Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Strong sulfur renders the nose almost unreadable and about all that can be discerned is that the underlying fruit appears ripe. There is good volume to the rich, mouth coating and delicious medium weight flavors that offer outstanding intensity along with excellent length. If this can add depth in..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A nice contrast to the Macherelles, the 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Maltroye is quite a bit brighter and more taut than its Chassagne sibling. There is an underlying salinity that gives the Maltroye its energy and focus. Floral notes add lift on the crystalline, articulate finish. This is a..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"More moderate though far from invisible wood frames distinctly spicy and sauvage aromas of menthol, earth, plum and smoked meat nuances. There is fine volume and solid ripeness to the very firm supporting tannins that shape the medium weight and quite suave flavors that possess a bit more punch..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bruno Clair’s 2009 Savigny-les-Beaune La Dominode is fabulous in this vintage. The warmth of the year has filled out the wine beautifully. The 2009 is ripe, exotic and flashy. I especially admire the juxtaposition of fleshiness and insistent minerality." (Antonio Galloni)

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
"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
"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
"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..
