The Côte d'Or (usually translated as "Golden Slope," but more likely a truncated version of Côte d'Orient, or "east[-facing] slope") runs roughly from Dijon south to just past Beaune and is marked by alluvial deposits of limestone and marl. It is further bifurcated into northern and southern sectors, the Côte de Nuits the Côte de Beaune, respectively.

The Côte de Nuits produces red wine almost exclusively, while production in the Côte de Beaune is split relatively evenly between red and white. More

Bouchard Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots 1er Cru 1999 (14957)

750ml

$124.95

IWC 90–92

In stock, 5 available

90-92 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Deep ruby. Superripe aromas of blackberry liqueur, raspberry and dark chocolate, along with some minty high tones; I was reminded of both ruby port and Languedoc syrah. Thick, huge and almost aggressively youthful; very powerful but is it pinot? Firm acids give shape to the flavors. Finishes quite powerful and long, with a late note of coffee. (Mar/Apr 2001)"

AM 89–92

In stock, 12+ available

90-93 points Fine Wine Review: "The Vosne-Suchots is the only wine here that Bouchard buys already made. The nose is dark with minerality. In the mouth, the fruit is dark and there is acidity that gives nervosity. Plenty of tannin here, too. This wine comes from the bottom portion of the vineyard. (Issue #130; 2011)"

89-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Proust said that this was not vinified by Bouchard. A ripe, spicy and intensely menthol-suffused nose gives way to rich, mouth coating and opulently sappy flavors are shaped by notably firm tannins that are robust and, somewhat unusually, actually rustic, all wrapped in a solidly lingering finish. This is quite good without ascending to distinguished status. Drink: 2021+. (May 2011)"

Bouchard Vosne-Romanee Malconsorts 1er Cru 2006 (315437)

750ml

$109.95

FWR 90–94

AM 92

IWC 90–92

In stock, 10 available

90-94 points Fine Wine Review: "The Vosne-Malconsorts, from an excellent location at the northern (abutting La Tâche) end of that vineyard, is exciting in the nose with precise gamy and spicy aromas. In the mouth, the wine shows minerality, liveliness, some black licorice, and excellent length. Only a touch of softness on the end prevented me from being even more enthusiastic about the wine. (Issue #119; 2008)"

'Outstanding' and 92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A bit surprisingly, this is even more elegant than the Suchots with a pure and gorgeously spicy nose that features notes of hoisin, clove, cinnamon and soy that complements perfectly the supple, refined and focused medium-bodied flavors that possess a sleek muscularity on the strikingly long finish. This is a beautifully seductive effort that actually is slightly longer than the Suchots but doesn't quite have the same level of dry extract. A choice. Drink: 2014+. (Apr 2008)"

90-92 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good dark red. Hints of smoke and licorice on the rather laid-back but wild nose. Round, rich and deep, showing more weight but less early sex appeal than the Suchots. Best today on the lush, expanding back end, which features roast coffee and underbrush nuances and suggestions of very ripe fruit. This is still a baby. Prost notes that the berries here are always very ripe, but that the Suchots fruit comes in with firmer skins and normally makes a fresher style of wine. The Malconsorts, he says, shows deeper earth tones. (Mar/Apr 2008)"

Bouvier/René Bourgogne En Montre-Cul 2009 (312058)

750ml

$26.95

In stock, 12+ available

La Revue du Vin de France "Best Wines of France 2011": "Bernard Bouvier personifies the young generation of winemakers who have brought new blood to Burgundy. Having, like many others, yielded to the lure of modern winemaking, the domaine made some adjustments and the wines now tend to express more finesse. This year, we can speak of overall success in this area, which deserves its first star."

Not yet reviewed; Fine Wine Review on the 2008 vintage: "This is a producer who does not have high-profile vineyards, but delivers excellent quality for what he has and at moderate prices. Bouvier’s Bourgogne, En Montre Cul is from a well-known vineyard in Couchey, at the northern end of the Côte des Nuits. It is floral in the nose and shows light, floral red fruit flavors in the mouth. It is a prime example of how delightful a simple Bourgogne can be. I’d drink over the next 6-8 years."

JG 90

In stock, 1 available

89-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from purchased grapes that made 5 barrels or approximately 125 cases). Interestingly, this is actually more elegant than the Chambolle and certainly more complex though a good deal more reserved too and it takes some active swirling to induce the spicy black and blue berry fruit aromas to reveal themselves. The supple and round flavors are not quite as concentrated as the best in the range but the tannins are wonderfully refined and the depth and length on the mouth coating finish make this quite promising. Drink: 2013+. (Jan 2008)"

90+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "There are only five barrels of this premier cru Vosne as well, and four out of the five will be new in 2006. The bouquet is deep and very lovely, as it offers up notes of black cherries, black raspberries, woodsmoke, cocoa powder, a touch of game, a strong base of soil and a framing of spicy oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep, long and structured, with fine mid-palate depth and currently showing a bit of its oak tannin on the backend that closes with a note of espresso. There should be no difficulty with this wine eventually absorbing its new oak, but I would really like to see this wine with less new oak as it would really allow the terroir to take center stage. 2016-2040+. (Mar/Apr 2008)"

IWC 91

Pre-arrival, 12+ available

91 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Medium red. Expressive nose combines roasted red berries, cherry liqueur and musky minerality. Supple, silky and seamless, with mellow flavors of cherry, redcurrant and smoky oak given clarity by bright minerality. Not quite as vibrant as some recent vintages of this superb premier cru but this is delicious wine. Finishes lush and subtle, with even tannins. (Mar/Apr 2001)"

Pre-arrival, 7 available

93-97 points Fine Wine Review: "The Nuits-Cailles is stony and balsamic in the nose. In the mouth, the wine is ample, and cool with balsamic and smoky elements, and great precision and purity to its dark fruit. (Issue #130; 2011)"

95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2009 les Cailles from the Chevillons is simply stunning, as it soars from the glass in a flamboyant nose of black cherries, blood orange, bitter chocolate, stunning minerality, woodsmoke, a touch of gamebird, dried violets and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very, very pure, with a great core of fruit, bright acids, ripe tannins and magical length and grip on the youthful and intensely flavored finish. This is a great, great example of Chevillon les Cailles. 2020-2070. (Nov/Dec 2010)"

93-95 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Bright dark red. Knockout nose combines raspberry, crushed stone, spicy oak, minerals and leather. Wonderfully tangy and delineated but at the same time seamless, with superb energy and concentration to its raspberry and spice flavors. Finishes very long and scented, with substantial fine tannins. A wine of great finesse: this would provide fodder for those who believe this vineyard is capable of performing at grand cru level. (Jan/Feb 2011)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Cailles bursts from the glass with an exciting melange of smoky dark fruit, new leather, tar and licorice. It is another implosive, young wine that will require considerable patience. The energy and verve both bode well for the future. Exotic spices and dark fruit emerge even more fully as the wine fleshes out on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. (Apr 2012)"

'Sweet spot Outstanding' and 92-94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.12 ha parcel of 75+ year old vines). Reduction makes the nose impossible to fairly evaluate. However the serious, brooding and powerful medium weight plus flavors possess buckets of extract that confer a seductive and velvety mouth feel to the driving, palate staining and explosively long finish. This is another extraordinary vintage for this wine in a long line of them. Drink: 2021+. (Jan 2011)"

90-93 points Fine Wine Review: "The Nuits-Roncières was racked at the same time as the Bousselots. The wine is smoky and stony in the nose. In the mouth, it is stony, pure, and energetic with earthy red fruits. (Issue #128; 2010)"

92 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The ’08 Roncières, like the Bousselottes, had been racked fifteen days before my visit. However, it too was very much on form and showing beautifully. The bouquet is a fine, complex mélange of sappy red and black cherries, nutskins, gamebirds, lovely soil tones, a touch of wood and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and rock solid at the core, with fine balance, ripe tannins and a very long, soil-driven and tangy finish. Very classy juice. 2016-2035+. (Nov/Dec 2009)"

90-91 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "[$75 list] Concentrated fresh cherry and veal-stock meatiness mingle in the Chevillon 2008 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Roncieres, complimented by a hint of caramel from barrel. Peat-like smokiness and soy-like savor add intrigue and enticement to another sappily-concentrated, fine-grained Chevillon 2008 that projects admirable, vintage-typical energy and exerts amazing pull on the salivary glands. (Jun 2010)"

List $90.00

90-94 points Fine Wine Review: "Chevillon’s Nuits-Roncières is less deep than the previous two wines (we’ve switched here from the Côte de Vosne to the central part of Nuits) but more stony with ripe tannins that are most evident. The overall profile of the wine is one of coolness. (Issue #130; 2011)"

90-93 points and 'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.0 ha parcel of 45+ year old vines). Moderate wood influence does not unduly hamper the attractiveness of the otherwise fresh and bright earthy and high-toned red pinot fruit suffused nose. The rich and solidly structured medium-bodied flavors possess copious amounts of mid-palate sap, which is a good thing because the impressively persistent finish is firm to the point of being chewy. This is potentially the best example of the Chevillon Roncières that I have ever seen from cask though note that patience will be required. Drink: 2019+. (Jan 2011)"

90-93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Bright, dark red. Cooler aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, smoke and minerals. Juicy, tight and firmly built; sweet but not at all cooked. This pure, fruity wine shows very good energy from calcaire Finishes with fine-grained tannins and lovely lingering perfume. An excellent early showing for this wine. (Jan/Feb 2011)"

93-97 points Fine Wine Review: "Last, the Nuits-Vaucrains is stony and mineral in the nose. In the mouth, the wine is nervy with dark fruits and juiciness and minerality. The wine shows length, precision, and excellent tannins, but will need some aging time. (Issue #128; 2010)"

94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2008 Vaucrains was showing as well as any wine in the cellar on this trip. The bouquet is simply beautiful, as it offers up scents of red berries, cherries, blood orange, great, stony soil tones, a touch of vinesmoke and the faintest whisper of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and strikingly pure and transparent, with a rock solid core of red fruit, great nervosité, impeccable focus and a very long, ripely tannic and tangy finish. A superb Vaucrains. 2018-2050+. (Nov/Dec 2009)"

93-94 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "The Chevillon 2008 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains projects an amazing sense of deep, dark concentration. Latakia tobacco; peat; rushed stone; roasted red meats; soy; and ripe, fresh blackberry inform the nose and absolutely stain the palate. The tannins here are as ultra-fine as they are formidable, and the tug on my salivary glands as relentless as are the finishing flavors. If this doesn’t leave you reaching for a napkin or your lips fluttering, probably no wine will. The energy and salinity here render a wine that you feel as if you must strain through your teeth nonetheless fleet-of-foot, enticing, and invigorating. (Jun 2010)"

92-94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.5 ha parcel). Ripe, elegant and dense aromas of blue and black pinot fruit plus floral nuances and one can smell the concentration of the rich, thick, mouth coating and impressively scaled flavors that stain the palate with chewy pinot extract and culminates in a textured, structured and superbly long finish that should be capable of extended aging. Magnificent. Comments: Sweet spot Outstanding. Drink: 2020+. (Jan 2010)"

91-94 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Deep, bright ruby-red. Black raspberry and chocolate aromas are complemented by sweet oak. Less refined than the Saint-Georges or Cailles but solidly built and quite powerful, with a youthfully medicinal character to the blast of dark fruit flavors. Extremely primary and impressively long. This may need the most patience of this excellent set of 2008s. (Mar/Apr 2010)"

17/20 points Jasper Morris (The World of Fine Wine): "Full color; rich, generous, plummy nose; exciting potential. Good weight and enough fruit to uncover the bones. (Issue #34; 2011)"

The nose is a very refined, spicy blend of red cherries, pomegranate, classic Nuits notes of nutskin, fresh herbs, coffee and minerals. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely reserved, with a fine core of fruit, very lovely focus and balance, suave tannins, sound acids and very good length and grip on the complex and youthful finish.

Marsannay Rosé is unique in that Marsannay is the only village appellation in Burgundy that offers the full range of white, red and rosé wines. Bruno Clair's rosé is part of its family history since the owner's grandfather, after returning from the war in 1919, had the idea to vinify the grapes of Pinot Noir into rosé wine for the first time. The success of this original wine was such that it became a specialty of the commune and acquired a certain amount of fame, which spread across France. The characteristics of this rosé are its fruitiness and unique flavors of Pinot Noir.

Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy) on Clavelier's La Combe d'Orveau: "Whatever the merits of Bruno's view that this vineyard could have been classified as grand cru, the wine is certainly spectacular, with many of the sublime qualities of Musigny though perhaps a touch more austere. The perfumed bouquet is superb though. (2010)"

Clive Coates (The Wines of Burgundy): "Bruno Clavelier (b. 1964), a qualified oenologue, took over the vines of his parents and maternal grandparents (Brosson) in 1987 and has since enlarged this domaine by extending it into Nuits-Saint-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin... The average age of the vines is old here. The fruit is 90 percent de-stemmed and the wine... matured using a maximum of 35 percent new oak. The wines are not filtered. Full, rich and perfumed: this is quality produce. (2008)"

Quite promising. Comments: Sweet spot. Drink: 2018+. (Jan 2010)"

91-94 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good medium red. Red fruits, smoked meat (Serrano ham?) and sexy oak on the nose, lifted by a floral topnote. Big, lush, fine-grained and sweet; opulent and harmonious wine with the fat to enrobe its substantial chewy tannins. Finishes taut but this is much less austere than I would have expected from this vineyard in this vintage. Clavelier actually compared it in style to his 2007. (Mar/Apr 2010)"

I very much like the way this fans out on the finish as the breadth is inspired. Note that plenty of patience is a requisite here. Drink: 2025+. (Jan 2012)"

91-93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good full red. Complex, showy aromas of fig, spices, coffee, smoke and mocha. Large-scaled, round and sweet; the fullest and most expressive of these 2010s today, and harmonious already. Finishes with round tannins and smoky oak. 'No punishment for the mouth,' notes Clavelier. This soil-inflected Corton from marly soil could hardly be more different in style from the estate's cuvees from calcaire. (Jan/Feb 2012)"

'Outstanding' and 90-93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "While the nose is mildly troubled by noticeable reduction, it's not so heavy that the solid ripeness of the fruit cannot be discerned. There is excellent size and weight to the medium-weight flavors that are blessed with fine phenolic ripeness of the supporting tannins on the very earthy, racy and firm finish. I very much like the intensity and underlying tension though note that this will require plenty of cellar time. Drink: 2022+. (Jan 2012)"

90-92 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Pale, bright red. Very fine, pure aromas of red fruits and flowers. Pristine, fresh and airy but not currently showing the texture or nuance of Clavelier's wines from Chambolle-Musigny. A bit narrow on the finish but long. This very youthful wine was racked and sulfited a week before my visit and will need retasting in its finished form. (Jan/Feb 2012)"

94 points Fine Wine Review: "The Nuits-Cras, from the northern slope of Nuits that continues on to Vosne-Romanée, has an explosive nose with leather, small herbs, and dark cherry aromas. In the mouth, the wine is harder than the Combe d’Orveaux with dark fruit, elegance, and a lovely quality of filtering over the tongue. This wine, too, is approachable now, but may last to 2040, again with an interim closed period. (Issue #126; 2009)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$150 list] A rich, civilized Nuits, supple and packed with both red and black cherry notes and an underlying iron component. Lest you think it's easy, there's a firm structure and a hint of the feral, untamed side of the appellation. Fine length. Best from 2011 through 2022. 100 cases made. (2009)"

89-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(a superbly situated Nuits 1er in the Vosne sector that abuts Boudots). The first wine to display more than a touch of wood influence but here it's noticeable if not actually intrusive. An elegant nose of primarily red berry fruits laced with just a hint of the sauvage and obvious minerality leads to solidly concentrated and deep flavors that possess excellent energy and punch on the beautifully long finish. This is not exactly a wine of finesse but neither is it rustic and I very much like the intense limestone influence. Comments: Outstanding. Drink: 2013+. (Jan 2008)"

91 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "[$150 list] Good deep red. Expressive aromas of black cherry, licorice and smoky oak. Sweet, round and concentrated; in a more approachable, less tightly coiled style than Clavelier's wines from Chambolle and Vosne in '06, no doubt due to the sandier soil here. I find this much less medicinal than a barrel sample I tasted a year ago. Ripe, harmonious acidity and smooth tannins should give this wine considerable early appeal. (Mar/Apr 2011)"

On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and nicely reserved in style, with a sappy core of fruit, outstanding soil inflection, ripe, fine-grained tannins and excellent length and grip on the focused and youthful finish. This is a fine, fine example of this great premier cru. 2020-2060. (Jun 2012)"

90-93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "(racked without exposure to air): Medium red. Red fruits and a whiff of peach on the slightly reduced nose. Juicy and pure, with lovely cut and a low-pH mouth feel to the crystalline red fruit and crushed stone flavors. Comes across as a deeper and fresher version of the Combe Brulee, with its saline character in harmony with its superb fruit. Finishes with silky tannins. (Jan/Feb 2012)"

90-93 points Fine Wine Review: "The Vosne-Brulées was only about 30-40% through its malolactic fermentation when I tasted, so this is a more tentative judgment than usual. Cassis dominates the nose and continues on the palate along with other dark fruits. The wine is dense, pure, intense, and nervy. (Issue #134; 2011)"

90-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from 50+ year old vines). Once again, reduction knocks down the nose though the attractively rich flavors offer fine size and weight plus very good mid-palate concentration. There is a lovely texture on the subtly mineral-inflected, racy, intense and mildly austere finish and I like the overall sense of harmony here and the refinement of the moderately firm structural elements is evident. Drink: 2020+. (Jan 2012)"

89-91 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(55+ year old vines situated right below Suchots). An exotically spiced nose of dark berry fruit with a hint of cassis leads to round, generous and notably rich medium-bodied flavors that possess fine volume on the complex and slightly more firmly structured finish. While the quality of these two villages-level efforts is similar, I slightly prefer the finesse and delicacy of the Combe Brûlée. Comments: Outstanding. Drink: 2018+. (Jan 2012)"

88-91 points Fine Wine Review: "The Vosne, Hautes-Maizières shows dark fruit with density, minerality, and more weight than the Combe Brulée. (Issue #134; 2011)"

94-96 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2010 Clos de Tart is still a work in progress, but this early tasting is fascinating. Layers of deep, dark fruit nearly jump from the glass in this exotic, full-bodied Clos de Tart. Crushed flowers, violets and spices develop over time as the wine gains its easy upper register. The tannins are very firm, but there appears to be more than enough fruit to provide balance. This is going to be a fascinating wine to follow over the coming years and decades. Today it is shaping up to be a gem. Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045. (Feb 2012)"

95 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "[$450 list] Good full red. Deep, sweet, classic Clos de Tart aromas and flavors of dark raspberry, dried flowers, minerals and fresh violet and rose. Dense, round, superripe and compellingly sweet but not a bit roasted. Utterly mouthfilling, fine-grained wine with a broad, wonderfully sweet finish that saturates the entire palate and builds impressively. The serious, noble tannins arrive late. The pH here is in the 3.55 to 3.6 range, according to winemaker Sylvain Pitiot. The cool harvest of 2010 was perfect for Pitiot's late-picking strategy, as this wine is dense and fully ripe without excessive alcohol or any dehydrated fruit character. (Mar/Apr 2013)"

93-96 points Fine Wine Review: "The 2010 will be made up of about 50% whole cluster fermentation. Alcohol is about 13.5%, which for me is key -- some vintages have been too ripe (exceeding 14%), in my view, but when the alcohol is under control, the greatness of this vineyard shines through. The approximate assemblage shows blackberry and other fruits that are fresh and spicy with precision, power, and elegance -- just what a Clos de Tart should be. (Issue #134; 2011)"

94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A ripe but cool and highly complex nose of moderately wooded aromas of violets, cassis, black berry and anise hints. The superbly rich and velvety broad-shouldered flavors possess outstanding size, weight and mid-palate concentration that coats the palate with dry extract and enrobes the firm tannic spine to the point where it is more of a background element than usual. There is excellent energy and precision to the dusty, pure and driving finish. This well-balanced effort should require between 15 and 18 years of cellar time to be at its best. Drink: 2025+. (Jan 2013)"

94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2010 Clos de Tart is one of my favorite recent vintages of this fine grand cru, but again, stylistically, it might be quite a bit more sophisticated if less emphasis were placed in the cellar on its pricey smorgasbord of toney tonneliers. That said, the wine is excellent, as it offers up a deep and polished nose of black cherries, dark plums, raw cocoa, dark soil tones, woodsmoke and a suave coating of coffee-like new wood. The wood treatment here reminds me strongly of the 2009 Lafite. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and very velvety on the attack, with a fine core of fruit, ripe tannins and a long, tangy and beautifully focused finish. This is a great terroir and I would be delighted to see more emphasis placed on this aspect of the finished wine, but it seems to me that the folks at Clos de Tart are more interested in trying to mimic Bordeaux and produce a vin de luxe, rather than a great, classic grand cru Burgundy. But, all in all, it is hard not to be swayed by how well the 2010 Clos de Tart has turned out in its luxuriant style. 2020-2060. (Jun 2012)"

94-96 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2010 Volnay Champans wafts from the glass with an ethereal, nearly weightless personality that is hard to describe. There is plenty of length and sensuality, but in a suspended state that seems to hover above the palate. The Champans is delicate, feminine and flat-out beautiful. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2040. (Feb 2012)"

'Outstanding' and 94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a huge 3.98 ha parcel). Initially there is a touch of reduction though aggressive swirling liberates the admirably pure, fresh and elegant nose of a plenitude of floral notes along with a ripe mix of red berries and iron, stone and earth hints. There is good power and excellent complexity to the wonderfully well-delineated medium weight flavors that possess fine phenolic ripeness and superb energy on the focused, linear and stunningly long and saline-infused finish. This is a seriously impressive effort that is built to age. Drink: 2025+. (Apr 2012)"

94 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good medium red. Knockout nose melds raspberry, minerals and flowers complicated by smoky soil tones. Sappy, intense and vibrant yet silky too, with an exhilarating rose petal quality to its red berry and mineral flavors; really captures the inner-mouth tension and precision of the vintage. Finishes with superb horizontal tannins and outstanding mounting length. Impeccably balanced from start to finish. (Mar/Apr 2013)"

91-95 points Fine Wine Review: "Overall, this looks like a good vintage at d’Angerville with the potential at the upper end to become an outstanding one... The Champans is sensual, as is typical of the vineyard, flowing, and smooth with red fruit and more volume than the Taillepieds. This is the second consecutive year that Champans has been shown after the Taillepieds; previously the order was reversed. (Issue #137; 2013)"

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The malo for the Champans had finished up six weeks before my visit and the wine was showing very well indeed. The bouquet is deep, complex and very sappy, as it jumps from the glass in a beautiful mélange of pomegranate, cherries, blood orange, coffee, peonies, lovely soil tones, fresh herbs and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very elegant (particularly for a young Champans), with very good focus and balance, refined tannins and excellent length and grip on the tangy and nuanced finish. Good juice. 2020-2060. (Nov/Dec 2011)"
