Burgundy | 1 | 91+ (VN) | HK$6,125.00 | |||||
Vinous (91+)The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos St Marc 1er Cru is showing some reduction on the nose, like many of its NSG compadres. This seems to dissipate with aeration, although the nuance and detail of Gouges's Les Pruliers tasted alongside do not materialize. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, a little chewiness on the entry and good grip. There is a firmness here, a little obduracy that should be tamed with bottle age, so give it five years in the cellar, because there is potential. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Burghound (90-92)Moderate but not dominant wood is present on the violet, plum and dark cherry liqueur-like aromas that are trimmed in pretty spice and floral nuances. The lush, supple and lavishly rich flavors possess both good volume and a subtle minerality that continues onto the elegant, refined and persistent finale. This is quite good and worth considering. |

Vinous (92-94)(55% new oak; from Les Rouges du Bas and Les Quartiers de Nuits): Bright medium ruby. Very pure but subtle and shy on the nose, exuding scents of blackberry, dark cherry, violet and dark chocolate accented by orange zest. Offers an exhilarating balance of almost chocolatey sweetness and penetrating acidity. Finishes very long and primary, even a bit inky, with suave tannins and firm acidity. Marie-Christine Mugneret noted that new oak really marks the delicate Echézeaux character, but this wine has the stuffing to support its lumber. |

Burgundy | 1 | 98 (VN) | HK$26,715.00 | |||||
Vinous (98)Dark medium red. Ineffable nose combines tight, wild red berries, musky animal nuances and a hint of torrefaction, enlivened by hint notes of wild mint and white pepper. Densely packed and chewy; a distinctly masculine wine with outstanding intensity and underlying structure. And yet the texture is silky too. This utterly palate-saturating wine finishes with explosive rising notes of red berries, game, licorice, pepper, mint and saline minerality and great perfumed persistence. The crop level from these old vines and small berries was between 30 and 35 hectoliters per hectare, as Bernstein routinely does multiple green harvests here to ensure that the clusters finish at roughly the same level of potential alcohol. Incidentally, Bernstein attempted to ensure freshness in his 2015s by using 80% whole clusters to balance the ripeness of the fruit. |

Burgundy | 1 | 93-96 (VN) | HK$20,630.00 | |||||
Vinous (93-96)Bright, dark red. A sexy note of flinty reduction to the aromas of raspberry, mocha, brown spices, smoke and underbrush. Silky and fine-grained but with terrific energy and lift to its sappy flavors of raspberry, minerals and spices. This penetrating, vibrant wine finishes with a firm tannic spine and terrific palate-stimulating length and grip. |

Vinous (91-93)Bright, dark red. Red raspberry and exotic spice aromas are accented by a peppery stem element. Juicier and tighter than the Chambolle Les Lavrottes, showing a more restrained sweetness owing to its pungent spice and herb qualities. But this very long, vibrant wine finishes with a touch of underbrush and superb rising perfume. Incidentally, Bernstein owns these vines, as well as those from which he makes his Mazis-Chambertin. |

Vinous (89)The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Vergers 1er Cru has a rich, almost decadent bouquet of billowing clementine, mango and vanilla aromas that are attractive but missing some definition.

Burgundy | 1 | 92 (BH) | HK$1,720.00 | |||||
Burghound (92)A more elegant and slightly more complex broad-ranging nose reflects an assortment of green apple, white flower, pear, mineral reduction and a wisp of oak. The overtly rich, full-bodied and powerful flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the moderately firm acid spine shaping the stony and saline-inflected finale. This too will need at least a few years of patience. |

Burgundy | 1 | 89-92 (BH) | HK$9,130.00 | |||||
Burghound (89-92)There is just enough reduction present to blur the distinctions between the various fruit and floral elements. The seductive yet reasonably well-delineated medium-bodied flavors possess a really lovely mouth feel thanks primarily to the abundant level of dry extract that coats the palate on the lightly mineral and citrus-tinged finish. This is one of those wines that is so exuberantly delicious that it will be hard to resist young. |

We found the wines in 2015 very easy and forward to taste, with as much focus on freshness as concentration, so there wasn’t a complete break from the 2014s in that sense. The hope is that as the wines mature they will continue to show the balance and classicism they displayed from the barrel. Our expectation is that they will do so and the best wines will live for a very long time with a genuinely satisfying pattern of maturation throughout their life.
