Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bright, deep red. Aromas of black cherry, licorice and minerals. Vibrant and pure, with terrific sappy energy framing the primary flavors of crushed red cherry and minerals. This fruit bomb is enlivened by fruity, peppery acidity."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... wood combines with notes of menthol and extract of red berry fruit, earth, underbrush and game hints. There is a bit more verve to the suave and seductively textured mineral-driven flavors that offer fine depth and excellent persistence..." — Allen Meadows

Cellar/Tasting Notes
One of the 26 Premiers Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin, Estournelles Saint Jacques lies on a steep, southeastern slope with calcareous clay soils that bear a similarity to the soils of nearby Grands Crus. An elegant, full-bodied wine of deep color with aromas and flavors of black currants and other black..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Opaque ruby. Powerful yet refined aromas of dark berries and minerals, complicated by smoke and floral nuances. Then supple, suave and focused, with sexy inner-mouth perfume, sweet dark fruit flavors and a pliant texture. Repeats the floral note strongly on the smooth, expansive and very long..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Relatively strong wood influence fights somewhat with the otherwise expressive nose that is comprised of spice, earth, menthol and cassis aromas. There is fine intensity to the attractively, even seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess focused power and punch on the balanced and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Les Cazetiers 2010 has a pronounced and intense aromatic nose. The palate is firm with generous fruit, full fleshy tannins and spicy notes. Its balanced and fresh, with a nice depth that will keep for years to come.

Chateau Canon's wines are aged in oak barrels for 18 to 20 months. 50 to 70% of the barrels used each year are new, depending on the quality and needs of the vintage. The wines are racked into clean barrels every 3 months as part of a process that removes sediments from the wine. Six months before..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A notably ripe and highly complex nose of red and black pinot fruit is cut with stone, earth and plum aromas. The big-bodied, dense and entirely serious, medium-weight-plus flavors brim with buckets of dry extract on the long, balanced and mineral-driven finish."
