This wine feels cool and elegant, with the silky texture and floral spice of Chambolle. The fruit contrasts raspberries with rosemary-scented tannins, the herbal character winning out for now. Cellar it to let the fruit evolve.

This has the earthern cool of cave, its bright red cherry flavors shaded toward dark rose and smoky tannins. Quiet rather than flash, this has enough flavor concentration and spicy tannins to develop over the next several years.

More challenging that the Clos de Prieure, Le Clos Blanc offers so much heady complexity and gripping power that it feels gruff, needing a day for its tannic leesiness to mellow into savory scents. It tastes like a spcie box explosion, a grand wine that will be more approachable with ten years of bottle age. White grapes have grown at this 5.63-acre vineyard since 1100, currently 95 percent chardonnay, four percent pinot gris, and one percent pinot blanc, farmed under biodynamics since 2001. The vines are adjacent to the Chateau du Vougeot, neighboring Musigny and Les Amoureuses across the northern wall in Chambolle.

This two-acre walled vineyard once belonged to the Benedictine priory of the abbey of St-Germain-des-Pres in Paris. The chardonnay vines face east, were they border the Vouge stream, growing in calccareous soil with a lot of pebbles. The wine itself is all about minerals, its powerful density following a gracious, simple line. Deep and satisfyingly rich, its gravitas is lightened by scents of spice and flowers.

Year's Best White Burgundy. A formal, old-fashioned style of Burgundy, this wine's oak age contributes the scent of hazelnut butter. It's oxidative, with umami mushroom notes and mouthwatering acidity. The flavors will meld with roast salmon.
Score: 93+ | March 1, 2014 | Vinous/Antonio Galloni

Bright full red. Reticent, very pure aromas of candied cherry, rose petal, white pepper and blood orange. Lovely delicacy and inner-mouth tension to the penetrating flavors of pomegranate, cranberry and spices. A wine of outstanding finesse, finishing juicy, vibrant, perfumed and long. This classic Bonnes-Mares will need extended aging: I wouldn't think of uncorking a bottle for at least eight to ten years.
