Red Burgundy

"The nose evidences a slight floral quality, and a fascinating mix of earth, leather, tea and spice notes plus an interesting green bark component. The slightly austere, tannic, wonderfully rich flavors are dense, in fact extremely dense with excellent depth and terrific complexity and a finish that seems to go on forever. Though there are now hints of secondary aromas, this remains very young, structured and remarkably intense. When you get the right bottle, the '93 can be a real stunner. Note: the inconsistency of this wine continues unabated as a bottle opened at the Domaine recently was almost aggressively vegetal and awkward. In short, when it's good it's very good but I've now had too many disappointing bottles not to be wary." Burghound

"A gorgeous, spicy and expressive nose of mostly black fruit aromas combines with rich, sweet and still tight medium full and quite firmly structured flavors that possess a long though slightly edgy and austere finish. Note that this bottle showed better than the one reviewed in the big Richebourg retrospective held in October, 2001. I would not touch another bottle for at least 5 years and this easily has 20 year+ potential as it will require a long time to completely unwind. Tasted on multiple occasions with consistent notes."

'This conveys a completely different character and mouth feel than the Chaumes with rough though not hard flavors and rustic finishing tannins yet a curiously elegant back end. Exuberant and sappy, this comes across as rough but delicious and I suspect that once this rounds out it will make a fine, if not exactly refined, wine.' - Burghound

'This too is reference standard RSV with its wonderfully seductive panoply of spice and fresh crushed herb notes that seamlessly merge with rich, powerful yet refined flavors that pack plenty of punch and length. The length here is simply phenomenal and this is without question the finest wine in the line-up. In short, this is a compelling wine that is endowed with the potential to become a genuinely great wine.' - Burghound

'This too is quite earthy but definitely more elegant with frank, structured and punchy medium full flavors plus good if not special length. This is very Nuits in basic character.' - Burghound

This too is very aromatically reserved with only glimpses of spicy and exotic perfume that speak of very ripe and tiny crushed berries because even though the nose is reticent, the intensity of the fruit is magnificent. The flavors are opulent and sumptuously proportioned with massive amounts of sap and dry extract that completely stains and coats the palate before exploding on the hugely long finish. Yes, this is a big, indeed enormous wine but one that never loses its sense of balance and the velvety backend largely buffers the very firm tannins. A great Richebourg of colossal quality that may indeed rival the awesome '62. Allen Meadows

'A more elegant and finer nose of earth, red pinot fruit, crushed herb and a lovely spice note combines with supple, round and more concentrated flavors that culminate in a spicy yet distinctly animale finish that delivers solid persistence. Good if not excellent stuff here.' - Burghound

This is in the same stylistic camp as the Grands Echézeaux as it is surprisingly understated and subtle with an intensely floral nose of red and black fruit aromas that are nuanced and beautifully elegant, merging seamlessly into linear, reserved, indeed almost brooding flavors that are as once supple yet precise and detailed, all wrapped in a powerful and muscular finish that delivers striking length. This is a really interesting wine because it's a wine of contrasts yet it works because there is a gorgeous combination of finesse and power and again, I really like the sense of drive and energy here as well as the first rate balance. A terrific '04. Allen Meadows

'An exceptionally floral yet restrained nose with aromas of both rose and violets that combine with a panoply of spice notes yet the overall impression is classic young RC as the nose is both cool and reserved yet aristocratic. The sweet, intense, focused, detailed and vibrant flavors offer superb drive and punch though there is not the sheer scale of the LT yet they're finer and somehow even purer, indeed absolutely crystalline though I kept asking myself how this was possible as the purity of the La Tâche is itself mind blowing. The descriptor of 'power without weight' came to mind again and again as the flavors slide down the throat with no sense of heaviness yet the impact and precision of the presently somewhat austere finish is quite simply hard to believe. In a word, this is mind bending and in a visceral sense, this is a monumental wine that of real emotional impact. Genius in a glass.' Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

Strong reduction renders the nose impossible to reasonably assess but the sweet, robust and serious medium full-bodied flavors are blessed with plenty of dry extract that buffers the firm tannins on the pure, sweet and intense finish that displays real linearity and vibrancy. Lovely. Allen Meadows, Burghound

"As one would reasonably expect here the nose is both more elegant and finer with red pinot fruit aromas nuanced by earth and underbrush that are also picked up by the rich, full and sweet flavors that possess lovely depth and while the tannins are not as sophisticated as the following 1ers, this too is really quite fine for its level." - Burghound

"Here the nose is much more reserved and discreet with shy but very pure and airy red pinot fruit aromas that complement perfectly the precise, detailed and sappy lilting flavors that possess dusty tannins and excellent depth on the linear and mouth coating finish that also displays a subtle core of minerality. An understated and impressively pure offering." - Burghound

"The aromatic profile is a small step up in elegance and refinement though here too the nose is discreet and reserved with simply gorgeous layered and equally airy red pinot fruit aromas that introduce with flair the intensely mineral-driven and beautifully textured flavors that possess striking precise and finishing cut. I really like the sophisticated quality of the tannins and this should be really lovely in time. In sum, classic Frémiets." - Burghound

A background touch of wood frames an earthy and notably complex, layered and densely fruited nose that merges into rich, full, sweet and mouth coating flavors that are exceptionally fresh and intense on the beautifully long finish. This has already eaten most of its wood and I like this for its completeness. Aleen Meadows, Burghound.com

Like virtually all of Ponsot's '06s, this is wonderfully pure with a similarly reticent nose of dark berry fruit and intense earth and underbrush aromas that precede powerful, punchy and very serious flavors that possess ample amounts of the typical youthful austerity of a classically styled Clos de Vougeot underpinned by very firm tannins. This is an old school burg that is built to age. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com
