New Burgundy wines in the Flickinger Fine Wines inventory http://www.flickingerwines.com/wineregions/burgundy.asp BH 90 (1/2008): This is also notably ripe but finer and more elegant with a very pinot nose that also reflects touches of earth and smoke that introduce supple, precise and also notably minerally middle weight flavors where the tannins are dusty, serious and firm. This is not an overtly powerful wine but rather one of finesse and understatement. Terrific for such young vines. Outstanding! Drink 2012+.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomdeLArlot.aspBH 91 (10/2009): A touch of natural exoticism sits atop notably riper aromas of peach and pear that slide into rich, full and powerful flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration and explode into a spicy, minerally and sappy finish. A classy effort that offers a completely different expression, particularly in that the flavors and finish are fleshier if less precise. A choice. Drink 2013+. Outstanding!http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomBillaud-Simon.aspBH 94-96 (10/2009): The most elegant wine in the range with a superbly seductive mélange of wood spice, white flower and citrus suffused aromas that introduce big, powerful and dynamic yet refined and ultra pure flavors that are complex, well muscled and lingering. A complete wine that has the dry extract to buffer the firm acid spine of a classic Les Clos. Drink 2014+.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomBillaud-Simon.aspIWC 93 (7/2010): Bright yellow. Complex aromas of lime, menthol, crushed stone and smoky silex Cutting, racy, classy wine; reticent but quite pure, with a tactile, palate-dusting quality and terrific inner-mouth energy. Most impressive today on the rising finish. No impression of thickness here; in fact, this boasts a lovely light touch. I'd like to have seen this wine made with less oak influence, but that may be quibbling.BH 92-95 (10/2009): This is perhaps the most elegant of these grands crus with its white flower and mineral reduction aromas nuanced by oyster shell hints that continue onto the rich, powerful and minutely detailed middle weight flavors that are precise, lemony and beautifully balanced on the strikingly long finish. In a word, terrific. Drink 2015+. Don't miss!http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomDroin.aspIWC 94 (7/2009): Pale yellow-green color. Knockout high-pitched nose combines white flowers, crushed stone, citrus peel, gingery spices and a saline oyster shell nuance. Quite reserved today but impeccably pure, displaying outstanding breadth and richness without any impression of weight. Wonderfully vigorous wine that saturates the entire mouth with tactile minerality and excites the taste buds. A great example of this superb premier cru. BH 92-94 (10/2009): A discreet touch of wood sets pure, elegant and airy floral and spice aromas that are in perfect keeping with the racy, energetic and classy medium weight plus flavors that possess excellent depth as well as superb length. This delivers grand cru quality. Drink 2014+. Sweet Spot Outstanding!http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomWilliamFevre.aspIWC 95 (7/2010): Pale lemon-yellow color. Crushed stone, white pepper, mint, licorice, cumin, minerals and white flowers on the very ripe yet vibrant nose. Rich and broad on entry, then explosive in the middle palate, saturating the mouth without giving any impression of weight, thanks to vibrant floral and citrus flavors and penetrating acidity. A great grand cru with finishing flavors that expand to coat the palate and teeth. This seemed more tactile and voluminous after I spit it (okay, swallowed it). I don't recall a better vintage for this cuvee BH 94-96 (10/2009): Even though the straight Bougros is finer than usual, it is no where near as elegant and pure as its counterpart as the high-toned and strikingly layered nose of oyster shell, mineral reduction and perfumed cool green fruit is extremely seductive and serves as a fascinating introduction to the concentrated, serious and powerful yet refined flavors that ooze a fine minerality on the mouth coating and hugely long finish. This is blessed with buckets of sap that completely buffer the firm acid spine. This is a flat out great effort that makes one go "wow". Drink 2015+. Don't miss!http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomWilliamFevre.aspIWC 96 (8/2008): Pale, bright yellow-green. Knockout nose combines ripe pineapple, dried fruits, lemon, lime, crushed stone, minerals and mint. A wine of outstanding intensity, power and thrust, with sappy mineral and toasted bread flavors saturating the palate. Most impressive today on the explosive, mounting, tactile finish, which leaves the mouth vibrating. This called to mind Corton-Charlemagne-or a great Austrian riesling. Winemaker Seguier loves this but feels that the 2004 is in the same quality league. And the 2007 is even more chalky, he adds.WA 95-96 (10/2008): Fevre’s 2006 Chablis Les Clos reflects its location in the chalky, stony upper reaches of that cru, with juicy lime; high-toned herbal essences including a hint of peppermint; fresh pit fruits; and a palpably chalky mineral dimension. Incredibly dense, yet shapely and not in the least heavy, this penetrates with uncanny grip, leaving your palate absolutely wrung-out. There is no doubt a wealth of nuance not even perceivable at this stage, but the stage is already set for an unforgettable show to reward anyone lucky and patient enough to follow this for 15 or more years. The 2005, incidentally, is equally dense and gripping, but more refined and forthcoming.BH 95 (10/2008): An airy, expressive and ultra refined and pure nose trimmed in very subtle wood notes offer up aromas of white flower, quinine, saline, minerals and seashore nuances that give way to rich and robust, indeed huge flavors that are perhaps a bit less refined than those of the Valmur or Preuses but there is another dimension here of depth that more than compensates. A great wine with a long future that should develop slowly yet because of all the mid-palate fat, be enjoyable young. Drink 2013+.WS 89 (9/2008): High-toned, showing lanolin, vanilla and citrus aromas and flavors. This is firm, but a bit tight now, with a compact finish. Needs time to harmonize. Best from 2009 through 2020. 270 cases imported.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomWilliamFevre.aspIWC 95+ (7/2010): Pale yellow-green color. Manages to be both explosive and reduced on the nose, offering strong notes of lime peel, seashell, spices, mint oil, white flowers and smoky, flinty minerality. Extremely backward on the palate, showing hints of smoked ham and dusty stone. Less silky and tactile today than the C o te Bouguerots but this will ultimately be the more complex wine. The extraordinary palate-saturating finish is like chewing on rocks today.BH 94-97 (10/2009): Here too the elegance of the nose is simply stunning with a layered and perfumed aromatic profile that oozes Chablis character and in particular, a fine minerality that continues onto the impressively concentrated and palate staining flavors that possess striking precision on the explosively long finish. This is a great Les Clos that will make old bones. Drink 2015+. Don't miss!http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomWilliamFevre.asphttp://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomEtienneGrivot.asphttp://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomEtienneGrivot.aspWA 89 (6/2004): Black cherries and blackberries are found throughout the aromatic and flavor profiles of the 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin. Medium-bodied, satin-textured, and expressive, it is a vivacious wine with a zesty finish. Projected maturity: now-2009. IWC 89 (4/2005): Medium red. Musky aromas of raspberry, cherry and minerals; very Chambolle-like. Then sweet and plump but juicy, with a silky texture and enticing flavors of raspberry and spices. This offers lovely pliancy and sweetness for a 2002 village wine.BH 88 (1/2005): A fresh, earthy, slightly sweet black fruit nose merges with sweet, sappy and complex flavors underpinned by remarkably sophisticated tannins and good finishing punch. This is really a lovely villages and it has eaten most of the wood it displayed from barrel. Drink 2008+.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomRobertGroffier.aspBH 87-90 (1/2004): Spicy and dark berry aromas lead to sexy, rich, velvety flavors that offer good volume and fine depth on the very long finish. Super quality for a Vosne villages that delivers excellent richness. Outstanding! Drink 2006-10.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomAlainHudelot-Noellat.aspWA 91-93 (6/2004): Jadot’s parcel of Echezeaux is located in a steep sector of the vineyard known as Les Rouges, requiring that it be worked with horses as tractors cannot cope with the slope’s gradient. The 2002's enthralling nose displays cherries, flowers, spices, and raspberries. Medium-bodied and refined, this is a concentrated, deep wine with an intensely spicy core of red fruits, violets, and minerals. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017. BH 90-93 (4/2004): Strong oak spice presently dominates the nose with round, sweet, rich and impressively complex flavors that deliver stunning length. This is quite a powerful wine yet there is almost no rusticity and I very much like the obviously high quality material. As with several wines in the range, my score awards the benefit of the doubt regarding the oak. Drink 2009-17.IWC 90-93 (4/2004): Red-ruby. Precise, perfumed aromas of black raspberry, violet and minerals. Highly aromatic in the mouth, with very dark flavors of blackberry, cassis, licorice and violet. Finishes firmly tannic and very long, with perfumed notes of violet pastille and spice. Aromatically expressive wine that should be accessible relatively early, even if it has the structure to last well in bottle.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/LouisJadot.aspBH 94 (4/2006): This is equally stylish and classy though completely different with a stunningly complex and ultra floral nose combining spice, earth and dark pinot fruit aromas that continue onto the detailed, powerful and fantastically long flavors that stain the palate with almost painful intensity and sap. This may very well equal the Vosne one day as the qualitative difference between the two is subtle indeed. Don't miss! Outstanding! Drink 2014+.WC 92 (4/2007): Good medium red. Sexy nose offers musky red fruits, minerals and earth. Sweet, silky and deep, offering an exhilarating combination of thickness and sappiness. Today this seems the most minerally and thus the freshest of these "blends." The tannins are sweet, and the finish shows excellent persistence.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomLeroy.aspBH 87-89 (1/2009): A touch of wood spice sets off elegant, pure, expressive and cool mineral-infused red berry fruit aromas that precede the precise, transparent and delicious middle weight flavors that culminate in a linear and mildly austere finish. This too is a quality villages and very Chambolle in basic character. Drink 2012+.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/DomMeo-Camuzet.aspBH 87-90 (1/2007): An ultra elegant and high-toned red pinot fruit nose complements the rich, sweet and detailed flavors that are more fruit than soil-driven but there is good punch to the sweet and delicious finish. I wouldn't describe this as overly deep or serious but the vivacity and generosity are really quite attractive. Drink 2011+.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/NicolasPotel.aspWA 89 (6/2007): The Potel 2005 Vosne-Romanee Vieilles Vignes leads with aromas of flowers, ginger, elderberry and cassis, then comes onto the palate impressively, saturating, full of black fruits, backed by soy and meat stock reduction. Abundant tannins are somewhat blocking the finish at present, however. As with his village Volnay, this is one of the few Potel offerings of which there is a significant volume (around 800 cases).BH 88-91 (1/2007): An expressive nose jumps from the glass to reveal spice, floral and sexy dark berry fruit aromas that are rich, full, intense and powerful. This is a big wine for a villages with good extract and ample phenolic maturity and while this isn't overly elegant, it's clearly a wine of quality, particularly for its level. Drink 2012+. Outstanding!IWC 88-90 (4/2007): Good deep red-ruby. Aromas of black raspberry, flowers and minerals, along with a meaty nuance. Sweet, fine-grained black raspberry flavor complicated by minerals and bitter chocolate. This is fat with fruit and boasts excellent depth for village wine. Finishes with big, ripe tannins.http://www.flickingerwines.com/growers/NicolasPotel.asp
