At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines. The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Quite pale. Very rich and well contained. He is so lucky to get this much grand cru fruit! The merest hint of cocoa powder but basically this is a very attractive, if fairly lightweight, Chambertin. I suspect it is not good value. It’s not that long.Inc. GSTSG$429.35 -
(6x75cl) 2011Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (94-97)
Medium red, a bit less deep than the Clos de Beze. Medicinal raspberry, red cherry, flowers, crushed stone and a minty nuance on the nose; quite ethereal and perfumed, with little sign of the gamey, earthy side of this great grand cru. At once velvety and sharply etched, combining penetrating sweetness with terrific grip. Finishes with outstanding palate-staining perfume, a suggestion of menthol and noble tannins. Wonderfully delicate and light on its feet for all its power.Inc. GSTSG$2,334.21 -

Vinous (93-96)
Deep red-ruby. Captivating, high-pitched nose offers blackberry, rose petal, curry powder and white pepper, with sexy oak in the background. Silky on entry, then pungent and penetrating in the mid-palate, with superb intensity and clarity to the flavors of raspberry, minerals, rose petal, licorice and spices. This boasts marvelous inner-mouth floral perfume, with a saline, iodiney quality adding another element of complexity on the brisk, palate-staining. High class!Inc. GSTSG$469.69 -

Vinous (93-96)
Good bright, deep red. Aromas of black raspberry, rose petal and menthol show an almost liqueur-like ripeness. Then wonderfully sappy and vinous in the mouth, with a powerful crushed stone element giving punch to the creamy mid-palate. This is in the style of Potel's Lavaux Saint-Jaques, offering outstanding precision and class and a powerful impression of energy. Can't quite match the Chambertin for sheer grip but this wine is like a wake-up call to the taste buds. (The Griottes-Chambertin, which finished its malo later, was quite youthfully clenched and oaky, and impossible to assess with confidence.)Inc. GSTSG$1,840.42 -

Barrel sample. Mid cherry red. Sweet oak spice dominates the nose at first but with aeration the red fruit soars from the glass. Utterly seductive. Rich but dry on the palate, a lovely counterbalance between the fresh, vibrant fruit and the dry, tannic finesse. Scented on the palate, where the oak seems to disappear. Gorgeous.Inc.

Vinous (93)
(true Charmes): Deep, bright red. Dark berries, licorice and violet on the perfumed nose, with a hint of exotic oak. Sappy, chewy and concentrated, showing excellent energy and a weighless impression to the flavors of dark berries, flowers and saline minerality. Distinctly sweeter and more pliant than the Clos Vougeot from Maison Roche de Bellene but this tactile, extract-rich wine is built to age. Finishes with ripe but firm tannins and lingering sweetness. A lovely expression of Charmes terroir.Inc. GSTSG$3,120.63 -

Vinous (92-95)
Full red-ruby color. Captivating aromas of blueberry, dried flowers, brown spices, smoke and flint. Big, rich and deep, with serious volume as well as outstanding penetration and verve to its flavors of cassis, black cherry, smoke, minerals and wild herbs. An impressive spine of acids and tannins gives this grand cru a serious structure for extended bottle aging. 92-95.Inc. GSTSG$418.45 -
(1x75cl) 2010Vinous (92-95)
Bright deep red. Knockout perfume of sexy brown spices and rose petal. Sappy but youthfully imploded, with the powerful brown spice character carrying through on the palate. Boasts uncanny sweetness and purity, not to mention inner-mouth lift and saline complexity, but this wine will require several years of cellaring. Most impressive today on the building, palate-staining pepper-and-spice finish.Inc. GSTSG$423.90 -

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-95)
Deep red-ruby. Cherry liqueur, crushed rock, exotic spices and a lightly medicinal quality on the nose. Dense, velvety and sweet, with terrific vinosity and underlying spine intensifying the black cherry and dark berry flavors. Quite sweet on the back end, with the substantial tannins arriving late. This wine includes fruit from five different sources and very different sites, according to Potel. Splendid potential.Inc. GSTSG$2,868.79 -

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.Inc. GSTSG$608.12 -

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.Inc. GSTSG$184.10 -
