Burghound (89)(from Prémeaux fruit in Les Topons, Plantes au Baron and Les Charbonnières). A more floralsuffused nose speaks mostly of a spicy blend of red and dark cherry along with a whiff of the sauvage. There is a bit more size, weight and power to the medium-bodied flavors that possess a lovely texture that isn’t necessarily especially refined though neither is it overtly rustic on the lingering and more structured finale. One to consider. |

Vinous (91-94)(13.3 alcohol; 40% vendange entier; 80% new oak; no frost): Good dark red. A bit redder and more showy in its fruit character and less medicinal on the nose than the Petits Monts. Rounder and sweeter in the mouth, with a palate-saturating flavor of dark cherry confiture. Builds impressively on the ripely tannic back end, with a strong violet note emerging. Very different from the Petits Monts in shape and style: this is rounder while the Petits Monts is more minerally and upright. |

Burghound (89)(from 10 separate parcels of vines, most of which are located in the lower section of Flagey). Here the expressive and slightly riper nose is spicier still with its markedly floral nose that reflects notes of violet, lavender and rose petal on the black cherry and kirsch nuances. The suave, concentrated and seductively textured middleweight flavors where the velvety mouthfeel contrasts somewhat with the firm, serious and robust finale that exhibits excellent length. This will definitely need time but the quality is impressive for a villages-level wine. |
