Item RD988

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: BH 89 pts "The 2005s are only the second commercial vintage so this is a mailing list you might wish to consider signing up for - This is also pretty and elegant though slightly riper with a touch of briar to go with the red berry fruit aromas that marry into the rich, round and nicely full flavors that are very pinot in character, all wrapped in a finish of good detail and length. Interestingly, while there is more concentration and depth, the mouth feel is distinctly different from the Heather's. A qualitative choice even though the wines are distinctly different from one another."

Pinot Noir: JR, International Wine Cellar 88 pts "Light-medium red. Spicy strawberry and raspberry on the nose, with a light floral topnote. Light-bodied red fruit flavors make up for their lack of power with elegance. There are virtually no tannins to get in the way of the clarity of this easy-drinker. A bottle of this could disappear in a heartbeat."

Pinot Noir: IWC 91 pts "Hazy red color. Fresh raspberry and cherry aromas are complicated by fresh flowers, minerals and anise. Round and appealingly sappy, with deep red berry liqueur flavors, a silky texture and rising spiciness. Gains weight with air, finishing sweet and long, with a strong raspberry quality lingering."

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: NM, Wine Advocate 91 pts "It displays a vibrant, slightly leafy nose with cranberry and a touch of forest floor, the palate -economical- i.e. no frills, but clean, crisp, vibrant fruit; brilliant focus with supreme poise on the finish. It gains intensity in the glass, a mercurial Pinot Noir as compelling as many a top Burgundy."

Pinot Noir: Debuting in the 1995 vintage, Le Clos Saint-Hilaire comes from a walled 1 hectare vineyard planted entirely with Pinot Noir vines. The old vines and the magic of the soil combine to create an extremely complex and rare Champagne.

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!"

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."

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!"

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay: WS 94 pts "A beautiful Champagne, from the complex floral-, coffee- and brioche-scented nose to the graphite, vanilla and citrus flavors. Light-weight and intense, with a lively structure and a long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2018."
