Burghound, January 2008, Score: 92
A deeply pitched and slightly riper nose of cassis and spiced plum adds nuance to the intensely earthy aromas where the earth character can also be found on the rich, full and voluminous flavors that are almost opulent on the mid-palate yet the finish is borderline austere. This is a very serious effort that has a velvety texture but tightens up quickly on the backend due to the buried structure. Terrific potential here in a "built for the long haul" package that delivers amazing quality for its level.

Here the reduction is heavy and it not only crushes the fruit but it also extends to the palate and experience has proven that this is never a good thing. To be fair, reduction in the mouth isn't necessarily fatal but it is a serious warning sign that the wine may not clean up. There is excellent underlying material and it is on this that I base my provisional range but with an important question mark added. Drink: 2028+

Bright, dark red; these 2016s all have inviting limpid colors. Slightly reduced aromas of red berries, mocha and soil. Fleshier and more concentrated than the Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes, with its sweet dark fruit and spice flavors cut by musky minerality. At once silkier and more backward than the Millandes, finishing with substantial ripe tannins. With its rocky complexity, this wine reminded me of a mini-Bonnes Mares.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens ‘11 has an attractive bouquet with vivacious red cherries, bergamot and cold wet stones. The palate is well defined with a crisp line of acidity. This is a lighter style of Rugiens from de Montille and though it just lacks a little persistence, it does offer fine balance and poise.

The 2022 Pommard Epenots 1er Cru easily has the richest, most opulent bouquet with violet-tinged red fruit, quite vivacious in style, a Pommard determined to seduce. The palate is medium-bodied and perhaps more…contained than the aromatics. But plenty of black plum fruit, baking powder and cracked black pepper remain, exerting gentle grip on the finish. Quite robust, but it will age well in bottle. Drinking Window: 2025-2040.

(from a 1.5 ha parcel that is almost entirely in terres rouges). A reserved and openly taciturn nose reluctantly reveals notes of a cool and exceptionally fresh mélange of plum and red berries that are freely cut with stone and warm earth nuances. The mouth feel is unusually refined and while there is excellent size, weight and concentration to the large-scaled flavors, the tannins are quite fine though dense and it's clear that this markedly persistent and youthfully austereeffort will require plenty of cellar time. Note that while it's a minor distinction, this is notquite as austere as the Latricières. In a word, terrific. 2025+

Jasper Morris MW, May 2020, Score: 87
In search of a simple, but delicious wine to go with herb and lamb sausages, eaten outside on a warm late spring evening, assisted by the perfume of our favourite roses, Madame Alfred Carrie`re and Fantin Latour though the latter’s scent is so sublimely powerful that it might drown the pinot aromatics. Back to the wine. I chose the 2012 vintage from my favourite Clos des Perrie`res vineyard in Meloisey, a village famed for its wine in the Middle Ages. This is a dense powerful wine for the Hautes Co^tes yet with good acidity. It is maturing only slowly but is in a good place for drinking with tonight’s food.

Tayberry and spice on the nose, the crystalline fruit character provides a directness and mineral lift. Great purity and feeling of mineral tension on the finish.

Bailly noted that this had been bottled 3 days before I tasted it and not surprisingly, there was a background hint of sulfur on the more obviously Chablis-like nose of Granny Smith apples, lemon rind and tidal pool nuances. There is also better volume and mid-palate concentration to the more attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess an enveloping mouthfeel, all wrapped in a nicely long if not especially dry finale.
