Aromas of roses and hedgerow fruits make this an attractive wine. To taste, it is savory, with ripe fruits that are balanced by solid tannins. A layer of dryness suggests this could age—give it five years before opening.

This is a firm, rich wine with ripe fruit. The purity and silkiness of Chambolle-Musigny show through the solid tannins, leaving an aftertaste of juicy red fruits.

There is good freshness here, the wine ripe, soft, with a fine crispness. Acidity, some wood, plum and currant flavors give texture and a final taut texture.

A big, toasty wine that shows deep, almost black color and generous fruit. The wood spice just avoids being too dominant, leaving room for fresh red fruit flavors and a layer of acidity.

A round, generous wine which has soft tannins built around a core of toast and ripe, red fruit flavors. In the end, it is the fruit which dominates, juicy, super-ripe and opulent. This wine will age over 5 years, but it gives great pleasure now.

A wine that looks, from its dark color, to be supremely powerful, but which, to taste, shows much more of the elegance of Chambolle-Musigny. There are flavors of red peppers, red fruits and a light amount of toast. It is delicious, fresh and well balanced.

A firm, tannic wine that hides ripe black fruit behind a severe exterior. Needs extended cellaring. Big, solid tannns and dry fruits give it complexity.

Aromatic fruit, with flavors of dark cherries and ripe plums, along with sweet wood notes. Good, solid tannins promise a long life ahead of it.

Firmly structured, with bitter black cherries, red berry fruits and concentrated but vibrant fruit. This is delicious Pinot Noir, not powerful, but immediately enjoyable. Aging? Maybe, but not more than 3–4 years.

An unusual Nuits-St.-Georges. Normally the wines are dark, dry and tannic. But this is fruity, light, fresh. With its vibrant red fruits, it seems very out of character, if pleasing.
