Medium red. Exotic candied raspberry, game, rose petal and crushed stone on the come-hither nose. Delivers outstanding clarity of flavor without any hard edges, with the red berry and mineral flavors lifted by a floral topnote. Wonderfully refined and alive in the middle palate. Finishes with noble tannins and outstanding building vibrant length. A prime example of an impeccably balanced 2013 that's not a fleshpot.In Bond£1,542.00 -

Pale, bright yellow. A note of meaty reduction to the aromas of crushed stone, white pepper and smoke. 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.In Bond£1,772.00 -

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.In Bond£714.00 -

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.In Bond£1,318.00 -

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.In Bond£1,314.00 -

Imposing and structured today, the 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru is built on spine of serious tannin that gives the wine much of its personality. The 2013 finishes with substantial weight and a burst of dark fruit. This burly, powerful Burgundy is going to need time to come together.In Bond£449.00 -

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.In Bond£110.00 -
