Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Beaux Bruns
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7506
This is quite densely fruited with a layered but tight nose of red, dark berry and violet aromas liberally sprinkled with ample, and pungent, warm earth notes that can also be found in abundance on the powerful and generous flavors that tighten up considerably on the rather linear and well-focused finish. There is good energy here and excellent concentration and the overall character is frank and direct though not rustic. Outstanding! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Louis Boillot Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7513
A rich mouthful of forward, sweet ripe fruit is underlain by refined tannins and this finishes long and polished, with an alliance of formidable intensity with elegance and no superfluous weight. I
Nicolas Potel Clos St Denis Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8283
very ripe yet beautifully fresh nose offers up elegant aromas of dark berry fruit trimmed in a bit of discreet wood spice leads to mouth coating and exceptionally rich flavors that drench the palate with buckets of dry extract on the textured and velvety finish. This is a relatively big Clos St. Denis that delivers outstanding length on the powerful and very firmly structured finale. Recommended. Allen Meadows-Burghound
Maison Nicolas Potel Clos De Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8282
Moderate wood spice frames mostly red berry fruit aromas that display intense earth and underbrush notes that continue onto the big, broad-shouldered and amply concentrated flavors blessed with plenty of dry extract that buffers the very firm tannins on the structured and notably powerful finish that delivers superb length. Don't Miss! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7507
This is thick and unctuous with sappy red and blue berry on a pure firm frame. The aromas are primary with violet, more fruit and barnyard notes. All of this lifted by soaring acidity and incredible freshness.
Domaine Humbert Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6634
An elegant, pure, lacy and ultra refined nose of dense red pinot fruit and subtle stone and spice notes dissolves into detailed, layered and beautifully nuanced middle weight flavors that possess perhaps the best transparency of the entire range and simply stunning length. Like the Poissenots, this is an exceptionally sophisticated effort that is refined and harmonious. Outstanding! Allan Meadows - Burghound
Maison Nicolas Potel Vosne Romanee Les Gaudichots 1er Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOSNE-ROMANEE
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8281
A soaringly pure and elegant nose features a beautiful mix of wood spice, natural spice and red berry fruit aromas that complement perfectly the pure, refined, minerally and intense flavors where the complexity of the nose resurfaces on the mineral-driven, linear and driving finish. Terrific and classy. Sweet Spot Outstanding! Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Humbert Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8355
This is clearly the ripest wine with an exceptionally pretty nose of fresh red pinot fruit nuanced by notes of game, warm earth and underbrush that is also picked up on the supple, sweet and detailed flavors on the muscled and beautifully long finish. Recommended. Outstanding! Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Jacques Prieur Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8277
A completely different aromatic profile is presented as here the nose is much more earth dominated with a mix of red, black and violet notes that sit atop rich, full and notably serious medium full flavors that offer excellent volume and here too a bit of wood surfaces on the youthfully austere finish. The mouth feel is quite firm yet the tannins are relatively fine. Excellent quality. Allen Meadows - Burghound
Chateau de la Tour Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6278
A deeply pitched and very ripe nose of earthy violet aromas trimmed in subtle wood spice notes introduces rich, full and powerful flavors that possess excellent mid-palate sap that helps to buffer the very firm and dense tannic spine on the youthfully austere finish. This is a very serious no-nonsense wine clearly built for long aging. Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey St Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7838
Noticeable if not dominant wood spice frames an earthy mix of both red and black berry fruit aromas complements the rich, full and generous mouth coating flavors that offer excellent intensity, all wrapped in a finish that sports completely buried tannins and fine length. Good juice and excellent potential. Outstanding! Allen Meadows-Burghound
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7339
This too is extremely fresh and vibrant with a highly expressive nose dominated by an intense minerality on the bright, elegant and airy red pinot fruit and hints of floral and violet notes that can also be found on the ripe, rich, full and stony flavors that are a model of harmony and transparency. This is textbook, indeed crystalline Estournelles and highly recommended.
Maison Nicolas Potel Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7816
Deep ruby. A strongly reduced nose gives up little but the well-muscled flavors are big, robust and very powerful and possess the class young Clos de Vougeot youthful austerity. This is very primary and awkward yet the quality of the raw material is clear and this should reward 10 to 15 years of cellar time.allen meadows-Burghound
Chateau de la Tour Clos De Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6890
This too is very densely fruited with the same intense floral notes but here the fruit is darker with blue and black berry aromas that continue onto the palate saturating and hugely concentrated flavors that exude power and punch yet there is real depth as well, all wrapped in a very firmly but not aggressively structured finish that leaves no doubt that this will last for 50 years or longer. Don't Miss! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Robert Arnoux Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7637
There is virtually no reduction here and the soaring nose offers notes of violets, earth, red and black pinot fruit and a distinct animale component that introduces big, robust and intense flavors that are textured, indeed even chewy but the tannic spine is well integrated on the hugely long finish. There is ample wood in evidence but there is so much concentration that the wine should integrate it successfully with time in bottle. Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Jacques Prieur Corton Bressandes Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - CORTON
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8278
This is notably ripe with very pretty, and yet again, very pinot in character with mostly red berry fruit aromas nuanced by hints of minerality and underbrush that marry into exceptionally pure, rich, supple and round and equally minerally medium-bodied plus flavors that evidence a subtle touch of wood on the firm and slightly chewy finish. This is serious and will require up to a decade to fully reach its apogee. Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Robert Arnoux Romanee St. Vivant Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOSNE-ROMANEE
Size750MLVintage2000SKU6859
Captivating aromas of hoisin, soy and plum introduce the fine, opulent, very spicy flavors. There is a surprising amount of structure here yet the tannins are ripe and round and the wine remains in perfect balance. Harmonious, classy and exquisitely long. A very fine effort for the vintage that should be relatively long lived.
Nicolas Potel Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6633
A surprisingly high-toned nose that is almost aggressively floral with a cool and reserved character that introduces chewy, focused and linear flavors that are obviously quite firmly structured on the serious, austere and backward finish that is hugely long, indeed it's the longest wine in the entire line-up. That said, it is classic young Bonnes Mares and it will not be a wine given to making friends in its youth. Don't Miss! Allan Meadows - Burghound
Nicolas Potel Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6631
A flat out gorgeous nose features violets, red pinot fruit and black berry notes trimmed in a deft touch of wood that gives way to rich, full and sweet flavors that possess unusually good detail, all wrapped in a powerful, deep and exceptionally long finish. This is also impeccably well balanced and should improve for at least a decade. Don't Miss! Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Ghislane Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Fuees
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - CHAMBOLLE-MUSIGNY
Size1.5LVintage2005SKU7508
Deep and flavorful with flashes of high-toned fruit and faint spice.. Dark red fruit and minerality reside on a palate with well integrated wood notes. This is a luxurious Pinot and very fine.
Domaine Alain Burguet Chambertin Grand Cru Clos de Beze
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7815
There is reduction here as well but much more subtle and does not significantly hinder the appreciation of the spicy dark berry fruit aromas that precede the textured, intense and mouth coating flavors which are sweet, rich and powerful with fine but dense tannins on the wonderfully persistent finish. This is a showy wine that possesses real depth of character.
Domaine Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7836
And speaking of typical, as usual this is the best wine in the range with a simply gorgeous range of seductive if serious aromas that include both red and blue pinot fruit, spice notes, game and underbrush hints that continue onto the classy, pure and wonderfully deep and palate-staining flavors oozing with ripe extract that completely buffer the firm but ripe tannins. This is also built to age and should reward amply 12 to 15 years of patience. A stunner of a wine. Don't Miss! Allen Meadows-Burghound
