen Tanzer, Internartional Wine Cellar 93-96 points "Sappy, vibrant nose offers orange, mint and minerals. Suave on entry, then sweeter than the Genevrieres, with succulent peach and orange flavors. Wonderfully broad without any heaviness; this has the texture of a grand cru. The saline, crushed stone finish boasts outstanding length and lift. Can't spit this stuff!"

Item WH442

Chardonnay: Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 93-95 points "Pale yellow. Subtle aromas of peach, flowers and minerals. Reticent but sweet, with a fine-grained texture and more early harmoniousness than the Clavoillons. But this is still quite young and closed. Rises impressively on the tactile finish, dusting the palate with fresh pineapple, grapefruit and minerals."

Item WH441

Chardonnay: Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 92-94 points "Good pale yellow color. Superripe aroma and flavor of candied pineapple. Fat and sweet but with excellent acidity. This goes to another level on the youthfully clenched, tactile back end, which features superb citric cut, classic minerality and terrific thrust and power. Sampling this today is almost like tasting two different wines, one on the front half and the other on the back."

Item RD1135

Pinot Noir: ST, International Wine Cellar 91-93 pts "Sappy aromas of wild blueberry, blackberry and spices. Pure primary crushed dark berries in the mouth, with a violet note and a whiff of black pepper sharpening the flavors. The resounding, impressively long finish shows a rather muscular peppery quality and a flavor of licorice."

Item RD1136

Pinot Noir: ST, International Wine Cellar 91-93 pts "Good red-ruby. Plum, currant, blackberry, violet, spices, smoked meat and rose petal; this one shows all the Beze food groups. Densely packed and dry, with terrific breed and enticing floral lift. Still a bit youthfully closed but boasts subtle building sweetness, and complex tones of spices, flowers and soil. I find this easier to taste today than the Bonnes-Mares. Finishes suave, pure and long, with a peppery lift that really stimulates the taste buds."

Item RD1146

Pinot Noir: BH 90-92 pts "Here there is a bit more obvious wood spice, mixed espresso and sexy black and blue fruit aromas that merge into rich, full and velvety medium-bodied flavors that are concentrated and textured with another dimension of complexity on the admirably long finish that also evidences a trace of toast. Sweet spot Outstanding!"
