2012 Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne 1er Orveaux
US$94.84
The 2012 les Orveaux from Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret is very elegant this year and is going to be a lovely example of this consistently fine premier cru. The deep and quite red fruity nose wafts from the glass in a very pretty display of cherries, blood orange, woodsmoke, fresh herb tones, a fine base of soil, cedar and a lovely topnote of fresh nutmeg. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and nascently complex, with fine mid-palate depth, fine-grained tannins and a long, focused and tangy finish. Like the Vosne AC, this still needs time to fully absorb its new wood, but it will be excellent with some bottle age.

2012 Mongeard-Mugneret Clos Vougeot
US$146.71 Like the 2012 Echézeaux, the Clos Vougeot from Mongeard-Mugneret is supremely elegant out of the blocks this year. The superb bouquet is a mix of red plums, cocoa, cherries, gamebirds, a touch of nutskin, woodsmoke, a fine base of soil and spicy new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and complex with a sappy core...

2006 Mascarello Ca d'Morissio Riserva
US$391.23 Full medium-deep red. Full-blown aromas of cooked strawberry, mocha, menthol, brown spices and prune, with mineral and marzipan notes emerging with air. Then almost shockingly penetrating and delineated on the palate, conveying an impression of thrust without weight. Strawberry and raspberry flavors are complicated by a hint of exotic fruits. The wine's very firm tannic spine will require at...

2009 Bérêche Reflet d'Antan
US$100.03 In recent years, Bérêche has sought to make the Reflet d'Antan feel fresher and less oxidative, and this has been to the wine's benefit: oftentimes when older wines are stored in a perpetual cuvée, particularly in wood, they can rapidly become heavily burnished and patinated. By slightly increasing the emphasis on the younger wine, Bérêche has succeeded in expressing...

2012 Mongeard-Mugneret Echezeaux
US$131.89
A distinctly menthol-infused nose speaks of red and black pinot fruit, spice and floral aromas, all of which are trimmed in noticeable wood. There is impressive richness and volume to the mouth coating flavors that possess an abundance of dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm, balanced and beautifully persistent finish.

2012 Mongeard-Mugneret Grands-Echezeaux
US$213.40 The 2012 Grands Echézeaux from Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret is a great young wine and a very impressive example of just how special this vintage is in the Côte de Nuits. The exceptional and quite classic bouquet offers up scents of red and black plums, cocoa, duck, woodsmoke, a beautifully complex base of soil tones and a very suave base of...

2012 Jean-Marc Bouley Pommard 1er Leonie
US$133.38 There is no Fremiets or Les Rugiens this year because of hail damage, so there is one 2012 Pommard 1er Cru Cuvee Leonie, named after his 4-month daughter. There were two barrels from each climat, so it was an opportunity to see how they blended together. The Fremiets is 100% whole bunches while Les Rugiens was completely de-stemmed. It...
