(1x75cl) 2006Vinous (93)
(from a blend of 60% white and 40% red soil, says Mugnier) Bright, medium red. Perfumed nose of blueberry, mocha and crushed stone. Plush on entry, then wonderfully fresh in the middle and less plump than the Fuees, with terrific stony verve and mineral intensity to the crushed black fruit flavors. Very broad on the back end. This will rely more on its serious tannins than on its acids for longevity-and it will require at least 10 to 12 years of cellaring.HK$9,665.00 -

Bright, dark red. Pure but subdued aromas of raspberry, minerals, rose petal and flinty stone. Wonderfully suave on entry, then vibrant and sappy in the middle, with pungent raspberry and crushed stone flavors boasting outstanding density and freshness. Mounts impressively on the back half, finishing with outstanding lift and perfume and broad, fine-grained tannins that reach the front teeth. Exciting wine.HK$121,340.00 -

Good dark red. Compellingly vibrant aromas of raspberry, strawberry and blood orange lifted by spices and crushed stone. Intense and alive on the palate, boasting terrific density for village wine. The long, sweet, palate-staining finish features dusty tannins and impressive energy. A big success.HK$4,535.00 -
(1x75cl) 2006Vinous (96+)
Deep red with ruby tones. Flamboyantly ripe aromas of black fruits, blood orange, peony and espresso. Huge yet weightless, saturating every square millimeter of the mouth with very ripe dark fruits, minerals and spices. This plush, sweet, extremely unevolved wine is almost monolithic today but the explosive, palate-staining finish suggests that it has a slow and glorious evolution ahead of it. The fruit here was picked with potential alcohol of 13.7%, the same as in 2005.HK$17,245.00 -

Jancis Robinson (16.5+)
Lifted, strong red cherry unformed aromas. Bright bitter cherry aromas. Frivolous and with a very dry spine – slightly reminiscent of 2006 in Mornington Peninsula! Vibrant fruit with dry tannins on the finish.HK$3,910.00 -

Palish medium red. Good lift to the aromas of red fruits, smoke, cinnamon and fresh herbs. A medium-bodied wine with good smoky intensity to its flavors of redcurrant, iron and spices. There's a coolness to this wine but also an enticing lingering perfume, and the tannins are fine-grained.HK$58,770.00 -

Vinous (89-92)
Moderately saturated medium red. Medicinal aromas of red cherry, fresh herbs, licorice and exotic spices. Offers lovely sweetness and intensity of flavor, with a firm tannic spine giving it structure and grip. This boasts good breadth but shows some slightly bitter medicinal austerity and is evolving very slowly. Marie-Blanche says the family owns parcels at the top, middle and bottom of this huge grand cru vineyard.HK$15,500.00 -

(1x75cl) 2006Vinous (93+)
(bottled one month ago) Subtly complex nose combines peach, apple, pear, minerals, hazelnut and smoke. Explosively fruity in the mouth, with firm acidity and brisk citrus flavors giving the mid-palate terrific focus and lift. As rich as this is, it conveys a lovely light touch. Finishes firmly structured, vibrant and very long. A very good year for this style.HK$7,580.00 -

The 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Folatières from Leflaive was layered, rich and weighty, with tons of character, while Sauzet’s 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Referts showed more of a flinty, mineral-driven personality. Both were beautiful.HK$26,770.00 -
(1x75cl) 2006Vinous (96+)
Good medium red. Highly nuanced, soil-driven aromas of strawberry, flinty minerality, roasted herbs and crushed rocks. Powerful and stunningly pure, with explosive fruit framed and complicated by pungent minerality and high notes of pepper and spice. This extremely primary wine boasts outstanding precision but is almost brutal today. The tannins reach the incisors on the extremely long and tactile finish.HK$67,390.00 -
(3x75cl) 2006Burghound (95)
This is quite ripe though not surmature, featuring a fresh array of distinctly earthy and ever so slightly rustic red and blue fruit aromas that are in perfect keeping with the robust, muscled and powerful full-bodied flavors underpinned by mouth coating tannins and superb concentration on the strikingly long finish. As impressive as this is, and it's very impressive, after the fireworks provided by the RSV and the Riche, it doesn't quite have the game to fully match up. Still, I hope to have the pleasure of trying a glass or two when it finally reaches full maturity.HK$155,745.00 -
(1x75cl) 2006Vinous (92)
Medium red. Deeply pitched aromas of black cherry, mocha, smoke and earth. Fat on entry, then very ripe, concentrated and full, but with harmonious acidity giving lift to the saline, earth and mineral flavors. The substantial dusty tannins arrive late, but this very young wine is still hiding more than it's showing.HK$113,725.00 -
(3x75cl) 2006Vinous (96)
Good bright, deep red with ruby highlights. Knockout nose combines cassis, violet, minerals and menthol; this smells important! Sweet and lush in the mouth, conveying a sense of power and force without any rough edges; in fact this is downright spherical. The wine's insidious mineral concentration and rose petal lift give it great elegance in spite of its sheer size. Wonderfully long and sweet on the back end, finishing with explosive flavors of red fruits, flowers and minerals. Wow!HK$1,042,745.00 -
(1x75cl) 2006Vinous (92+)
Bright red. Aromas of red berries, violet, smoke, truffle and earth. Sweet and lush in the mouth; very rich but less expressive today than on the nose. This will age more on its strong but even tannins than on its acids. Doesn't offer quite the snap of the Beaux-Monts though.HK$57,775.00 -
(6x75cl) 2006Wine Spectator (93)
Dark and lush, revealing black cherry, blackberry and chocolate, but also mineral flavors. Ripe and fresh, this is underscored by fine-grained tannins. The finish echoes black currant and spice notes. Very supple. Best from 2011 through 2023. -BSHK$9,665.00 -
(2x75cl) 2006Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-92)
Good deep red. Subdued nose hints at musky minerality and exotic herbs. The stone, spice and herbal flavors show terrific lift from calcaire; this is rather like sucking on rocks today. A very stony expression of Chambolle that displays excellent energy without any impression of weight. Purist's wine.HK$1,650.00 -
(6x75cl) 2006Wine Spectator (92)
Still reserved, showing cherry, wild strawberry, mineral and spice aromas and flavors that gain steam on the palate as this builds to a long finish. The tannins still have a firm grip, so be patient. Best from 2012 through 2025. -BSHK$6,495.00 -
Vinous (91-95)
Good deep red. Pungent aromas of blueberry, smoke, minerals and game. Lush, sexy and deep, with powerful extract and sappiness to its deep core of fruit. A metallic, iodiney quality and a saline element communicate a strong impression of the soil. This firmly structured wine coats the entire palate on the aftertaste, finishing with serious tannins and a note of coffee. Saouma noted that this grand cru was vinified with about one-third of its stems and underwent a long maceration; he planned to bottle most of it in magnums.HK$16,135.00 -
(12x75cl) 2006Vinous (95)
Harvested 17th-21st September. The nose is very expressive, with plenty of primary fruit along with notes of cinnamon and clove. As expected, this is extremely tannic and tight, with great weight and density. Huge concentration of fruit, along with an underlying mineral note. Very complete and pure, but I wouldn’t touch this for another eight or ten years. Guillaume d’Angerville, however thinks it might be starting to open.HK$16,090.00 -
(6x75cl) 2006Vinous (92+)
Deep, dark red. Reserved nose offers medicinal black cherry and minerals. Powerful, tactile and penetrating, with sappy black cherry, menthol and mineral flavors that really saturate the palate. Finishes long and gripping, with building ripe tannins. Strong and serious wine. These top 2006s call for seven or eight years of patience.HK$22,810.00 -
(6x75cl) 2006Wine Advocate (93)
At age 11, the 2006 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux is beginning to show some evolution, offering up a complex and quite ripe nose of sweet red plum, grilled squab, candied peel and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and concentrated, structured around a bright vertical line of acidity that lends superb energy and definition.HK$256,250.00 -
Vinous (94)
Very good deep red. Black fruits, licorice, dark chocolate and sweet oak on the very ripe nose. Large-scaled and compellingly sweet, with wonderfully ripe, sappy dark berry flavors conveying a chewy impression of solidity. A very ripe 2006 whose solid tannic backbone and excellent persistence suggest that it will evolve slowly. If you can't wait to taste this, give it time in a decanter first.HK$9,665.00 -

A graphite accent introduces this pure cherry- and rose-flavored red. There's some serious yet ripe tannins underneath, and despite its balance, this needs time to come together. Best from 2011 through 2020. 320 cases made. -BSHK$14,020.00 -
