A rich, spicy, new wood-flavored wine from a unique parcel of white grapes next to the famed Clos de Vougeot. The wine is big, rich and densely flavored, packed with fresh apricots, and finishes with a hint of caramel. Imported by Boisset America.

This enclave of Chardonnay in the Pinot Noir-dominated Vougeot is a curiosity, but a delicious one. It comes from a parcel of chalky soil, first planted by monks in the 11th century. The wine is soft, ripe, dominated by apricot freshness and sweetness, but keeping an edge of spice and crisp final acidity. Imported by Boisset America. Editors’ Choice.

Very fragrant, yet still showing the chunky, full-flavored profile of the vineyard, this ripe, hot wine has plenty of punch and a delicious, engaging range of fruit, leaf and leather.

Soft and generous, full of perfumed ripe berry fruits, touched with strawberry acidity. The tannins are all part of the softness, like flecks of dust on the wine. It is beautifully pure, ripe and open.

A big, ripe wine that hints of earthiness and then bursts into powerful, rich black fruits and red cherry acidity. With its balanced, concentrated structure, it exemplifies the power in Gevrey-Chambertin. From a vineyard high on the Gevrey slope, this reveals warmth as well as power.

This wine comes from the new, no-expense-spared domaine created by the Boisset family, and its quality shines. There are sensational aromas of crushed raspberries and new wood. To taste, it is firm, but with a generous center that supports the elegant structure. This is a wine worth aging for at least five years.

An ample, smooth wine, its velvet texture given a firmer edge by the dark, heavy tannins that roll through. This has concentration, black figs and dark berry fruits along with ripe acidity. The texture is contained in a firm, dense structure. A wine worth aging, for at least 4–5 years.

For a Clos de Vougeot, this is at first surprisingly mineral. Only as the wine opens in the mouth do you find this beautiful ripe fruit, an explosion of red berries driven forward by black plum skin flavors and dark tannins. It is certainly powerful, but manages to wear its power lightly.

A well-integrated wine that combines spice and black fruits in fine proportions. It is solid, but has delicious, approachable sweet fruit flavors.
