Powerful on the attack. The palate is full of flavours of ripe fruit and toast. Tannins are smooth and silky, a true expression of the Merlot grape. The finish is long-lasting and includes notes of toast and vanilla.id 373

A rather cool and attractive presence on the palate, but a big and firm character, nicely composed with very well-knit but obvious tannins. Well-rounded, with a clean backbone of acidity. It has excellent promise for the future.id 371

Deep dark ruby color with velvety nuances. Highly dense and complex nose of ripe black fruit with overtones of licorice and sweet spices. The wine displays a great mouthfeel wich leads the way to a full, smooth and lingering finish. Unctuous aftertaste with great character.id 265

This is a light white wine, pale gold in colour with strong green hues. Its fresh and simple flavours are evocative of grape, green apple, and lemon. Its vividness and dominant tartness are enhanced by a discreet but adequate suppleness. It offers a pleasant aromatic persistency of a fine subtlety.id 164

Aromas and flavors of gooseberry and melon permeate this fresh, brisk white. Firmly structured and focused, it tails off on the finish,but will make a tasty aperitif or partner to oysters and shellfish.id 165

“This too is mildly reduced with very ripe earthy violet and black fruit-infused aromas that complement the rich, sweet and beautifully detailed full-bodied flavors that are complex, powerful and tightly knit on the impressively long finish. Like the Clos des Langres, this delivers simply outstanding quality for what it is. Also recommended.” A. Meadows 89-91 ptsid 278

“This is reserved to the point of being inexpressive at present, revealing only glimpses of red pinot fruit with hints of underbrush though the flavors are anything but shy as there is excellent power, richness and a firm minerality present on the energetic, complex and beautifully pure finish. A lovely wine with muscle.” Allen Meadows 89-91 ptsid 26

Brilliantly ruby red with hints of blue, "Les Champs Pimont" is imbued with a fragrance of cherry, strawberry, and a touch of mocha. In the mouth, it shows strawberry in its youth and jammy plum when it has developed with age. Always an elegant, balanced and charming wine with good structure and supple tannins.id 377

“Here there is a different aromatic profile that is distinctly fruity but not simple or vulgar, running mostly to red berries, particularly raspberry and cherry that introduce delicious, generous and fleshy flavors supported by a firm spine of ripe tannins. This is very Beaune in style with good punch.” Allen Meadows 89 ptsid 184

A soft, white from a region best known for red, the Beaune 1er Cru is round, friendly, yet subtly powerful. Pale yellow in color, with hints of green, and well-developed peach, apricot and lemon flavors. Soft and clean on the palate, with a lasting finish.id 15

“A relatively high-toned red berry fruit nose with moderately earthy middle weight lavors that are round, sweet and nicely detailed and while there is a trace of finishing rusticity, it’s mild. While this is not a wine of finesse, there is good character and this is a better than average example of the genre crafted in a forward style.” Allen Meadowsid 28

The grapes were sourced from grapevines located in the south of Burgundy near Puligny and Meursault. 1/3 of the wine stayed in contact with its lees for 11 months, while the other 2/3 were fermented and aged in stainless steel. The two parts were then blended together, filtered, and bottled.id 376

Lime blossom, apple, peach, and mineral aromas and flavors are fixed by the vibrant acidity. Elegant and graceful, with intensity and a sense of terroir.id 16

"This is again a beautiful wine...a floral and relatively expressive nose for a young Clos de Vougeot of earthy dark berry fruit aromas merges into powerful yet precise flavors that deliver a real sense of volume and drive on the long and superbly complex finish..." Allen Meadows: 91-94 ptsid 379

"A strikingly elegant and high-toned nose of green apple, white flower, and hints of lemon rind merge into intensely stony and pure full-bodied flavors that deliver excellent punch and length on the explosive finish. This is still a bit awkward but this indisputably possesses the best material in the range." Allen Meadowsid 174

A gentle touch of wood spice frames the ripe, serious and brooding earthy and intensely animale dark berry fruit aromas that introduce the rich, powerful and palate drenching flavors that are textured, well-muscled and focused on the explosive finish. This is like a vinous bomb detonating on the palate and it’s hugely long.id 181

“The rich, full and nicely detailed flavors are quite firmly structured with a linear, indeed almost aggressively compact structure that is not necessarily powerful but rather focused and intense, driven more by an intense minerality than raw muscle.” Allen Meadows 89-92 ptsid 180
