The 2013 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has plenty of lilting dark plum and strawberry fruit on the nose, nicely defined and pure. The palate is medium-bodied with supple coffee-tinged black fruit, the Seguin Moreau oak coming on quite strong toward the finish that slightly obscures the terroir expression. Like some of the other of Drouhin-Laroze's 2013s, last year's offering was showing much better.Inc. TAX€1,661.74 -

(two-third Charmes and one-third Mazoyères): Bright ruby-red. Highly complex scents of black raspberry, wild faded rose, menthol, bitter chocolate and licorice. Juicy, spicy and round, with a firm spine of acidity invigorating the dark fruit, spice and floral flavors. Finishes lively and very long, with serious tannins buffered by mid-palate material. Strong juice!Inc. TAX€3,336.72 -

(a blend of 50- and 90-year-old vines, according to Dugat; 80% vendange entier; this and the following 2013s are aging in 100% new barrels): Deep red with ruby tones. Blueberry, blackberry and licorice on the nose, along with a fresh note of menthol. Clearly tighter and more backward than the Evocelles; less minerally but more peppery. No shortage of power or thrust here. Finishes with a tougher tannic spine that will require patience.Inc. TAX€1,444.49 -
Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2013 is a remarkable red wine that embodies the illustrious reputation of its producer, Domain Dugat-Py—a family-run winery in Burgundy since the 12th century, celebrated for its low-intervention approaches to wine making. Sourced from old vines in Gevrey-Chambertin, part of Burgundy's famed Côte de Nuits region, this 2013 vintage is a masterful expression of French Pinot Noir. Silky and savoury, it boasts a harmonious blend of crushed blueberries, dried cherries, and earthy tones reminiscent of dark chocolate and underbrush.
The winery's traditionalist methods and biodynamic principles shine through, with hand-harvested grapes, native yeast fermentation, and ageing in custom-made, low-toast oak barrels. The Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2013 marries power with elegance, promising an intoxicating complexity that only deepens with age. A must-have addition for any serious collector appreciating the mastery of fine Burgundy wines.

The 2013 Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru, which includes about 80% whole-bunch fruit, has a very expressive and well-defined bouquet, with mineral-rich black and red fruit that are very focused. The palate has more delineation than the Charmes-Chambertin, fine structure with a linear and focused finish. This is one of my favorites from the domaine this year - more ebullient and tense than many of its peers.Inc. TAX€3,423.43 -

Dujac's 2013 Charmes-Chambertin boasts serious intensity in its fruit backed up by equally imposing tannins. The flavors tend toward the darker end of the spectrum, while the overall structural feel suggests this is a Burgundy for the cellar. Overall, this is a tremendous showing from the Charmes. Dujac's Charmes is a blend of fruit from Charmes and Mazoyères.Inc. TAX€7,951.46 -

Full, dark red. Captivating rose petal lift to the aromas of red fruits, iron and minerals; less earthy and more ethereal than the Clos de la Roche. Also juicier and tighter in the mouth, showing less early sweetness but terrific acid spine and lift to the sappy flavors of raspberry and salty minerals. This wine has really put on weight since its bottling, noted Diane Snowden. But it still boasts terrific cut and inner-mouth tension. Lay this one down.Inc. TAX€3,011.29 -

The 2013 Echézeaux is one of the most open, expressive wines in the range today. Silky tannins and a pliant, resonant mid-palate convey an impression of suppleness that is unusual, even for Echézeaux. That theme continues through to a beautifully sculpted, generous finish. I expect the 2013 will drink well relatively early for a Grand Cru.Inc. TAX€939.55 -

A deep, pungent wine, the 2013 Morey St. Denis 1er Cru shows the wilder side of the village. Game, smoke, licorice, tobacco and incense are pushed forward in a textured, energetic Burgundy that appears to have a bright future. The Morey 1er Cru is a blend of fruit from Ruchots, Clos Sorbé, Millandes and Charrières.Inc. TAX€1,866.72 -

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru is actually more immediate and pleasurable than its 2012 counterpart at the moment: vigorous red berry fruit intermingled with orange pith and crushed stone. It is not as complex as say, the 2010, but it conveys a feeling of just wanting to give pleasure. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin intertwined with a fine thread of acidity. There is a mixture of red and black fruit, a hint of spice and sous-bois that segue into a very harmonious finish. The 2013 is endowed with more weight and concentration than I was expecting. Could it be the dark horse of the Aux Malconsorts thus far? Very impressive. Tasted at Flint Wines's Domaine Dujac tasting in London.Inc. TAX€4,506.72 -

The 2013 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a well-defined, very backward nose that clearly needs three or four years to open up. It is broody–the kind of aromatics that stalk you before inviting you in. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, brittle tannin. Here we find the energy of the vintage with a fine line of acidity and hints of blood orange merging with the red berry fruit toward the finish that fans out nicely. Give this four or five years in bottle because there is great potential here.Inc. TAX€2,677.68 -

The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles Saint-Jacques 1er Cru was served blind by Pierre Duroché following our tasting of 2019s. It has an attractive leafy bouquet with tertiary aromas, fresh and fully mature. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite austere in the mouth but pleasantly chalky toward the finish. A bit rustic compared to subsequent, more finely tuned vintages, but thoroughly enjoyable all the same. Drink now or keep for another 8–10 years. Tasted at the domaine.Inc. TAX€1,282.49 -

This is the first wine to show any appreciable wood influence though it's not so much as to detract from the overall sense of purity of the red and dark berry fruit aromas that also offer up notes of earth, humus, underbrush and game. I very much like the textured mouth feel of the intensely mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess fine power and punch on the robust, muscular and moderately austere finish. While the quality is comparable to that of the Champeaux and Estournelles St. Jacques, there is just a bit more overall depth here. Note that patience will be required.Inc. TAX€1,727.77 -
Vinous (91-93)
(Rouget ages his crus in 100% new oak): Bright red. Aromas of redcurrant, spicy oak and violet. Dense and sappy in the mouth, offering attractive spicy lift to the cranberry and redcurrant flavors. Subtler and finer than the village wine, and showing a firm mineral underpinning, but also oakier in the early going. This will need patience.Inc. TAX€919.73 -
(1x75cl) 2013Vinous (95)
Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of citrus fruits and rose petal. At once fine-grained and urgent, with harmonious citrussy acidity giving lift to the lemon-lime and floral flavors. Superb mineral energy partly makes up for the wine's lowish acidity (3.7 g/l). Really saturates the mouth and echoes on the finish, without leaving any impression of weight and echoes. Boudot believes that this wine will be good at every stage of its evolution.Inc. TAX€845.48 -

Bright medium red. Deep, musky nose combines cranberry, raspberry, cardamom, faded rose and crushed stone. Sweet, seamless and energetic, offering almost painful cut to the tart red berry, spice and musky underbrush flavors. Outstanding savory lift in the middle palate. Wonderfully lightness of touch here. Very backward wine with all the Cos de Bèze food groups: red fruits, minerals, spices, flowers, crushed stone. Stains the palate and leaves the taste buds quivering on the very long, firm finish. But still a baby today and in need of a decade of cellaring.Inc. TAX€1,341.37 -

Good deep red. Wild black cherry, licorice, crushed herbs, earth and a smoky nuance on the nose. Sweet on entry, then cool and medicinal in the mid-palate, with black cherry and licorice flavors dominating. Faiveley will bottle this very backward wine considerably later than the Echézeaux, probably in June, notes Hervet. Finishes quite tight, with a serious tannic spine calling for extended cellaring.Inc. TAX€1,060.32 -

Bright medium red. Rather cool nose offers scents of black cherry, dark raspberry, menthol, licorice, black pepper, caraway seed, crushed herbs and spices. Surprisingly smooth and fine-grained on entry, with its almost velvety texture enlivened by notes of fresh herbs, licorice, dried flowers and medicinal black cherry. Offers an attractive combination of subtle sweetness and salinity, conveying clear if subtle soil tones; more black fruits than red. Ultimately a midweight for this bottling. This may not possess quite the density or sweetness to buffer its dusty tannins, at least in the early going, but it's very young and still imploded, and displays considerable power for the vintage. From a very late harvest, beginning on October 2. (13.15% alcohol; 3.4 pH; 3.7 g/l acidity; 41 h/h yield)Inc. TAX€897.29 -

Here the reduction is sufficiently pronounced to flatten the fruit and render it hard to evaluate. There is superb intensity and minerality to the beautifully well-delineated middle weight flavors that also possess plenty of that lovely underlying tension on the balanced and impressively persistent finish. As the best example of Latricières always are this is a wonderful combination off finesse and focused power. Terrific.Inc. TAX€1,176.72

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.
