"Discreet wood spice notes frame elegant, expressive and ripe red and blue pinot fruit aromas nuanced by hints of underbrush and earth that continu...

"Almost invisible oak allows the spicy, ripe and mildly sauvage red berry fruit aromas to shine and this transparency extends to the dense, serious...

"The 2009 Cote Rotie La Mordoree (471 cases) is potentially the finest La Mordoree made since the monumental 1991 (which is just beginning to hit f...

"The sweetly fruited, downright sexy 2014 Ermitage le Meal offers plenty of raspberry jam, toasted bread and floral notes in a ripe, expansive, mou...

"Medium red, a bit less saturated than the Mazoyères. Ripe aromas of musky strawberry, licorice and game are complicated by exotic oak tones. Sweet...

Founded in the late 1960s by Aimé Guibert and his wife Véronique, Mas de Daumas Gassac was born from their recognition of the extraordinary potenti...

"The 2008 Chapelle-Chambertin is a huge wine endowed with striking purity in its rich, dark fruit. Despite its sheer richness, the Chapelle also sh...

"This offers a completely different aromatic profile with its intense floral, earth and spice aromas that add considerable breadth to the red curra...

"It is an amazing achievement. Even better is the 2008 Ermitage l’Ermite (449 cases). Not as concentrated as Le Pavillon, it reveals a powdered roc...

"The 2014 Ermitage le Pavillon is another wine from this team that defies the vintage. Full-bodied, concentrated, impeccably balanced and seamless,...
