Vinous (91-93)
(tasted from cuve): Bright yellow. Inviting aromas of elderflower, citrus fruits, smoke and minerals, plus a noble whiff of reduction. Large-scaled, rich and deep, showing good mineral support for the flavors of red grapefruit, peony and warm stones. This boasts the depth of fruit to enjoy young or to hold for seven or eight years. Extremely rich for Saint-Aubin.Inc. TAX€178.75 -

The 2013 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru, which comes from the Mazoyères sector, has a very well-defined and quite intense bouquet with live-wire red cherry and strawberry preserve underpinned by zingy citrus fruits. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and plenty of sorbet-fresh red fruit that build toward a composed but energetic finish. No, not quite as thrilling as the 2012 tasted alongside, but surely one of the finest examples of this vineyard.Inc. TAX€257.33 -

The 2013 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru la Perrière, a vineyard that Hubert and Laurent have treated organically for three years, has a quite an intense bouquet with small red cherries, cranberry and raspberry preserve. The palate is very well balanced with just the right amount of acidity to cut through the succulent red fruit, although the finish does not quite possess the delineation that I was expecting at the moment.Inc. TAX€1,430.77 -
Vinous (89)
Medium red. Pungent aromas of raspberry, cranberry, blood orange and mint turned slightly high-toned and exotic with air. Juicy and a bit herbal in the mouth, with flavors of cranberry and pomegranate supported by pronounced saline minerality. Delivers a strong overall impression of small wild red fruits. Two thousand thirteen was a bit like 2008 but with less sun and more rain at the end, noted Laurent Lignier.Inc. TAX€104.35 -

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes has a delightful, crisp, delineated, beautifully poised bouquet with fine mineralité and tension. This is a top notch nose. The palate is seamless on the entry, silky smooth and utterly seductive, the acidity well judged. There remains some new oak to be absorbed, but there is plenty of fruit to absorb that with 4-5 years in bottle. This is a top notch vin de garde Chambolle-Musignny and there is not a great number of those this vintage. Tasted September 2016.Inc. TAX€170.35 -

The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny Village, which is matured in 20% new oak, has a very harmonious and quite intense bouquet with pure raspberry and wild strawberry scents unfurling. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin: crisp dark berry fruit with black plum and a dash of black spice on the finish. There is impressive length here for a village cru that is compact but focused.Inc. TAX€785.66 -

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru felt rather stemmy on the nose, especially when compared to others in this flight, although it improves with aeration and gains cohesion. A hint of Earl Grey perhaps? The palate is medium-bodied with firm, almost rigid tannin. The acidity is well judged and lends this a sense of natural balance and poise, which particularly comes through on the tensile finish. This is a very fine Clos Vougeot made with a deft hand.

The 2013 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers has a cohesive bouquet with red currant, raspberry and just a touch of tinned peach, quite Vosne-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, the oak needing a little more time to fully integrate. But it is endowed with a pleasant, endearing spiciness, almost fieriness that lends the finish intrigue. This has finesse and focus, constituting and supremely well-crafted 2013.Inc. TAX€169.88 -

Vinous (93+)
Deep red. More medicinal and reticent on the nose than the Romanée Saint-Vivant, offering scents of black cherry, menthol and licorice. Tactile and dense but very closed and unforthcoming. Less sweet and more savory than the RVS, showing less early sex appeal but more power. This struck me as much more affected by the bottling last March than the RSV.Inc. TAX€1,079.00 -
Wine Advocate (93-95)
The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Malconsorts was the latest to finish its malolactic in mid-September. The nose has plenty of energy: red berry fruit, orange sorbet, wet limestone and fresh prune scents. The palate is primal with a dense body of red fruit. There is better weight here than the Suchots with more persistence on the peacock’s tail finish. Is this the Malconsorts of the vintage?Inc. TAX€1,424.56 -

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Suchots, which comes from the domains century-old vines on more clayey soil than the Beaumonts, has a pixilated bouquet with vibrant red currant and cranberry scents, more floral than the aforementioned premier cru. The palate is medium-bodied with supple juicy tannins, a fine line of acidity and a tangy marmalade-tinged finish that coats the mouth in spicy red fruit. There is just lovely build to this Suchots that is streets ahead of the 2012.Inc. TAX€478.28 -
(6x75cl) 2013Vinous (90)
Full, deep red. Musky redcurrant, iron and dusty spices on the nose. Suppler and sweeter than the Vosne villages but without quite that wine's cut and precision. The musky red fruit and spice flavors show very good breadth and depth, with the finish revealing serious tongue-dusting tannins. Supported by solid underlying minerality but this wine is surprisingly accessible already.Inc. TAX€847.68 -
Vinous (91-93)
(the Humberts' vines are situated on rocky soil in the northern section of Mazoyères-Chambertin): Slightly high-toned aromas of black raspberry, currant, rocks and licorice pastille, plus a sexy note of smoky oak. The fattest and sweetest of this 2013 collection, already showing a lot of early personality to its dark fruit and licorice flavors. Turns tougher and stonier on the rather powerful, tannic back end. I can certainly envision this wine shutting down in the bottle.Inc. TAX€225.55 -
Vinous (90-93)
(from 65-year-old vines): Bright, deep red. Medicinal black cherry and minerals on the reticent nose. Densely packed and youthfully imploded, showing little in the way of early sweetness. The pungent black cherry, blackberry and licorice flavors show terrific clarity and class but will require extended aging to blossom in bottle. The tannins spread out to saturate the entire palate on the long, perfumed, violet-tinged finish.Inc. TAX€142.75 -

The Cacheux family's unwavering commitment to sustainable farming practices reflect distinctly in the depth and character of this wine. As a hallmark of the 2013 vintage, it's a modest representation of power and finesse.

Vinous (95)
Bright, dark red. Knockout nose combines raspberry, flowers and crushed stone. Utterly seamless on the palate, with its fruit sweetness perfectly countered by minerality. The wine's powerful stony underpinning gives it outstanding sappiness and inner-mouth tension. Offers a remarkable combination of thick, silky texture and energy. Finishes with thoroughly buffered, noble tannins and outstanding length. This should evolve slowly and gracefully for at least the next two decades.Inc. TAX€2,889.96 -

Good full, dark red. Raspberry and stone on the nose, lifted by floral high tones. Denser and spicier than the village Chambolle, showing a bit more oak influence but not quite the pristine fruit quality of that wine. More saline and electric.

Full red. Aromas of medicinal black cherry, licorice and menthol are quite reticent compared to those of the Charmes. Suave and penetrating on the palate, displaying enticing violet lift to the pure aromas of black fruits and game. Firm tannins and strong acidity clamp down on the chiseled, energetic, very long finish, which offers a refined hint of black pepper Juicy, savory Chambertin with nothing hard about it.Inc.

A discreet if not invisible application of wood sets off earthy liqueur-like aromas of black raspberry, rose petal and exotic tea scents.

This is good stuff as it's Corton-like but elegant.Inc. TAX€878.46 -
Burghound (93-95)
(Don't Miss!) The breezy nose is also overtly spicy with markedly ripe yet fresh aromas of plum liqueur, cassis and Asian-style tea nuances. There is outstanding concentration to the powerful yet polished and sleek broad-shouldered and mineral-inflected flavors that are at once muscular and refined while delivering positively terrific depth and length. I very much like the balance and this stunner of a wine should also reward longer-term cellaring.Inc. TAX€5,436.72 -

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Chevalier-Montrachet Clos de Chevalier Grand Cru has a slightly muffled bouquet compared to its peers, needing to muster more precision and mineral expression. The palate is fresh on the entry with a smooth and lightly honeyed texture, vanilla and white chocolate notes from the new oak, perhaps a little too generous for a wine of this standing yet undeniably quite delicious.

Once again, 2013 was a difficult vintage for the winemakers of Burgundy, but those who were patient and meticulous produced wines of excellent quality. The spring was cold and wet which led to late and uneven flowering. Conditions worsened with a hailstorm in late July which hit areas of Savigny, Beaune, Volnay and Meursault in particular, but a warm and dry August helped fruit to ripen at a critical time. The best of the white wines are truly exceptional in 2013 due to their refreshing acidity which perfectly balanced the impressive purity of of fruit. While the reds were overall less acclaimed than the whites, they showed elegance and sheer drinkability due to their freshness and depth of fruit.
