"Reduction presently flattens the underlying fruit. Otherwise there is a really lovely texture to the medium weight plus flavors thanks to the abundance of mid-palate sap that coats the mouth and buffers the moderately firm, complex and lingering finish where a touch of wood emerges. This is very Charmes in style and like the Echézeaux, it should be approachable after 6 to 8 years if desired." - 91-94pts Burghound

2015  Gevrey-Chambertin

"Initially there was some reduction in evidence though aggressive swirling eventually reveals liqueur-like aromas of dark currant, earthy, violet and soft spice nuances. The notably rich yet delineated medium weight flavors also possess a refined mouthfeel while delivering fine length on the mineral-inflected finale. Lovely stuff and this is a wine of power and refinement." - 92pts/Outstanding, Burghound

2014  

Deep, almost-inky garnet core, with purple reflections at the rim. The aromatics, too, reflect a riper vintage, with notes of black cherry, black plum, wet violets, a hint of licorice, black pepper, and forest floor. Nearly full-bodied and quite seductive to sip now, it remains well-framed by a smoky, stony mineral quality and balancing acidity.

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

"Notably ripe but brooding and somber aromas of spice, raspberry liqueur, warm earth and violet struggle somewhat against the generous oak treatment. Otherwise there is excellent volume and power to the big-bodied and muscular flavors that display solid detail before terminating in an extremely firm, vibrant and quite serious finish that possesses simply stunning depth and persistence. As the description suggests this is not entirely harmonious at present but the underlying material is so good that this explosive effort should eventually be nothing short of remarkable." - 95pts Burghound

"Once again while the oak is more moderately applied subtle is not the word that I would use to describe its presence at present on the much more sauvage-inflected aromas of freshly turned earth, forest floor and various dark berry fruit scents. There is a highly seductive mouth feel to the equally big-bodied flavors thanks to the sappy dry extract that both coats the palate and buffers the marked firm tannic spine on the dusty, serious and gorgeously long finish. This ever-so-mildly rustic effort may one day catch its Bonnes Mares stable mate but at this early stage it appears that the Bonnes Mares enjoys the slightest of edges. Either way, 15 years from now it will be fascinating to compare these two beauties!" - 94pts Burghound
