At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines.

Vinous (92-94)Good deep red-ruby. Mocha, spices and earth on the nose, with suggestions of very ripe fruit; lower-toned than the Clos Saint-Denis. Round, layered and broad in the mouth, showing impressive volume leavened by a strong cardamom spiciness. Can't match the Clos Saint-Denis today for lift but this sexy wine is still a baby. Tannins are thoroughly buffered by mid-palate stuffing. |

Vinous (89-92)Healthy dark red. Very ripe, soil-inflected aromas of raspberry, smoked meat, underbrush and spicy oak. In a distinctly savory style, showing good energy and peppery lift to its raspberry, redcurrant and earth flavors. Not particularly sweet but nicely delineated and alive. The wine's appeal, however, was slightly reduced by a strong oak element and some dusty wood tannins on the back end. |

Jancis Robinson (17.5)Barrel sample. Mid cherry red. Intense aroma of perfectly ripe and generous cherry and damson fruit. Smells of luxury. Tastes luxurious, too. Fills the mouth with perfectly ripe dark fruit, lightly peppery, a hint of chocolate from the oak. Deep, smooth, the epitome of luxury and still keeping its shape and freshness. |

Vinous (92-95)Good bright, deep red. Red berries and licorice on the nose, lifted by pungent minerality. Sharply delineated and brisk in the mouth; tighter than the other Gevrey premier crus here but with terrific dimension and inner-mouth tension. Most impressive today on the rising, perfumed back end, which leaves the taste buds quivering. This beauty is downright 2010-like in its detail and perfume. |

Jancis Robinson (18)Barrel sample. Greyish deep crimson. Like the Échezeaux, this smells of luxury but here it is darker and a little more oaky on the nose, very dark fruit profile. On the palate, dark, dense and savoury, a little charry, peppery, spiced, but the tannins are unexpectedly fine and supple even if the oak has thickened them slightly. Long, savoury aftertaste. Needs a lot of time. |

Jancis Robinson (18)Cask sample. Intense, classy nose with real voluptuousness. Polished tannins are there in abundance with really bright fruit in great balance. This should beguile right through its (presumably long) life. Glossy fruit and fine, very ripe tannins. Good freshness and length. |
