(6x75cl) 2013Vinous (97+)
The 2013 La Tâche Grand Cru is dazzling. Bright and nuanced, the 2013 sizzles with energy right out of the gate. The 2013 is just starting to open. Ideally, a few more years in the cellar would be helpful, but the 2013 is so inviting at this stage. This late-ripening year produced a La Tâche that bristles with tension.Inc. VAT£37,489.24 -

A whiff of post-bottling reduction does little to detract from the strikingly well-layered and ever-so-mildly exotic fruit, white flower and softly wooded nose. The super-rich and full-bodied yet beautifully delineated flavors possess a borderline painful intensity along with a taut muscularity before culminating a focused, tightly wound and powerful finale that really fans out as it sits on the palate. Moreover this markedly dry but not really austere effort is what I describe as sneaky long because just as the finish appears to be dying away it suddenly come back and plays hide and seek with your palate. Like most vintages of the Domaine's Montrachet this is undeniably built-to-age but unlike some of them the 2013 rendition is not likely to drink particularly well before the age of at least 10 and should reward somewhere between 15 and 20.Inc.

The 2013 Richebourg Grand Cru was harvested on the afternoon of October 9 and then the following day at just 16.5 hectoliters per hectare, the second lowest after the Echézeaux. It is clearly the elder brother of the 2013 Romanée-Saint-Vivant with intense dark cherry, black plum, tayberry and crushed violet aromas (the latter, perhaps a nod to the Romanée-Saint-Vivant). As with all the domaine's wines this year, it is beautifully defined with beguiling transparency. The palate is medium-bodied, but there is serious weight and presence here. It is struck through with sorbet-like freshness, hints of blood orange tincturing the vibrant red fruit, seguing into a finish with great conviction and confidence, a Richebourg self-aware though not preening about its status. This is a Richebourg to cellar for several years and to enjoy over the next 20 to 25 years (or more). Production is 551 cases. Tasted February 2016.Inc. VAT£4,658.40 -

The 2013 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is still quite young, but it is drinking very nicely. Floral and lifted, with mid-weight, translucent structure, the 2013 expresses all of the understated finesse that is such a signature of this Grand Cru. Tea leaves, mint, dried flowers, cedar and blood orange weave through a core of red-toned fruit. Firm yet polished tannins extend the clean, bracing finish. Tasted next to the 2014, the 2013 is more aromatic and delicate in feel.Inc. VAT£3,538.79 -

The 2013 Beaune Grèves comes across as a bit compact and not as expressive as the other wines in the range. There is good depth and energy in the glass, along with expressive inflections of dark-fleshed fruit. A relatively high amount of CO2 masks some of the wine's personality today.Inc. VAT£100.13 -

The 2013 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has plenty of lilting dark plum and strawberry fruit on the nose, nicely defined and pure. The palate is medium-bodied with supple coffee-tinged black fruit, the Seguin Moreau oak coming on quite strong toward the finish that slightly obscures the terroir expression.

(two-third Charmes and one-third Mazoyères): Bright ruby-red. Highly complex scents of black raspberry, wild faded rose, menthol, bitter chocolate and licorice. Juicy, spicy and round, with a firm spine of acidity invigorating the dark fruit, spice and floral flavors. Finishes lively and very long, with serious tannins buffered by mid-palate material.

Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2013 is a remarkable red wine that embodies the illustrious reputation of its producer, Domain Dugat-Py—a family-run winery in Burgundy since the 12th century, celebrated for its low-intervention approaches to wine making. Sourced from old vines in Gevrey-Chambertin, part of Burgundy's famed Côte de Nuits region, this 2013 vintage is a masterful expression of French Pinot Noir. Silky and savoury, it boasts a harmonious blend of crushed blueberries, dried cherries, and earthy tones reminiscent of dark chocolate and underbrush.
The winery's traditionalist methods and biodynamic principles shine through, with hand-harvested grapes, native yeast fermentation, and ageing in custom-made, low-toast oak barrels. The Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2013 marries power with elegance, promising an intoxicating complexity that only deepens with age. A must-have addition for any serious collector appreciating the mastery of fine Burgundy wines.

The 2013 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru, which includes about 80% whole-bunch fruit, has a very expressive and well-defined bouquet, with mineral-rich black and red fruit that are very focused. The palate has more delineation than the Charmes-Chambertin, fine structure with a linear and focused finish. This is one of my favorites from the domaine this year - more ebullient and tense than many of its peers.Inc. VAT£2,875.87 -

Dujac's 2013 Charmes-Chambertin boasts serious intensity in its fruit backed up by equally imposing tannins. The flavors tend toward the darker end of the spectrum, while the overall structural feel suggests this is a Burgundy for the cellar. Overall, this is a tremendous showing from the Charmes. Dujac's Charmes is a blend of fruit from Charmes and Mazoyères.Inc. VAT£6,631.00 -

Full, dark red. Captivating rose petal lift to the aromas of red fruits, iron and minerals; less earthy and more ethereal than the Clos de la Roche. Also juicier and tighter in the mouth, showing less early sweetness but terrific acid spine and lift to the sappy flavors of raspberry and salty minerals. This wine has really put on weight since its bottling, noted Diane Snowden. But it still boasts terrific cut and inner-mouth tension. Lay this one down.Inc. VAT£2,625.62 -

The 2013 Echézeaux is one of the most open, expressive wines in the range today. Silky tannins and a pliant, resonant mid-palate convey an impression of suppleness that is unusual, even for Echézeaux. That theme continues through to a beautifully sculpted, generous finish.

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru is actually more immediate and pleasurable than its 2012 counterpart at the moment: vigorous red berry fruit intermingled with orange pith and crushed stone. It is not as complex as say, the 2010, but it conveys a feeling of just wanting to give pleasure. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin intertwined with a fine thread of acidity. There is a mixture of red and black fruit, a hint of spice and sous-bois that segue into a very harmonious finish. The 2013 is endowed with more weight and concentration than I was expecting. Could it be the dark horse of the Aux Malconsorts thus far? Very impressive. Tasted at Flint Wines's Domaine Dujac tasting in London.Inc. VAT£3,789.49 -

(Rouget ages his crus in 100% new oak): Bright red. Aromas of redcurrant, spicy oak and violet. Dense and sappy in the mouth, offering attractive spicy lift to the cranberry and redcurrant flavors.

Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of citrus fruits and rose petal. At once fine-grained and urgent, with harmonious citrussy acidity giving lift to the lemon-lime and floral flavors. Superb mineral energy partly makes up for the wine's lowish acidity (3.7 g/l). Really saturates the mouth and echoes on the finish, without leaving any impression of weight and echoes.

Sweet, seamless and energetic, offering almost painful cut to the tart red berry, spice and musky underbrush flavors. Outstanding savory lift in the middle palate. Wonderfully lightness of touch here. Very backward wine with all the Cos de Bèze food groups: red fruits, minerals, spices, flowers, crushed stone.

Sweet, seamless and energetic, offering almost painful cut to the tart red berry, spice and musky underbrush flavors. Outstanding savory lift in the middle palate. Wonderfully lightness of touch here. Very backward wine with all the Cos de Bèze food groups: red fruits, minerals, spices, flowers, crushed stone. Stains the palate and leaves the taste buds quivering on the very long, firm finish. But still a baby today and in need of a decade of cellaring.In Bond£1,010.00 -

Once again, 2013 was a difficult vintage for the winemakers of Burgundy, but those who were patient and meticulous produced wines of excellent quality. The spring was cold and wet which led to late and uneven flowering. Conditions worsened with a hailstorm in late July which hit areas of Savigny, Beaune, Volnay and Meursault in particular, but a warm and dry August helped fruit to ripen at a critical time. The best of the white wines are truly exceptional in 2013 due to their refreshing acidity which perfectly balanced the impressive purity of of fruit. While the reds were overall less acclaimed than the whites, they showed elegance and sheer drinkability due to their freshness and depth of fruit.
