Item RD679
Pinot Noir: Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-92 points "A pungent nose of reduction and wood spice though the oak is less apparent on the dusty, intense and round flavors that are mouth coating, delicious and sweet, underpinned by relatively fine tannins and plenty of finishing power. By the usual standards of this wine, it's exceptionally impressive, indeed perhaps the best I have ever seen and it's particularly well balanced."

Chardonnay: WA 91 pts
"Orange zest, white pepper, mint, and chalk dust contribute pungency and complexity to the Billaud-Simon 2006 Chablis Vaillons, a brightly citric, slightly lean, cherry pit-tinged, and decidedly mineral exercise in Chardonnay that finishes with real cut and grip. The old vines here have produced something uncompromising and I suspect with at least 7-9 year bottle potential. Billaud pronounces this an excellent example of his preferred style of Chablis."

Item RD1067
Pinot Noir: Burghound 92-94 pts
"Subtle wood spice, violets, cassis, plus and warm earth aromas combine to introduce rich, full, complex and mouth coating flavors that possess perfect balance, particularly between the often counterbalancing aspect of power and detail. This is a stunning Echézeaux with everything it needs for a long evolution yet so much mid-palate sap that it will be approachable relatively young. Don't Miss!"

Pinot Noir: Burghound 90-92 pts
"An airy, ripe and pure nose combines subtle spice hints with expressive aromas or red and blue pinot fruit plus violet notes that precede the detailed and precise yet full-bodied flavors that are textured and seductive as they ooze dry extract and lend balance to the otherwise chiseled and palate staining finish. This too should age very well over the medium plus term."

Item RD1070
Pinot Noir: Burghound 88-91 pts
"This is almost a hypothetical blend of the old vines cuvée and the Jachées as it brings to bear the elegance of the latter with the concentration and dry extract of the former, all wrapped in a velvety and mouth coating finish that delivers admirable length and punch. I very much like the underlying sense of tension and energy and this should make for a fine effort with mid-term cellaring, which is to say 6 to 8 years or so. Outstanding!"

Item RD1071
Pinot Noir: Burghound 89-92 pts
"Not surprisingly, this is a clear step up in aromatic complexity with beautifully deep black fruit aromas that reflect both spice and earth nuances that can also be found on the rich, full and moderately powerful medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a firm and mouth coating finish that goes on for a good 30+ seconds as it seems to die out and then revives itself. Very solid cellar potential here. Sweet spot Outstanding!"

Item WH498
Chardonnay: Burghound 89 pts
"A moderately exotic and nicely complex nose of lychee nut, apricot and mango leads to noticeably sweet, round and utterly delicious medium full flavors that are generous but with no trace of heaviness and there is good vibrancy to the solidly long finish. This would be a great choice for an aperitif or summer sipper yet it's a serious wine with sneaky length and fine intensity that could be enjoyed now or left for several years in the cellar. Recommended. Outstanding!"

Item WH349
Chardonnay: Allen Meadows, Burghound 97 "As it should be, this is the best wine here with its compelling nose of acacia blossom, distinctly ripe orchard fruit and gorgeously exotic spice notes that seem to keep changing every few minutes followed by classy, pure and fine flavors that possess both seriously impressive power and wonderful elegance, which continues onto the multi-dimensional, dense, long and palate staining finish. This is very much of a baby and will need plenty of time to really open up so be prepared to wait. Note that there was a trace of reduction on the nose so it would be best to decant this for 30 minutes first if curiosity gets the best of you! Don't miss!"

Chardonnay: Allen Meadows, Burghound 91 points "This is also notably ripe but airy with high-pitched exotic fruit aromas that work with the rich, sappy and textured flavors blessed with ample dry extract and a silky, palate staining and classy finish that stops just short of being bone dry.

Pinot Noir: BH 88 pts
"Very bright if not really elegant red berry fruit notes combine with sweet, round and rich flavors supported by very supple, almost easy tannins that suggest 2 to 3 years of upside. The underlying material here is excellent and there is a real sense of volume in the mouth, which combined with the complexity and persistence make for a very attractive effort, particularly at this level."

Chardonnay: Allen Meadows, Burghound 89 "A very gentle touch of pain grillé frames aromas of straw, peach and a slightly earthiness that complements the detailed and relatively generous flavors that retain a good sense of delineation on the dry finish. This is not particularly complex but I like it anyway as there is a certain style and class here."
