Cellar/Tasting Notes
"True to the Mugnier style, this is also wonderfully pure with its expressive nose of earthy red pinot fruit that also exhibits notes of underbrush and a mineral component that is picked up by the vibrant and well-delineated middle weight flavors. The mid-palate is relatively refined and the Nuits..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is also quite spicy with ripe and well-layered aromas of red and blue pinot fruit that is satisfyingly fresh. The rich, dense and enveloping flavors possess excellent phenolic maturity as well as outstanding depth and length on the mouth coating finish..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A very pure extract of red pinot fruit nose is liberally laced with earth and rose petal hints that give way to rich, full-bodied and tautly muscular medium weight plus flavors that possess mouth coating extract. There is a restrained character to the beautifully balanced, long and moderately..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Not surprisingly, this is markedly more elegant with a lightly spiced nose of violets, plums and cassis plus nuances of earth and stone. There is excellent richness to the generous and mouth coating medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by a firm but ripe tannic spine that culminates in a..

"The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Damodes emerges from the glass with layers of rich, sumptuous fruit. This is an especially silky, round Damodes. I especially like the way the wine blossoms on the palate with an intricate fabric of expressive fruit..."

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 seemingly buckets of dry extract on the long, balanced and mineral-driven finish. This is a big, indeed..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Pinot Noir Lindsay Estate is once again impeccable. Silky, suave tannins buffer layers of expressive dark red fruit. Today the 2010 Lindsay comes across as a bit inward, but there is no denying the wine’s elegant, polished personality."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The nose is quite similar to that of the Fuées except that here there is a bit more oak influence. As is almost always the case, the mouth feel is less refined but more muscular with good power, volume and punch to the medium-bodied flavors that finish with excellent length. This should also amply..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Moderate wood frames a very pretty nose of high-toned raspberry, cherry and subtle menthol nuances. There is plenty of the characteristic minerality to the refined and attractively vibrant medium weight flavors that possess a distinctly saline character on the clean and mildly austere finish. The..
