Vinous (88-90)(12.2% alcohol with 4.4 grams of acidity; cropped at 28 hectoliters per hectare): Cool aromas of lime and spearmint. Then surprisingly dense and sappy in the mouth, with brisk lemon and lime fruit flavors accented by gingery spices. Quite dusty and tactile for such a low-octane wine: it's difficult to find this style outside of Burgundy. Finishes floral and persistent. |

Vinous (91)(70% vendange entier; 100% new oak): Bright, dark red. The nose offers a sexy amalgam of redcurrant, rose petal, iron, smoky oak and truffley underbrush. Quite silky and plush for the year but the ripe red fruit and soil flavors are accented by an element of peppery herbs. Finishes ripe, smooth and long. Deceptively approachable today, but has the stuffing for a graceful evolution in bottle. I like the stem influence here. |

Vinous (95)The 2013 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is blossoming into a gorgeous wine. It has an attractive, pure and winsome bouquet with dark berry fruit, crushed stone and undergrowth aromas supremely well bound together by the oak. So precise and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, edgy and precise with just the right amount of salinity towards the finish. Très Grand Cru. This evinces the finesse that winemaker Charles Lachaux has brought to the domaine. Tasted at the annual Arnoux-Lachaux tasting at Corney & Barrow. |

Vinous (93+)(50% vendange entier; 100% new oak; bottled the same day as the Suchots, in May of 2015): Bright dark red. Tighter and darker on the nose than the Suchots, hinting at black fruits, licorice, minerals and flowers. Also less sweet in the mouth but already delivers outstanding tension and definition, with the dark fruit and bitter chocolate flavors complicated by an element of noble herbs. The superb palate-staining finish features firm, suave tannins and outstanding subtle persistence. This aristocratic wine will need more patience than the Suchots but should ultimately surpass it. |

Vinous (93)(50% vendange entier; 100% new oak): Medium red. Tighter on the nose than the 2014 version, offering scents of raspberry, bitter chocolate and peppery spices; this will go truffley with bottle age. Then surprisingly sweet but pungent in the mid-palate, combining a wonderfully silky texture with terrific floral tension. Boasts high-pitched citrus peel, blood orange and spice notes that excite the taste buds. Finishes with very fine-grained tannins and terrific grip and length. Near-grand cru quality here. |

Vinous (92+)(purchased fruit from vines on the Puligny side of the cru near the Chassagne border): Wet stone and menthol dominate the nose. Chewy and vinous but tighter at present and less harmonious than the Grandes Ruchottes. In a powerful style but not thick or heavy. The echoing finish is salty and dry. This will need time in bottle. |

Densely packed, smooth and refined, showing lovely freshness and lift to its intense stone fruit and floral flavors. Finishes very long and suave, with an impression of fine-grained tannins and terrific lift. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (96)The 2013 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru has a well-defined, seductive bouquet with brioche, hints of white peach, and underlying chalky scents that become more prominent with aeration. The palate is beautifully balanced, quite elegant in style with brioche again, white pithy fruit and lemon thyme. Exquisite delineation on the finish completes a very refined Chevalier-Montrachet. Tasted at the "Three" dinner at Bouchard Père in Beaune. |

Vinous (94)Moderately saturated medium red. Highly nuanced scents of red cherry, raspberry, flowers and underbrush. At once silky and penetrating, showing a positive medicinal aspect to its flavors of red berries, flowers and spicy herbs. Very shapely wine with a rising finish featuring suave tannins and noteworthy finesse. A superb showing; this strikes me as more refined than the larger-scaled 2014. |

Wine Advocate (91)Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru from Bruno Clair has a vivacious bouquet with Morello cherry and raspberry, a slightly chocolaty scent deriving from new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, dark berry fruit that is a little dominated by the wood regime at the moment. It will probably pull through but needs to develop greater substance on the finish to warrant a higher score. Tasted September 2016. |

The 2013 finishes with substantial weight and a burst of dark fruit. This burly, powerful Burgundy is going to need time to come together. |

Wine Advocate (86-88)The 2013 Vosne Romanee les Champs Perdrix has a tightly wound bouquet with black cherries and bilberry scents. The palate is nicely structured, slightly grainy in texture with a touch of orange sorbet tincturing the small dark cherries on the finish. This is a pretty little thing, though perhaps just a touch ephemeral. |

Wine Advocate (91-93)The 2013 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Beaux Monts Vieilles Vignes has a well-defined, mineral-led bouquet with lifted, perfumed blackberry and kirsch scents, hints of limestone just underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly sappy black cherry and raspberry fruit leading to a harmonious and svelte finish. This is a little more structured than the Aux Brûlées at this stage and will probably require a little more bottle age. |
