  • Jacques Prieur Chambertin Grand Cru 2009

    請來電詢價

    Complex, soil-inflected aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, mocha, smoke, dried rose, licorice and menthol. Silky and rather delicate for Chambertin, with exotic cherry liqueur and raspberry flavors lifted by spices and complicated by a saline element. The very long finish features suave tannins and strong stony minerality. Lovely understated Chambertin with the balance to age well.

    Burghound : 90 – 93  points

    (90-93 points) A slightly riper nose is not quite as elegant but it’s even more complex and much more floral with its mix of pear, apple, passion fruit and spicy white peach. There is better mid-palate volume though not the same minerality suffusing the medium-bodied flavors that possess a highly refined texture, all wrapped in a beautifully long finale. This will also need time in bottle to develop better depth, but the potential appears to be present.
  • Jacques Prieur Corton Charlemagne 2016/2018

    Burghound : 92-94 points

    A commendably subtle application of wood easily allows the super-fresh aromas of Granny Smith apples, lemongrass and white floral scents to be appreciated. There is arguably even better richness to the almost painfully intense and vibrant big-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the overtly stony, muscular, chiseled and linear finish. This excellent effort is presently very compact and is going to require at least 5-ish years to flesh out and unwind but it should be well-worth the wait.

    This too is agreeably fresh with its nose of red berry fruit liqueur tinged with discreet spice wisps. The lilting and nicely tension-filled flavors possess good mid-palate density along with better detail on the lightly mineral-inflected, raspy and rustic finish that also reflects a touch of bitter pit fruit character.

  • Domaine des Lambrays , Clos des Lambrays 2000

    Clos des Lambrays is one of the five Grand Crus of the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis, and produces wines that are probably the most typical. Domaine des Lambrays owns almost all of Clos des Lambrays, only a very small part belongs to Domaine Taupenot-Merme. Full-bodied, concentrated and remarkably elegant, the Clos des Lambrays has a rare and complex aroma: notes of blackberry, blueberry and raspberry, and as it ages, undertones of truffle, spices, liquorice, violet and undergrowth. Its ageing potential is generally above 20 years.

  • Emmanuel Rouget Echezeaux 1994

    95 – points Wine Advocate

    The 2014 Echézeaux Grand Cru, matured entirely in new oak, has a gorgeous black cherry, raspberry coulis and mineral-infused bouquet, coiled tightly at first but unfurling with each swirl of the glass. The palate is well structured, a Grand Cru with admirable backbone. There is patently impressive depth with multi-layered red and black fruit, edging towards something more rich and dense towards the persistent finish. Emmanuel Rouget was surprised when I opined a preference for his Cros Parantoux this year, so obviously he is a big fan. And yes, this is an excellent grand cru, yet it does not possess quite the same nervosité as the Parantoux.

  • Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche 2014

    96-98 points Wine Advocate

    Outer quote mark The 2012 Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru is being matured entirely in new wood as usual. That comes through strongly on the nose but there is sufficient fruit to absorb that after one more winter in barrel. The palate is extremely well balanced with that hint of licorice present right from the entry. The acidity is superbly pitched and it effortlessly glides to a long, lightly spiced, candied finish that Frederic himself commented reminded him of “Zan” (a French confectionary). This is a cerebral Clos de Beze that will deserve a decade in the cellar. (NM) Inner quote mark (12/2013)

    Outer quote mark This is also ultra-pure and densely fruited with notes of anise, mint, wet stone and a sauvage hint that introduces intensely earthy and mineral-driven big-bodied flavors that are rich, powerful, serious and densely concentrated, all wrapped in a silky, palate staining, explosive and colossally persistent finish. This is actually relatively expressive and approachable for a young Cham yet the balance and harmony is present for this to age for decades. A brilliant effort and one of the best vintages ever for this justifiably revered wine. (AM) Inner quote mark (1/2012)
