| "A background touch of wood highlights notably ripe and relatively airy red and blue pinot fruit nuanced by both earth and stone notes that can also be found on the detailed, fresh and rich flavors supported by unusually refined tannins for a wine at this level even though the overall effect here is one of mild rusticity."

| "This is very Chambolle in character with its airy red berry fruit nose nuanced with hints of earth, anise, underbrush and stone, all of which are picked up on the rich, full and round flavors that possess good volume and punch for this level. This is relatively forward and should be enjoyable young." Allen Meadows, Burghound |

| "Again, there is a very different aromatic expression as here the nose features pungently earthy red and dark pinot fruit and underbrush notes that can also be found on the textured, supple and dusty flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in a finish that is less refined but really coats the mouth with sap. This will not win any prizes for elegance but it's definitely Nuits in character." Allen Meadows, Burghound |

| "This is quite ripe without being surmature with spicy earthy red and black fruit aromas trimmed in a bit of wood that are in keeping with the big, rich and sleekly muscled flavors that possess a lovely natural sweetness on the powerful and driving finish. This isn't as elegant as the Vosne 1er trio but there's plenty here to admire plus it should reward up to a decade of cellar slumber." Allen Meadows, Burghound |

| "This is a clear step up in overall depth with its earthy red berry fruit aromas leading to fresh middle weight flavors that carry a bit more volume on the textured round and more serious finish that offers good balance. Interestingly, even though this definitely has more flavor interest, it's not necessarily any finer." Allen Meadows, Burghound |

Lovely balance and punch here on the dusty and linear finish." Allen Meadows, Burghound |

| "I find this to be a curious if very attractive wine in that even though this is also very ripe, the much more animale and more deeply pitched aromas are actually more elegant than those of the normally more refined Champeaux. The body however is as one would expect with its significantly bigger and richer flavors that trade power and muscle for elegance and finesse on the punchy, velvety and slightly warm finish. This is a big wine by the Leclerc standards but one that is balanced and delicious." Allen Meadows, Burghound |

| "An intense and densely fruited nose of red berry aromas, especially cherry and raspberry, leads to rich and slightly austere medium full-bodied flavors that culminate in a slightly edgy finish that is probably due to the recent bottling. A classic young Rugiens as it's brooding and somber. Patience required." Allen Meadows |

| "An even riper but not surmature nose that is less elegant and aromatically complex, at least at present, features brooding aromas of black and blue berry plus black cherry and violets nuanced by hints of spice and warm earth merge into big, powerful and well-muscled flavors underpinned by impressive mid-palate concentration and dense but fine tannins, all wrapped in a dazzling long finish that is perfectly balanced. This will clearly require time to unfold but the raw material is indisputably here and like the Musigny, this is built for the very long haul." Allen Meadows, Burghound |

| "As one would expect, this is distinctly more elegant and refined with an airy, pure and intensely spicy black fruit nose that carries the same lovely floral note while merging seamlessly into the layered, textured and beautifully detailed flavors that possess a velvety character on the focused, mineral infused and powerful finish that is stunningly long. This saturates the palate with extract of black raspberry, which again completely buffers the sense of underlying structure though this is clearly built to age. Sheer class."

| "Almost liqueur-like red and black pinot fruit aromas with an interesting menthol note introduce sweet, balanced and pure mouth coating flavors that are not especially extracted given that this is a young Corton yet there is a very firm tannic spine lurking beneath all of the baby fat. On the opulent finish the tannins spread out over the palate but are completely buffered by the sap. This is an atypical wine but delicious, impressive and one that should age well for at least a decade but last for 30 years." Allen Meadows, Burghound |

| "Strongly reduced but as would be expected, the flavors are bigger, richer and a good deal more powerful with a muscular, taut, extremely intense profile that culminates in a ripe, plumy and long finish. This is not particularly elegant, indeed somewhat awkward today but it's very promising and given the almost always "can't miss" quality of this wine, I suspect there is upside potential relative to my score."

| "Remarkably elegant and pure pinot fruit notes introduce full, rich, intense, moderately structured flavors that offer good weight, balance and adequate length if not much complexity at this point. My rating my prove to be conservative is this can add more depth with additional bottle age. I would give this 5 more years of cellar time and drink over the next 5." Allen Meadows, Burghound |
