Vinous (94)The 1990 Barbareso Gallina is simply awesome. The wine boasts a seamless core of rich red fruits in a soft, generous style. This opulent Barbaresco possesses impeccable balance and tons of class. Floral notes intermingled with bright red fruits provide lift on the finish, adding lovely balance to the dense fruit.

Whole clusters, always 100%, are remarkably integrated. Rose petal, lavender, mint, crushed flowers, wild red berries, blueberry, blood orange and mint are some of the many notes that grace this exceptional, silky Barolo. The 2016 was fermented with low temperatures and spent two months on the skins.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-94)Slightly more saturated color. Finer, more complex nose combines black cherry, minerals, licorice, iron, game, tobacco and coconut. More tightly wound than the Charmes, with terrific intensity, higher acidity, and crystal-clear flavors. Really juicy at the core. Very long and fine on the aftertaste. The kind of Burgundy that will gain in flesh as it develops in bottle. |

Vinous (91)Medium red. Reticent but complex nose suggests small wild red berries and coffee; cooler than the Charmes. Dense and firm, with very good stuffing and considerable nuance. Less open than the Charmes but already quite aromatic in the mouth. A classy, very persistent grand cru that needs at least two or three years of further cellaring. |

Vinous (92)Good saturated deep red. Dark berries, coffee and smoked meat on the nose. Dense, rich and deep, with lovely verve. Dark fruit and licorice flavors are rather shy today. But this has a deep core of material, and finishes with tannins that are broad and ripe for the year. |

Vinous (90-92)Good red-ruby color. Black fruits, leather, violet and spicy oak on the rather subtle but wild nose. Juicy, rich and densely packed; a step up over the preceding wines in power and definition. But this is distinctly backward for 2003 and in need of at least five or six years of cellaring. Finishes impressively broad, with a light dusting of tannins. |

Vinous (94+)Good deep, bright red. Urgent aromas of crushed dark fruits and white pepper; brilliantly delineated but extremely unevolved. Then wonderfully juicy and bright in the mouth, with complex mocha and game hints adding interest to the concentrated, sappy berry flavors. Dense, classically dry and thoroughly ripe grand cru that's still a bit closed in on itself. The very long, slow-mounting finish features substantial suave tannins and terrific underlying structure. This should evolve in bottle for at least a couple of decades. |

Wine Advocate (94+)Another resounding success for the vintage, the opaque purple-colored 2008 Clinet (14.4% alcohol) is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields of 38 hectoliters per hectare, while higher than in 2010, were still modest. Another powerful, big, large-scaled effort, the 2008 exhibits an inky/purple color as well as sweet creme de cassis, blackberry, plum, Asian spice, licorice and incense notes. Layered and full-bodied with stunning purity and a 40+ second finish, this beauty needs 3-5 years of bottle age and should keep for 25-30 years. |

Wine Advocate (97)The 2019 Clos de Tart Grand Cru has turned out brilliantly. Mingling notes of wild berries and cherries with hints of peonies, rose petal, orange rind, exotic spices and musk, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with a velvety attack that segues into a fleshy, textural mid-palate defined by depth and purity of fruit, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. |

Wine Advocate (89)On one of the three occasions I tasted the 1996 Clos Fourtet from bottle I rated it outstanding (90 points). The color is a saturated dark ruby. The nose offers up sweet black raspberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with toasty oak and floral scents. It is fleshy, surprisingly expansive and forward for a 1996, with low acidity, and a long, multilayered, fruit-driven finish. The tannin is ripe, and thus the fruit comes forward and the wine is seductive and charming. This wine possesses the weight, richness, and extract to last for 15-20 years, but it should be drinkable early. I would not be surprised for readers to feel my score is too conservative based on how well this wine is showing. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2018. |

Vinous (92+)Light yellow. Subtle aromas of fresh yellow apple and pineapple are laced with wild herbs. Juicy and fine-grained, with piquant acidity framing the lemon and mineral flavors. In spite of its enormous depth, this chenin blanc literally dances across the palate. Pure, crisp and very long on the finish, I prefer this to the richer 2011. Only bottled earlier this year, this Saumur will be released sometime in late 2015. If it develops like the 2010, it has the potential to be one of the great white wines of the vintage. |

Enjoy a bottle of the esteemed Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny 2012, the apotheosis of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, masterfully crafted by the unparalleled Foucault brothers. Sheltered in Saumur-Champigny's tuffeau chalk caves, Clos Rougeard's vintages are made with respectful, meticulous standards, aged predominantly in new oak and bottled unfiltered. The brothers, renowned guardians of biodynamic principles, resist any chemical intervention, creating an exemplary, natural wine that is as sublime as it's sustainable. The Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny 2012 exudes an expressive nose imbued with dense fruit and intertwined with a minerally sous-bois character. Its opulent palate is harmoniously balanced with firm tannins and a remarkable, persistent finish. As a wine of great ageing potential yet immediate charm, it substantiates Clos Rougeard's eminent position amongst world-class wine producers. This is a remarkable embodiment of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, an unequivocal standard-bearer in its category. |

Wine Advocate (97+)Raphel Coche told me that the 2012 Corton Charlemagne was the only vineyard that escaped hail damage this year. It has a very succinct nose, not predisposed to go out and grab you by the lapels. The aromatics unfurl with a sense of ease prioritizing finesse over power: beeswax, linden, lemon thyme and fresh pear. The palate is exquisitely balanced with fleeting glimpses of Seville orange and apricot. But there is more about the tension, the effortlessness and that it just rolls out across the finish like a huge Turkish rug. This is the kind of wine that exhausts superlatives. |

When I was served this wine blind a month after tasting it at the domaine, I mistook it for its 2017 counterpart, which should give some indication of the pitch-perfect balance Raphaël Coche succeeded in attaining in the more extreme 2019 vintage. |

Deep, powerful, graceful, concentrated, and sensually textured, it slathers the mouth with plums, blueberries, and cherries. Notes of mocha are intermingled with licorice in its exquisitely long finish. This noble wine is crammed with tannin, yet it is sweet and ripe. Projected maturity: 2010-2025+. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-94)Slightly more saturated color. Finer, more complex nose combines black cherry, minerals, licorice, iron, game, tobacco and coconut. More tightly wound than the Charmes, with terrific intensity, higher acidity, and crystal-clear flavors. Really juicy at the core. Very long and fine on the aftertaste. The kind of Burgundy that will gain in flesh as it develops in bottle. |

Vinous (91)Medium red. Reticent but complex nose suggests small wild red berries and coffee; cooler than the Charmes. Dense and firm, with very good stuffing and considerable nuance. Less open than the Charmes but already quite aromatic in the mouth. A classy, very persistent grand cru that needs at least two or three years of further cellaring. |

Vinous (92)Good saturated deep red. Dark berries, coffee and smoked meat on the nose. Dense, rich and deep, with lovely verve. Dark fruit and licorice flavors are rather shy today. But this has a deep core of material, and finishes with tannins that are broad and ripe for the year. |

Vinous (90-92)Good red-ruby color. Black fruits, leather, violet and spicy oak on the rather subtle but wild nose. Juicy, rich and densely packed; a step up over the preceding wines in power and definition. But this is distinctly backward for 2003 and in need of at least five or six years of cellaring. Finishes impressively broad, with a light dusting of tannins. |

Vinous (94+)Good deep, bright red. Urgent aromas of crushed dark fruits and white pepper; brilliantly delineated but extremely unevolved. Then wonderfully juicy and bright in the mouth, with complex mocha and game hints adding interest to the concentrated, sappy berry flavors. Dense, classically dry and thoroughly ripe grand cru that's still a bit closed in on itself. The very long, slow-mounting finish features substantial suave tannins and terrific underlying structure. This should evolve in bottle for at least a couple of decades. |

Wine Advocate (94+)Another resounding success for the vintage, the opaque purple-colored 2008 Clinet (14.4% alcohol) is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields of 38 hectoliters per hectare, while higher than in 2010, were still modest. Another powerful, big, large-scaled effort, the 2008 exhibits an inky/purple color as well as sweet creme de cassis, blackberry, plum, Asian spice, licorice and incense notes. Layered and full-bodied with stunning purity and a 40+ second finish, this beauty needs 3-5 years of bottle age and should keep for 25-30 years. |

Wine Advocate (97)The 2019 Clos de Tart Grand Cru has turned out brilliantly. Mingling notes of wild berries and cherries with hints of peonies, rose petal, orange rind, exotic spices and musk, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with a velvety attack that segues into a fleshy, textural mid-palate defined by depth and purity of fruit, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. |

Wine Advocate (89)On one of the three occasions I tasted the 1996 Clos Fourtet from bottle I rated it outstanding (90 points). The color is a saturated dark ruby. The nose offers up sweet black raspberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with toasty oak and floral scents. It is fleshy, surprisingly expansive and forward for a 1996, with low acidity, and a long, multilayered, fruit-driven finish. The tannin is ripe, and thus the fruit comes forward and the wine is seductive and charming. This wine possesses the weight, richness, and extract to last for 15-20 years, but it should be drinkable early. I would not be surprised for readers to feel my score is too conservative based on how well this wine is showing. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2018. |

Vinous (92+)Light yellow. Subtle aromas of fresh yellow apple and pineapple are laced with wild herbs. Juicy and fine-grained, with piquant acidity framing the lemon and mineral flavors. In spite of its enormous depth, this chenin blanc literally dances across the palate. Pure, crisp and very long on the finish, I prefer this to the richer 2011. Only bottled earlier this year, this Saumur will be released sometime in late 2015. If it develops like the 2010, it has the potential to be one of the great white wines of the vintage. |

Enjoy a bottle of the esteemed Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny 2012, the apotheosis of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, masterfully crafted by the unparalleled Foucault brothers.

The brothers, renowned guardians of biodynamic principles, resist any chemical intervention, creating an exemplary, natural wine that is as sublime as it's sustainable. The Clos Rougeard Saumur-Champigny 2012 exudes an expressive nose imbued with dense fruit and intertwined with a minerally sous-bois character. Its opulent palate is harmoniously balanced with firm tannins and a remarkable, persistent finish. As a wine of great ageing potential yet immediate charm, it substantiates Clos Rougeard's eminent position amongst world-class wine producers. This is a remarkable embodiment of Loire Valley Cabernet Franc, an unequivocal standard-bearer in its category. |

Wine Advocate (97+)Raphel Coche told me that the 2012 Corton Charlemagne was the only vineyard that escaped hail damage this year. It has a very succinct nose, not predisposed to go out and grab you by the lapels. The aromatics unfurl with a sense of ease prioritizing finesse over power: beeswax, linden, lemon thyme and fresh pear. The palate is exquisitely balanced with fleeting glimpses of Seville orange and apricot. But there is more about the tension, the effortlessness and that it just rolls out across the finish like a huge Turkish rug. This is the kind of wine that exhausts superlatives. |

Wine Advocate (93)Aromas of crisp Anjou pear, lime zest, orange oil, fresh hazelnuts and white flowers introduce the 2019 Meursault Village, a medium to full-bodied, layered and incisive wine that's chalky and concentrated, with racy acids and an abundance of structuring dry extract. When I was served this wine blind a month after tasting it at the domaine, I mistook it for its 2017 counterpart, which should give some indication of the pitch-perfect balance Raphaël Coche succeeded in attaining in the more extreme 2019 vintage. |

Wine Advocate (98)Unquestionably one of the glories of the vintage, the 2003 Musigny Vieilles Vignes brings forth a highly boisterous nose of spices, violets, roses, plums, blueberries, and black cherries. Deep, powerful, graceful, concentrated, and sensually textured, it slathers the mouth with plums, blueberries, and cherries. Notes of mocha are intermingled with licorice in its exquisitely long finish. This noble wine is crammed with tannin, yet it is sweet and ripe. Projected maturity: 2010-2025+. |

Vinous (96)The 2017 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru showed some reduction on the nose, but there is impressive delineation and focus and real mineralité here. It just needs bottle age. The palate is very well balanced, a live wire of acidity, tensile and mineral-driven with a judicious touch of spice toward the persistent finish. This is very classy and persistent, translating the terroir with style, a wine that flirts with profundity. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. |

Vinous (96-98)The 2018 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru rivets you to the spot with crushed pebble and crushed limestone scents that could only really originate from this vineyard. Such intensity! The beautifully balanced palate delivers a fabulous line of acidity, notes of orange zest and white peach and a stunning crescendo toward the finish, which shows amazing persistence. A Les Perrières with class. Brilliant. |
