Mazis Chambertin Grand Cru  |
$659 |

|
| |
BH 97 (1/2012): (from .25 ha parcel of 60+ year old vines planted at a density of 14,000/ha in Mazis-Bas - vinified with 100% stems.) The intensely floral nose is classic Mazis with the hallmark animale component already in full song on the very ripe yet fresh red berry fruit and deeply earthy aromas. The concentrated and large-scaled flavors are rich to the point of opulence as the level of dry extract is almost hard to believe yet the forcefully long finish is precise, focused, impeccably well-balanced and the length is simply amazing. In a word, dazzling. Drink 2024+.
VM 97 (4/2012): The 2009 Mazis-Chambertin is all freshly cut flowers, rose petals, sweet spices and red berries. In 2009 the Mazis is the height of seduction. A weightless, totally gracious finish rounds out this nuanced, precise Burgundy. All of the elements are simply in the right place. Bernard Dugat's Mazis-Chambertin is one of the most compelling wines of the vintage. Antonio Galloni. |

Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Feves |
$89 |

|
| |
WS 91 (5/2008): A round red, with black cherry and spice flavors picking up a little iron as this moves across the palate. Well-structured and concentrated, turning more elegant on the refreshing finish. Best from 2012 through 2025. 400 cases imported.
WA 88 (6/2007): From a little-known monopole situated above Cent Vignes, Chanson’s 2005 Beaune Clos des Feves shares with its better-known neighbor high-toned aromas of cherry and cherry pit. In the mouth, licorice, cherry pit, brown spices and wet stones mingle with promising dynamic against a backdrop of firm, fine tannins, and a decidedly bitter-sweet and stony concentration completes a picture that promises positive development over the next several years. Also recommended: 2005 Beaune Teurons (85). |

|
| |
| BH 92 (10/2007): A ripe and spicy dark berry fruit nose that displays plenty of Gevrey earth and lower register game notes that introduce round, rich, delicious and dusty flavors that possess very good if not truly excellent concentration and ample mid-palate sap on the mouth coating and round finish that delivers very solid length. This is relatively forward for the vintage but it will still be a wine in need of the better part of a decade to arrive at its majority. Drink 2013+. |

| |
| BH 91 (10/2007): An understated but pure and ripe nose of primary red berry fruits nuanced by notes of Gevrey earth, underbrush and a hint of the sauvage that continues onto the rich, full, round and sweet flavors that offer good depth if only average concentration but there is a lovely texture and a certain attractive finesse. A quality effort that will need 7 to 10 years to be at its best. Drink 2013+. |

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru (1.5 L) |

|

BH 94 (1/2013): This is impressively ripe yet superbly fresh with black cherry and floral scents that are trimmed in sauvage hints and a background application of wood. There is excellent mid-palate concentration and richness to the powerful, muscular and energetic large-scaled flavors that possess superb reserves of mouth coating dry extract that serves to impart a seductive mouth feel to the dusty, serious, balanced and strikingly long finish. A genuine knockout. Drink 2022+.
VM 92+ (4/2013): (bottled in May of 2012): Good bright, deep red. Medicinal red cherry, raspberry, spices and mint on the vibrant nose. Sweet and suave but at the same time penetrating in the style of the better 2010s, with harmonious acidity framing and energizing the flavors of red fruits, minerals and medicinal herbs. Sexy earth tones contribute complexity, and the long, youthfully tight finish shows an exhilarating spice character. I would not be surprised if this wine merited a higher rating by 2022 or so. |

|
| |
| BH 91-93 (4/2012): ( from a .26 ha parcel of vines planted in 1931 in the climat Champs Traversin, which is occasionally referred to as Le Petit Citeaux). This is quite deeply pitched with a broadly ranging nose of diverse elements that include spice, red and blue pinot fruit, plum, lavender and violets. There is excellent size, weight and richness to the detailed and very well delineated flavors that possess Outstanding depth and length on the balanced and mouth coating finish. Drink 2022+. |

Vosne Romanee Clos de la Fontaine ex-Domaine |
$74.95 |

|
| |
BH 88-91 (4/2017): There is enough wood toast to remark upon surrounding the more deeply pitched nose of spicy red and dark currant aromas that are laced with hoisin and tea scents. The vibrant and velvety middle weight flavors possess a seductive mouth feel before culminating in a delicious and lingering finish. This is sufficiently rich and forward and it could easily be enjoyed young. Drink 2020+.
WA 87-89 (4/2017): The 2015 Vosne Romanee Village Clos de la Fontaine, matured in 40% new oak, has dark berry fruit on the nose, a little reticent and tightly coiled at the moment despite rigorous coaxing. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a little savory in style with touches of cooked meat towards the grainy-textured finish. Moderate in length, this is quite a masculine Vosne-Romanée that should be afforded two years in bottle. Burgundy Report (12/2016): Paler colour, smoky, spicy fruit. A hint of fat, a wave salinity and fine flavour. This will be super. Very long with a super line of flavour. |

Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru (1.5 L) Heavily Scuffed Label |
$649 |
1 |
|
| |
WS 93 (3/2005): Powerful, opulent and densely packed with black cherry, leather, licorice and spice, this is classy and transmits its terroir. Its rich profile is supported by firm, ripe tannins and vibrant acidity. Be patient. Best from 2010 through 2020. 1,700 cases made.
BH 92 (1/2005): Medium ruby. Aromas of wild berries, game and a subtle note of smoke lead to rich, intense, moderately fat flavors that are wonderfully well-balanced largely because of the racy, indeed bright acidity. This has tightened up considerably since it was bottled with a dusty, sweet and precise finish that is strikingly long. In short, delicious yet entirely serious and a wine that should age gracefully for two decades, perhaps longer. Drink 2012+.
VM 92 (4/2005): Good medium red. Superripe, slightly liqueur-like aromas of crushed cherry, smoke, pepper and underbrush. Peppery, penetrating and youthfully tight, with a surprisingly restrained sweetness for 2002. Sharply defined, juicy flavors of raspberry, herbs and spices; conveys a distinct impression of soil character. The finish dusts the palate with white and green pepper and spices. Utterly singular wine. Brouin expressed the opinion that 2001 and 1998 here showcase terroir character, while 2002 and 1999 offer both terroir and fruit. The vines here average 45 years of age despite some recent replanting.
WA 90-92 (6/2004): The medium to full-bodied 2002 Clos des Lambrays sports a nose of freshly laid asphalt, spices, and blackberries. Rich, waxy, and firm, its character offers flavors reminiscent of blackberries, cassis, mocha, chocolate, tar, and licorice. Its firm yet ripe personality will repay patience. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2014. |

Beaune 1er Cru Les Blanches Fleurs ex-Domaine |
$49.99 |
12 |
|
| |
BH 88-90 (4/2017): (a rarely seen split-rated vineyard that adjoins Clos du Roi; this example is from the upper portion that is classified as a 1er.) Here the nose is very, very ripe as there is a wisp of prune to the plum and warm earth aromas. The exceptionally rich, full-bodied and lavish flavors coat the palate with dry extract that also buffers the moderately firm tannins on the seductive finish. This has several appealing attributes but I don't care for the nose. Drink 2021+.
WA 90-92 (12/2016): The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru les Blanches Fleurs is one of my picks from the domaine this year. It offers up redcurrant jus and pomegranate on the nose, one that is well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, very fine tannin; it is harmonious and demonstrating fine mineralité. The precision here deserves a light 'round of applause. |

2015 |
Chorey Les Beaune Les Maladerottes ex-Domaine |
$36.99 |
60 |
|
| |
WA 88-90 (12/2016): The maiden 2015 Chorey-les-Beaune La Maladérotte has fine focus and purity on the nose, strawberry pastilles and dark cherry fruit, both well defined and demonstrating satisfying vigor. The palate is fresh on the entry with fine, grainy tannin. There is moderate depth here and it feels linear at the moment, though it will gain some flesh post-racking. There is good potential here.
BH 87-89 (4/2017): A background hint of wood frames more deeply pitched aromas of plum, violet and plenty of freshly turned earth character. The suave, round and generously proportioned medium weight flavors possess good depth and persistence on the balanced finale that stops just short of being rustic. Drink 2019+. |

Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Les Talmettes ex-Domaine |
$49.99 |

|
| |
| BH 88-91 (4/2017): There is a hint of menthol here as well though it's sufficiently subtle as to easily allow the cooler and more elegant aromas of red cherry, dark currant, earth and discreet forest floor characters to be appreciated. The refinement of the nose carries over to the palate as well as there is a lovely texture to the lightly mineral-infused flavors that possess a bit more freshness and verve as well on the balanced finish. A wine of finesse. Drink 2021+. |

2009 |
Clos de la Roche Grand Cru |
$649 |
1 |
|
| |
WA 96 (4/2012): The 2009 Clos de la Roche wafts from the glass with hints of tobacco, wild flowers and cherries. This is an elegant, refined Clos de la Roche long on finesse and pure sensuality. The gorgeous, finely-knit finish leaves a lasting impression. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039.
BH 95 (1/2012): This is also intensely floral with subtle spice notes on the relatively cool but ripe nose of primarily red berry fruit, lavender and wet stone aromas. There is excellent detail to the tautly muscular and firm yet reasonably refined broad-shouldered flavors that possess superb length. The amount of mid-palate sap is genuinely remarkable and this will permit early accessibility yet it will be capable of aging effortlessly. A wonderfully impressive effort. Drink 2024+.
VM 93+ (4/2012): Very good full red. Lower-pitched on the nose than the Clos Saint-Denis, offering minerals, truffle and underbrush. Sweet, rich, pliant and deep; wonderfully creamy in the middle but with a hard outside shell. Doesn't currently offer the nuance of the Clos Saint-Denis. Finishes with fine tannins and excellent length. This will require at least seven or eight years of patience. |

2009 |
Echezeaux Grand Cru (1.5 L) Lightly Bin-Soiled Label |
$1,300 |
1 |
|
| |
WA 92-95 (5/2011): The 2009 Echezeaux (from one of the cooler sites in the vineyard) hovers on the palate in a weightless expression of grace and class. It is impeccably refined from start to finish, with delicate layers of white flowers and sweet spices that add complexity and nuance to the fruit. The wine’s gorgeous inner fragrance and impossibly fine tannins are first-rate. This is another dazzling wine from Dujac. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2034.
BH 92-94 (1/2011): (from the climat Champs Traversin). An intensely floral, spicy, earthy and ripe nose offers up a densely fruited mix of black pinot fruit, black cherry and cassis aromas. The big-bodied flavors are exceptionally cool and fresh yet the tannins are fully mature as they support and shape the restrained, minerally and impressively persistent finish. Like the Malconsorts, this will require at least 15 years to arrive at its peak. Drink 2024+.
VM 91-93 (2/2011): Good deep red-ruby color. Musky black cherry, black raspberry, chocolate and underbrush on the nose. Then higher-pitched on the palate than the nose would suggest, cool and filigree in style, with limited fat (this is the lowest in alcohol of the Dujac grand crus at 12.6%). Slight gamey complexity. Finishes with firm but suave tannins and a light touch. |

2005 |
Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru La Combe Aux Moines Vieilles Vignes |
$299 |
2 |
|
| |
WA 92-93 (4/2007): The 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe aux Moines smells of bouillon, game, spices, fresh red fruits and a hint of caramel. In the mouth, it offers texturally more refined and more roasted, rich variations on the meaty, mineral themes introduced by Fourrier’s Les Goulots. For all of its ripeness and chalky, stony mineral density, and marrowy depth, this wine (like its siblings, hovering around a mere 13% alcohol) displays dynamism and lift.
BH 91-93 (1/2007): Lower register aromas that feature more earth and underbrush emphases on the otherwise pretty red berry fruit aromas that precede the rich, full and sleekly muscled full-bodied flavors that are wonderfully complex, deep and impressively long. This is unusually stylish for this cru as it offers both style and real punch. Swwet spot Outstanding. Drink: 2014+.
VM 91-94 (4/2007): Bright red-ruby. Raspberry, smoke, spices, mocha and gibiers on the scented, complex, slightly exotic nose; this could only be from Gevrey. Chewy and tactile, with tangy berry and spice flavors complemented by sweet oak. Perfumed and quite fine on the very long finish, which features complex spice notes, a distinctly rocky character and superb energy. Very firmly structured wine from a heat trap of a vineyard where Fourrier has occasionally come across snakes. This was unusually aromatic even in the vat, like the '99, noted Fourrier. |

Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes (375 ML) |
$89 |
1 |
|
| |
BH 88-91 (1/2007): There is no reduction here however as the very fresh, bright and exuberant nose features briar, red and blue fruit and iron-infused earth aromas that complement to perfection the round, rich and sweet flavors that are unusually well-detailed and finish with punch and power. This too is recommended. Drink 2012+. Outstanding! Top value.
VM 88-91 (4/2007): Good bright, deep red. Wilder, musky nose hints at roast coffee. Sweet on entry, then sappy and imploded in the middle, showing less fat than the Echezeaux and a more muscular texture. Ultimately much less sweet than the south-side example. Finishes with substantial building tannins. |

$3,295.99 |
1 |
|
| |
| BH 93 (1/2013): A restrained and discreetly spiced nose features ripe plum and black berry liqueur aromas that precede the broad-scaled, rich and intense flavors that evidence a sleek muscularity on the long and quite punchy finish. Like any number of prior wines, the flavors and finish are underpinned by extremely fine-grained but dense tannins and while this remains a powerful wine, it is relatively sophisticated by the typical standards of Malconsorts. Drink 2022+. Outstanding! |

Volnay 1er Cru Les Fremiets ex-Domaine |
$89.99 |
10 |
|
| |
BH 92 (4/2017): This is slightly riper than the Chevrets though it remains quite fresh with its aromas of plum liqueur, spice and soft floral nuances. There is exceptional richness to the concentrated, suave and highly seductive flavors that are shaped by a firm lashing of tannin on the ever-so-mildly warm finish. Note that this will require at least some patience. Drink 2025+. Sweet Spot Outstanding!
VM 92 (1/2018): Good full red. More brooding, medicinal aromas of redcurrant, dark cherry, spices and earth, complicated by sexy pepper and floral notes that do not come from stems; much more Pommard in style than the Chevrets, which is situated on the opposite, Meursault side of Volnay. Broad, rich, spicy and deep; this plump yet vinous wine conveys the compelling sweetness of the year with perfectly integrated acidity. Finishes very long and spicy, with horizontal, mouthcoating tannins and palate-saturating sweet and savory elements. Stephen Tanzer. |

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuees |
$400 |
2 |
|
| |
BH 90 (1/2005): ( from 50 year old vines - this is Mugnier's favorite vineyard in terms of its fruit quality). There is more of everything here with much deeper and more expressive aromas of black cherry fruit nuanced by really impressive complexity and depth followed by richer, sweeter, sappier flavors that offer excellent length. A very fine effort with solid balance and one that should age extremely well. Drink 2010+. Outstanding!
VM 90 (4/2005): Palish color. Aromas of raspberry, smoke, brown spices and menthol. Silky for the vintage, and deeper than the village wine, with strawberry syrup and brown spice flavors supported by underlying stoniness. Clearly longer on the aftertaste.
WA 89-91 (6/2004): Powerful floral elements perfume the red berry aromas of the 2002 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuees. Sensual, medium-bodied, and silky-textured, it gracefully dances across the palate releasing elegant red fruit flavors. This feminine wine would a delight to drink right from the barrel. Projected maturity: now-2012.
WS 89 (12/2005): This is full of spicy, pure cherry notes. Delicate and juicy, with finesse and firm, dense tannins. Fine, racy acidity. Drink now through 2012. 400 cases made. |

Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets |
$239 |
1 |
|
| |
BH 92 (4/2005): A black fruit nose of superb complexity complements perfectly elegant, pure and impressively textured flavors that offer excellent power and plenty of finishing punch and persistency. There is a solid tannic backbone but there is so much sap and velvet that the structure is completely buried. A terrific effort that has the legs to age for years but could be approached earlier because of the great mid-palate density.
WA (92-94) (6/2004): Surprisingly, given my past proclivities, my favorite of Lafarge’s efforts in this vintage was the 2002 Volnay Caillerets. Displaying exceptional depth, definition, and elegance, it broadens on the palate to reveal sappy red fruits and plums. Medium-bodied, this gorgeously nuanced wine also displays a lengthy, ripe, fruit-filled finish. Projected maturity: 2007-2017.
VM 90+ (4/2005): Deep red. Medicinal black cherry, mint and a hint of older barrel on the nose. Round and ripe, with a note of candied cherry. Subtly intense but offers less early sweetness and inner-mouth perfume than the Chateau des Ducs. Finishes with big, rich, dusty tannin that avoid dryness. Lafarge bought these vines in 2000 and says that the transition to biodynamic farming has been more difficult in this parcel. "But now it's starting to resemble my other wines," says Lafarge, "and getting more Caillerets character." I rather like this. |

1 |
|
| |
| BH 94-96 (1/2012): (from vines adjacent to those of Domaine de la Romanée Conti in Richebourg proper totaling .31 ha; 90% whole cluster vinification.) An intensely floral and gloriously spicy nose of ripe and highly complex black cherry liqueur and rose petal aromas leads to impressively dense and brooding large-scaled flavors that possess fantastic depth and positively stunning length. I have experience with almost every Mongeard Richebourg since the first vintage in 1984 and I have never seen one with more potential than this one though not surprisingly, patience will be needed. In a word, brilliant. Drink 2030+. Don't miss! |

| BH 89 (1/2018): (a .78 ha parcel of vines between 50 and 70 years of age.) This is also sufficiently reduced to require a thorough aeration if you're tempted to sip this in its youth. The medium-bodied flavors possess a slightly finer and rounder mouthfeel while delivering fine length on the slightly more tightly wound and mildly austere finale. This needs at least a few years to round out and mellow. Drink 2023+. Outstanding! |

| Louis Jadot |
2010 |
Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru (1.5 L) |
$299 |
4 |
|
| |
| BH 93 (4/2013): ( from En Gémeaux; these are the oldest vines of the entire Jadot portfolio of owned vineyards.) This was quite reduced at first and required more than an hour of aeration to finally reveal fresh, cool and mineral-inflected red berry fruit, earth, game, humus and forest floor aromas. There is superb intensity to the almost aggressively stone and beautifully well-delineated large-scaled flavors that possess an extremely firm, mouth coating and driving finish. There is a real sense of underlying tension with an overt austerity to the very serious and stunningly long finish. The En Gémeaux character of pungent minerality is about as front and center as I have ever seen it. I repeat that this is at present one very, very austere wine and there is absolutely zero reason to open a bottle young. However, if you choose to commit wine infanticide of such an egregious nature, give it 4 to 6 hours in a decanter. I believe based on how the wine evolved over several days that it will in time be genuinely excellent as the underlying material is certainly present but this is most definitely a "bury in the back of the cellar and forget you own it" Chapelle. Drink 2030+. |

| BH 90-93 (4/2017): (vinified with 40% whole clusters.) Reduction flattens the fruit but the floral characters from the whole cluster ferment are still discernible. Otherwise there is an even finer mouth feel to the more evidently mineral-inflected flavors that aren't quite as rich as those of the Charmes, all wrapped in a dusty, mouth coating and beautifully well-balanced and slightly firmer finish. These two Chambolle 1ers are quite qualitatively similar but offer two very different expressions. Drink 2025+. Outstanding! |

The brooding, intense and muscular flavors possess very fine volume as well as a discreet minerality that continues onto the serious, persistent and balanced finish. This is sufficiently firmly structured to suggest that most of a decade will be necessary for it to arrive at its peak. Worth a look. Drink 2023+. Outstanding Top Value! |

| BH 89-91 (4/2017): (from Vigneux and Les Barreaux.) Gambal always seems to do well with this wine and 2015 is no exception with its exuberantly spicy nose of cassis, plum and Asian-style tea. The opulent and lavishly rich flavors coat the mouth and the old vine sappiness is very much in evidence and particularly so on the impressively long finish as it buffers the moderately firm tannins. Still, this should be reasonably approachable young if desired. Drink 2022+. Outstanding! |

BH 96 (11/2009): This hasn't changed much from when I first reviewed it from bottle in 2007 though it has not shut down in the fashion of many '05s at this point. An expressive and very ripe black berry fruit, spice, mocha, fresh coffee and earthy nose is surrounded by a more moderate touch of oak that continues onto the rich, full, concentrated, powerful and sweet flavors that possess superb mid-palate density and huge length. This is an extremely rich and concentrated wine that will live for ages and in fact, about the only thing that has changed is that it appears even more structured than I initially thought. In a word, fantastic. Try from 2025+.
VM 94+ (4/2008): Deep red-ruby. Explosive nose offers superripe plum jam and chocolate notes complicated by smoked meat and lifted by minerality; some violet and black pepper nuances reminded me of Cote-Rotie. Large-scaled, broad and thick; less racy and delineated today than the young 2006 but then this very young wine's minerality and fruit are currently hidden by its mass of baby fat. Compellingly lush and sweet but a bit monolithic today, with its energy partly hidden: one really feels the sun of the 2005 summer here. The huge but fine tannins, and the 14.3% alcohol, should carry this wine for decades, and my current score may prove to be very conservative.
WA 94 (6/2007): Sylvain Pithiot and his team - whom I did not have a chance to visit in person - scored an impressive success with this venerable Mommessin monopole. For a Burgundy of over 14% alcohol, the 2005 Clos de Tart exhibits remarkably "cool" aromas of blueberry, greenhouse vegetation and flowers, smoked meats, and sea breeze. Nor does its silken-textured, blue- and black-fruited palate impression, while voluminous, evince any heat. Juicy in fruit, savory, saline, and stony throughout, this wine finishes with a lasting impression of concentrated fresh blueberry and blackberry, along with stony, alkaline minerality and black pepper-dusted smoked duck. |

WA 93-94 (6/2007): The Potel 2005 Vosne-Romanee Les Gaudichots offers a nose of cherry, red raspberry and spice box. Cinnamon and white pepper are among those that hitch a ride on the creamy palate, where intensely ripe, sweet red fruits, raw meat, and suggestions of caramelized root vegetables expand to fill all recesses of the mouth. Concentrated and complex manifestations of meat, roasted root vegetables, and mineral along with distilled red fruit suggestions inform the superbly long, multi-registered finish. Amazingly, there are three whole barrels of this.
VM 91-94 (4/2007): Bright red-ruby. Perfumed, high-pitched aromas of raspberry and minerals show an almost liqueur-like quality without losing verve. Suave on entry, then bracing and stylish in the middle, with powerfully sappy dark fruit, smoke and mineral flavors framed by juicy acidity. Youthfully backward today but mounts slowly and impressively, finishing with a whiplash of flavor accented by an almost peppery impression of extract. Serious, structured, very young wine with a long life ahead of it.
BH 91-93 (6/2007): A distinctly different and explosively kaleidoscopic nose features red, black and blue fruit aromas with notes of anise, clove, soy, hoisin and a touch of oak merges into supple, detailed and admirably pure flavors that possess serious depth and a touch of finishing wood on the hugely long finish. Lovely juice. Drink 2013+. Outstanding! |
