2015  Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts

Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts -- "This too is notably ripe yet manages to remain wonderfully fresh with its super-spicy aromas of red currant, cherry, raspberry and lavender. There is terrific verve and power to the big-bodied, mineral-driven and concentrated flavors that deliver superb depth and length on the almost painfully intense finale. However despite all of the concentration and overt muscularity this very, very firmly structured effort remains faultlessly well-balanced though note well that this is going to require an extended snooze in a cool cellar. This is reference standard Malconsorts." - 95pts/Outstanding from the Burghound

2015  Romanee Saint-Vivant Grand Cru

Romanee Saint-Vivant Grand Cru -- "An overtly floral, elegant and airy nose displays a huge array of spice elements on the red currant, cherry, tea, hoisin and lavender scents. The super-refined middle weight flavors possess a gorgeously sophisticated mouth feel that is at once silky yet packing plenty of punch that continues onto the harmonious finish where the persistence lasts for several minutes. I was knocked out by the palate impression because when RSV is "on", the finesse is unmatched by any of the other grands crus in Burgundy. This is quite simply a 'wow' wine." - 94-97pts/Don't Miss! from the Burghound

2015  Les Pruliers

Les Pruliers -- "This is often Taupenot's best 1er and in 2015 it is again with its brooding aromas of spice, earth, the sauvage, cassis and plum that exhibit interesting wisps of leather and smoke. There is outstanding concentration and muscle to the punchy medium weight plus flavors that conclude in a beautifully long and notably firm finish of focused power and seriously good depth. This balanced effort is built-to-age and will need it. Check it out." - 93pts/Outstanding, Burghound

2014  Bel Air

Bel Air -- "A cool, pure and restrained nose displays the attractively fresh essence of red pinot fruit, lavender and discreet earth nuances. There is equally good freshness and detail to the utterly delicious, complex and mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that display a taut muscularity as well as a sophisticated mouth feel thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the saline and impressively intense finish. This too is really quite good and worth checking out." - 92pts/Outstanding BH

2003  Bin Soiled Label

"Unquestionably the finest Echezeaux I have encountered from this famed estate, the 2003 explodes from the glass with candied raspberries, violet, and red cherries. Stunningly marrying elegance with richness and density, this medium to full-bodied wine is ample, pure, and velvety-textured. Loads of sweet red fruits are found in its persistent, sensual character." - 95pts WA

2017  

"This is the first wine in the range to display reductive notes and while I expect that they are largely due to the very recent bottling, I would suggest decanting this if you're going to crack a bottle in the next 12 months or so. Otherwise there is once again an attractive sleekness to the precise and vibrant medium weight flavors that brim with minerality that really comes to the fore on the impressively complex and persistent finish that is somewhat linear at present. I would expect this to flesh out with bottle age." - 92pts Burghound

2015  1er Cru Les Borniques

Certified organic, Borniques borders grand cru Musigny and sits east-facing above premier cru ‘Amoureuses’ with soils are nearly identical to grand cru Musigny, limestone and veins of white and yellow clay. Vine ages range from 40-60 years. Aged 43% in clay jars and 57% in older French oak barrels. Tasting Note: An appealingly fresh nose once again exhibits a subtle hint of menthol that combines with plum, black raspberry and subtle spice notes. There is excellent richness to the concentrated and unusually powerful broad-scaled flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that saturates the palate on the wonderfully intense and solidly firm finish. This is quite serious but even so it is more refined than the Charmes. - BH Pair with grilled red meat; aged, soft-rind French cheese or game meats.

2011  Grand Cru

" Initially this was also a bit grapey but after 30 minutes of air the nose becomes much spicier with better depth on the dark berry fruit aromas. There is good richness to the very round and supple medium-bodied flavors that possess equally good complexity on the delicious and relatively accessible finish that delivers fine if not truly exceptional length. While not a great Clos de Bèze this is certainly a classy drink with good material that should allow upwards of 10 years of development yet also be approachable young." 91pts BH
