Stephen Tanzer 91 points “Bright pale yellow. Tight, pure aromas of lime, quinine and ginger. Chewy, dense and rich, with brisk citrus fruits and saline minerality energizing the middle palate. Finishes tactile and impressively long for Montagny.”

Jadot Savigny Les Beaune Les Guettes Blanc 2011 ($41.95) $33 special 20 bottles available
John Gilman 90 points “The 2011 Clos des Guettes blanc is again a very pretty wine, with that telltale touch of pastry cream on both the nose and palate that indicates the malo was partially blocked here. The stylish and inviting bouquet is a lovely mélange of apple, orange, crème patissière, stony minerality and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and quite driven by its underlying minerality, with snappy acids and very fine length and grip on the youthful finish. This is very tasty, but will want a year or two in the cellar to fully blossom…”

Stephen Tanzer 89-91 points “Ripe fresh apricot and marzipan on the nose, along with a mineral component. Juicy, spicy and minerally; more taut and less fat than the basic village offering. Showing its oak but finishes with good cut and grip”

Stephen Tanzer 87-90 points “(I tasted an assemblage of all five components): Sexy nose combines white flowers, spices and musky lees. Fat, plush and sweet, with a firm mineral edge giving the mid-palate a more chiseled quality than the Chassagne villages. The citrus and dusty stone finish conveys an impression of grip and firmness.”
Tribut Chablis Beauroy 2011 ($44.95) $36 special 16 bottles available
Stephen Tanzer 89-91 points “Reticent nose hints at grapefruit, crushed stone and menthol. Juicy, spicy and rather round, with citrus and stone flavors opening in the glass. Ultimately sweeter and softer than the Cote de Lechet, and nicely concentrated for the year. This wine has been in older barrels for the past three months; it will be racked and assembled in September.”
Verdet Hautes Cotes de Nuits Prieure Blanc 2010 ($39.95) $33 special final 9 bottles available
From the winery: Hautes Côtes Le Prieuré, owned by the winery, was planted in the 1970’s and has been certified organic since 1971. Behind the charming village of Arcenant 5 miles west of Nuits St Georges, this vineyard is composed of limestone & clay. The white PRIEURE has a crystalline nose of lime zest and mineral stoniness with a full body and mouth watering acidity.

Stephen Tanzer 89 points “Light, bright red. Dark berries and spices complicated by licorice and game on the nose. Supple, round and juicy, with plum and underbrush flavors showing both sweet and savory qualities. In a more flattering style than the Beaune Epenottes, and the fine dusting of tannins will not get in the way of early enjoyment.”

Digioia- Royer Bourgogne Rouge 2011 ($24.95) $21.90 special 24+ bottles available
Michel Digioia has been at the helm of this domaine, discreetly tucked down a side-street in Chambolle, since 1999 after taking on the vines of his wife’s family, who established the domaine in the 1930s. In 2003 Michel began to bottle his own wine, paying careful attention to his manually harvested vineyards. Domaine Digioia-Royer has a strong focus on Chambolle-Musigny; all the village and premier cru wines are from the village. The Bourgogne Passetoutgrain, instead of the usual proportions with one third pinot noir and two thirds gamay, is made with equal amounts of both grape varieties.

Stephen Tanzer 87-89 points “Good bright, deep red. Strong animal reduction along with black and red fruits on the nose. Silky and supple for a Nuits villages owing to ripe acidity, with a lovely restrained sweetness to its dark fruit flavors. Finishes with suave tannins and good breadth and length. Very nicely balanced.”

Wine Spectator 91 points “Though the cherry flavor is bright and pure, there’s a woody component to this wine that lends a sweet spice note and dry tannins to the finish. Elegant and tight-grained. Best from 2015 through 2027. 170 cases imported”

Wine Spectator 91 points “Bright and succulent, with a touch of oak lending spice accents to the candied cherry core. An elegant, lacy red, yet with intensity. Feels like it’s holding something back. Best from 2015 through 2027. 229 cases imported”

Wine Enthusiast 92 points “The Clos de la Croix de Pierre forms part of the En Caradeux premier cru, and it creates poised wines. This is the red partner to a white also produced by Louis Jadot, and it displays juicy red fruit, layered with firm tannins. Drinkable now, but also capable of aging for five years.”
Jadot Savigny les Beaune La Dominode 2010 ($49.95) $39 special final 11 bottles available
Wine Advocate 90 points “The 2010 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Dominodes has a vivacious nose with plenty of crisp red currant and fresh strawberry fruit that burst from the glass. The palate is well-balanced with crisp acidity, firm grip and a touch of spice toward the lifted finish. This is a lovely, lilting Savigny that I would rather drink in its youth. Drink now-2017.-NM”

John Gilman 89+ points “The 2010 Gevrey AC was also one of the last to finish up malo in the cellars this year, but the wine was showing very good potential. The nose is a fine mélange of black cherries, cassis, coffee bean, fresh herb tones, woodsmoke and black minerality. On the palate the wine is fullish, long and complete, with a fine core, moderate tannins and very good length and grip on the tangy finish. This too will get a ‘booster’ of de-classified premier cru barrels and will probably merit a 90+ point score once that takes place.”

The Matrot domaine is one of the oldest estate-bottlers in Burgundy and one of the largest and most important properties in Meursault. 100% estate-bottling has been practiced at the domaine since Thierry’s grandfather, Joseph Matrot, took it over in 1908. The domaine farms about 3/4 of its 45 acres, some of the finest vineyards in the heart of Burgundy. The average age of the vines is an impressive 30 years. Thierry Matrot works towards the achievement of one major goal: to produce a wine that retains its elegance while maximizing both the fruit and the native tang of the soil. In order to accomplish this goal, he relies upon his wine making philosophy: “wine is made in the vineyards – and far less than people think, in the cellar.”

Stephen Tanzer 88 points “Medium red. Perfumed, slightly liqueur-like, high-toned aromas of candied raspberry and rose petal. Red cherry and menthol flavors are perked up by dill and mint nuances and given definition by bright acidity. Silky-sweet but at the same time fresh for 2009. Good honest wine with dusty tannins and very good verve.”

Laurent Roumier Hautes Cote de Nuits 2010 ($39.95) $33 special 24+ bottles available
Roumier is a family of 3 generations which started by Georges Roumier who had found this in 1924. Today, there exists two seperate domaines, Christophe Roumier and Domaine Laurent Roumier. All of the wines in the Roumier repertoire are beautifully aromatic, with exceptional intensity and made in his quintessentially elegant style, including the lovely Chambolle. The Hautes Côtes de Nuits plot is located immediately above Roumier’s Chambolle Musigny vines, and the wine has a similar vibrancy and represents superb value for money.

Wine Spectator 89 points “A suave, polished style, bursting with cherry, raspberry, smoke and spice flavors. Features some grip, rounded out by a long, fruit- and spice-filled finish. Best from 2014 through 2022.”
