Courcel
Incredibly Domaine de Courcel has been owned by the same family for its entire 400 year history. Located near the village of Pommard they make some of the best reds in the Cote de Beaune, with stronger tannin and greater density than is typical for this region. This Burgundy estate has fans across the world.

Vinous (92)Good full red. Superripe, expressive nose offers redcurrant, iron, leather and smoky oak. Fat and sweet; shows a confectionery quality without coming off as heavy or cooked. Finishes with wonderful breadth and utterly lush, sweet tannins. |

Decanter (95)The best of the de Courcel reds in 2017, this comes from dense clay soils on the northern side of Pommard. Intense, scented and very rich, it has aromas of incense, white pepper and forest floor, with masses of dark, inky fruit, granular tannins and balancing freshness and acidity on the finish. |

Vinous (91)(these 2010s were bottled in September of 2012): Medium red. Sexy, soil-inflected aromas of raspberry and earth. Smooth, sweet and deep, with lovely juicy acidity and smoky minerality giving lift and shape to the mid-palate. The tannins fade into the fruit on the very pure, persistent finish. Excellent energy here. |

Vinous (92+)Good bright red. Complex, ripe aromas of raspberry, cherry, iron, minerals, spices, pepper and truffley underbrush. The sweetest, supplest and most refined of these 2011s, offering lovely harmonious acidity to its red fruit, red licorice and mineral flavors. Really coats the mouth and vibrates on the long, firmly tannic finish, which features a late burst of ripe but lively red fruits. Winemaker Yves Confuron says the 2011s here have similar precision to the 2010s but more middle, although he believes that the wines have shut down following the September 2013 bottling. |

Tim Atkin MW (96)The fact that Yves Confuron manages to make such impressive wines at this Pommard domaine, while also running his own family estate makes you wonder at his levels of energy. This is typically aromatic and spicy, with evident whole bunch characters on the nose and palate. It's also a very ethereal Pommard, with fine tannins and a focused, mineral finish. The tannins are there, but they support rather than dominate the wine. |
