Pinot Noir: Burghound 92 pts
"Here the aromas are quite ripe, running more to dark berry and black cherry with traces of spice and underbrush that can also be found on the rich, full and generous flavors that are sweet and mouth coating. This is wonderfully fresh and refined with dusty tannins and excellent intensity on the balanced and beautifully long finale. I quite like this as there is a real sense of vibrancy in the mouth. A classic Charmes that is built to age."

Pinot Noir: Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-92 points "A pungent nose of reduction and wood spice though the oak is less apparent on the dusty, intense and round flavors that are mouth coating, delicious and sweet, underpinned by relatively fine tannins and plenty of finishing power. By the usual standards of this wine, it's exceptionally impressive, indeed perhaps the best I have ever seen and it's particularly well balanced."

Pinot Noir: Allen Meadows, Burghound 88-91 points "Spicy red and black fruit aromas trimmed in a deft touch of wood introduce supple, fresh and admirably precise medium full flavors that are attractively textured, sweet and sappy, all wrapped in a slightly toasty finish. This is a high quality villages that should reward 5 to 8 years of bottle age."

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!"

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."

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..."

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!"

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 WH498
Chardonnay: Burghound 89 pts
"A moderately exotic and nicely complex nose of lychee nut, apricot and mango leads to noticeably sweet, round and utterly delicious medium full flavors that are generous but with no trace of heaviness and there is good vibrancy to the solidly long finish. This would be a great choice for an aperitif or summer sipper yet it's a serious wine with sneaky length and fine intensity that could be enjoyed now or left for several years in the cellar. Recommended. Outstanding!"

Chardonnay: Allen Meadows, Burghound 95 "An expressive and highly interesting nose of cool and fresh green apple surrounded by freshly baked brioche aromas leads to big, rich and sleekly muscled flavors that are quite ripe yet there is a very firm acid backbone that maintains outstanding focus on the almost painfully intense mineral-infused finish. This is a 'wow' wine that cedes nothing to the Montrachet in terms of power and weight. Don't miss!"

Pinot Noir: Allen Meadows, Burghound 93-95 "A brooding nose with almost no discernable wood influence of very ripe and moderately earthy aromas where the earth continues onto the rich, ripe and impressively dense flavors that also are textured and palate drenching supported by buried yet relatively fine tannins that are rendered almost completely invisible by the superb level of dry extract. This is a big bad boy fashioned in classic old school Corton style with huge aging potential. Don't miss!"
