Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Chalumeaux is graced with considerable finesse in its citrus, white flowers and licorice. The Chalumeaux is one of the more restrained wines here. As such, it is quite a bit less overt and forward, but instead relies on its class and mid-palate length. There is a..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Smoke, slate, super-ripe apricots and butter are some of the many notes that are woven together in the 2010 Meursault Charmes. A generous, large-scaled wine, the Charmes flows with tons of textural richness and body all the way through to the seamless finish. The Charmes is easily one of the more..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Vougeot Clos du Prieure Blanc caresses the palate with citrus, white flowers and minerals. There is a level of detail and nuance that distinguishes this undeniably appealing wine."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bright medium yellow. Ripe peach and nectarine aromas complicated by flowers, dusty brown spices and vanillin oak. Ripe and smooth on the palate, with an impression of dusty extract to the peach and floral flavors. This nicely balanced wine shows better flavor intensity and freshness in bottle..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Elegant acacia blossom, lemon zest, stone and pain grille suffused nose... excellent intensity... lovely depth on the mouth coating and impressively persistent finish... a wine of class and grace."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Moderate reduction knocks the nose down and renders it difficult to properly evaluate though there are no such issues with the rich, generous and solidly voluminous middle weight flavors that possess plenty of mid-palate sap before ending in a delicious and lightly mineral-infused finish. This..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is aromatically less refined but more complex with its expressive and rather pungent nose of hazelnut, green fruit, herbal, pear and just a hint of wood. There is excellent volume to the extract rich, powerful and solidly well-concentrated medium weight flavors that possess excellent..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bold, direct and voluptuous. Nectarines, honey, flowers and spices all wrap around the palate in this big generous Charmes. A vein of minerality runs through the fruit, giving the wine its sense of energy and proportion. In 2010, the Charmes is especially rich, layered and unctuous." WA

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A deft touch of wood sets off pungent green fruit, pear, lemon rind, stone and lime/grapefruit hints. There is excellent size, weight and concentration to the mineral-inflected large-scaled flavors that terminate in a chiseled finish of crystalline purity. This is really impressive but note well..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Clos de la Marechale Blanc shows off fabulous balance and cool, insistent minerality. It boasts tremendous energy in its chiseled notes of lemon, crushed rocks and white flowers. The aromas, flavors and minerality are pure Chardonnay but there is a breadth to the wine..
