BH 91-93 (1/2006): The nose is slightly riper with spicy dark pinot fruit and earth notes leading to rich, sweet, round and powerful flavors packing plenty of punch and volume supported by a dusty and firm tannic spine that is completely buried beneath ample sap. This is impressive and a bit showier than the Clos de Vougeot just now. (Drink starting 2014).
VM 89-92 (3/2006): Medium red. Complex, aromatic nose combines currant and tobacco. Then suave and silky in the mouth, with lovely vinosity and cut. Very pinot in texture but not yet especially complex, conveying an impression of greater minerality and higher acidity than the Clos Vougeot. Today Lachaux prefers the Clos Vougeot. Stephen Tanzer. |

BH 90-92 (1/2006): This too is rather reserved and backward, revealing only glimpses of the dark, spicy and seductively pure pinot fruit aromas that are less evolved and more primary than those of the Pruliers. The concentration and depth of material is a small but important step up, particularly on the mid-palate with its textured, sweet and mouth coating quality as well as the focused and wonderfully persistent finish. As usual, this is most impressive and should age very well yet drink well in the medium term. (Drink starting 2012).
VM 89-91 (3/2006): Medium red. Expressive aromas of cherry, raspberry, minerals and leather. Suave and chewy, with firm but pliant red fruit and mineral flavors lifted by a floral character. This is nicely perfumed in the mouth and conveys an impression of energy. Finishes with good spine and grip, but without any hardness. Still quite youthful. Stephen Tanzer. |

BH 89-91 (1/2006): Here the nose runs to much deeper register aromas of earthy black and violet fruit aromas with a touch of mushroom with richer, gamier and more muscular flavors that are clearly more masculine in basic character as well as less accessible and tighter. There is good overall concentration and a precise, velvety, sweet finish that displays the barest hint of warmth. Drink 2012+. Outstanding!
VM 88-90 (4/2006): Good deep red. Sweet aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and minerals, complicated by sexy oak spices. Densely packed, oaky and sweet, with raspberry and milk chocolate flavors carrying through onto the lingering finish, which features dusty, tactile tannins. |

BH 90-93 (1/2006): Here the nose is ever-so-slightly more elegant with a fruitier and more expressive quality with less earth and more red pinot fruit aromas though all the complexity and perhaps even a touch more. The flavors are classy, fine and wonderfully pure and crafted in a supple and perfectly balanced style that delivers outstanding length and striking intensity. As it usually is, this is a model of refinement and understated grace. (Drink starting 2012).
VM 90-92 (3/2006): Good red-ruby. Reticent, pure aroma of medicinal black cherry. Silky and suave on the palate but a bit more austere and reserved today than the Cailles. Lovely cherry and raspberry fruit is framed by minerality. This mounts slowly and impressively, coating the palate with flavor. When a Nuits-Saint-George wine is velvety like this one is, it's almost invariably Les Saint-Georges. Stephen Tanzer. |

BH 91 (1/2007): An atypically high-toned nose of briar, wood spice and red pinot fruit aromas laced with warm earth and hints of smoke and game lead to sweet, sappy, intense and structured flavors that offer good if not Outstanding concentration yet the power, length, balance and overall punch are most impressive. As it usually is, this is a serious wine though more elegant than normal and finishes with a classically complex and firmly structured backend that is fresh and vibrant. An excellent '04 and recommended. Drink 2011+. Outstanding!
VM 91 (3/2007): Good full medium red. Ripe, sappy aroma of cherry, flowers and minerals. Sweet and sappy in the mouth, with lovely penetrating acidity and noteworthy aromatic lift. A much gentler and less thick style than the 2005 but I love this wine's firm spine of tannins and acids and its inner-mouth tension. Mounts slowly and lingers impressively on the back. |

BH 93 (4/2006): An exotic and spicy nose features raspberry, red current, anise and clove notes that give way to sweet, classy and notably finely detailed flavors that are also relatively forward early but tighten up considerably on the backend. In most vintages, this is the undisputed class of the cellar and while it may ultimately be so once again, in 2004 it has competition. Still, lovely stuff by any standard. Don't miss! Drink 2014+.
VM 92 (4/2006): Medium red. Enticing, highly nuanced nose combines red berries, minerals, brown spices, dried flowers and red licorice, with a hint of medicinal austerity. Silky on entry, then expands on the back half, showing sexy brown spices throughout. Not an obviously sweet style but boasts excellent vinosity and shape and finishes quite long, with fine tannins and lovely clarity.
WS 88 (10/2007): A vegetal aroma gives way to sweet berry fruit, while the frame is elegant and light-weight. The two come together on the firm, lingering finish. A stylish red that should come together soon. Best from 2008 through 2014. 30 cases imported. |

VM 92+ (4/2007): Medium red-ruby color. Sappy, nuanced nose combines red cherry, fresh herbs and minerals. Wonderfully vibrant in the mouth, with sappy, sweet cherry and mineral flavors lifted by a note of cinnamon. This really coats the mouth with dusty extract. Conveys an impression of very even ripening. Finishes with suave tannins and noteworthy energy. This strikes me as very Chambolle in style. This is more harmonious today than the Clos la Roche but will be even better with seven or eight years in the bottle.
BH 92 (1/2007): A more deeply pitched nose of dark and blue berry fruits laced with earth and a lovely and distinct violet note that is followed by very rich, dense and serious flavors that finish with noticeable austerity. As it usually is, this is a powerful wine that possesses huge length and is sufficiently well structured that it will require the better part of a decade to really open up and reveal its full, and considerable, potential. The best of these '04s. Drink 2014+. |

BH 90 (1/2007): (from both Charmes proper and Mazoyères). A seductive mix of wood spice, high-toned red berry fruit aromas and warm earth undertones give way to round, rich and sappy flavors that offer excellent volume and a delicious yet serious finale. There is a bit more structure compared to the Combottes and this too is very pure, balanced, persistent and sweet. Drink 2012+.
VM 88+ (4/2007): Medium red. Very closed on the nose. A bit sullen in the mouth, too, with an autumnal underbrush flavor dominating. Less easy to taste today than the Combottes and distinctly drier. In a tougher style, a bit dusty on the back. One senses the effect of hail here. |

As it always is, this is a wine of evident class with a firm core of tannins yet the entire package is one of grace and harmony. (Drink starting 2011). |

| BH 90 (1/2007): (a 1 ha mix of younger and older vines that average about 50+ years of age). Earthy dark berry fruit and herbal notes introduce flavors that are, not surprisingly, bigger, richer and more structured but not aggressive and there is better buffering mid-palate sap. This is delicious, impeccably well balanced despite the muscle and offers unusually good precision and exceptional length. This is a big wine but fans of it should understand that it is less massively constituted than usual. That said, it is hardly a shrinking violet. Drink 2011+. Outstanding! |

Richebourg Grand Cru |
$750 |

BH 92 (1/2007): This is much like the Beaux-Monts with its cool, reserved and elegant nose of violets, spice and pure plumy dark fruit aromas that complement perfectly the suave, sweet and mouth filling flavors underpinned by buried tannins and huge length. This is a vibrant and very sophisticated wine and like the Echézeaux, the tannins are even more refined than usual with an utterly seductive inner-mouth perfume that is at once seductive and classy. A stunner of a wine that is both serious and classy. Recommended. (Drink starting 2014).
WA 86 (11/2015): The 2004 Richebourg Grand Cru from Grivot was a very controversial wine when opened at the Richebourg tasting in London. It has an extraordinary deep, almost opaque color. The nose is not afflicted by the "green meanies" like so many other 2004s, yet it was almost Bordeaux, Graves-like in personality, as if it did not want to express Burgundy or Pinot Noir characteristics. The palate is dense, rather chewy with black sulky fruit, but marred by bitterness and some astringency on the finish. I much prefer recent vintages from Etienne Grivot that show more class and purity. |

| BH 91 (1/2007): The most refined and elegant wine here with surprisingly forward and expressive red and black pinot fruit aromas and textured, sweet, sappy and nicely concentrated full-bodied flavors supported by a firm but not aggressive tannic spine and excellent length. This is really a lovely example with good overall balance and while it's not a genuinely great Richebourg, it will certainly give much pleasure over the next 15 to 20 years yet drink well early. Drink 2011+. |

BH 92-95 (1/2006): (from vines that abut those of the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti in Richebourg proper). I was actually a bit surprised by just how expressive this wine already is as I was expecting something akin to the grouchier Clos de Vougeot yet the kaleidoscopic nose is breathtaking in its breadth of spicy red and black fruit aromas and notes of leather, tea, earth, iron, wet stone and gamy undertones. The big, muscular, robust and powerful full-bodied flavors offer plenty of intensity yet no lack of elegance and while it can't match the RSV in this regard, there is even more complexity today and more depth of material. Terrific stuff and highly recommended. Drink 2016+. Don't miss!
VM 91-93 (4/2006): Good bright red. Very flatteur on the nose, with almost exotic cherry and Oriental spice notes. Suave and fine-grained but also highly concentrated for the year, despite conveying a light touch. A silky, gently styled wine that also possesses firm acidity and grip. The underlying spine of the wine is easiest to see on the firm finish. In contrast to the Romanee-Saint-Vivant, says Munier, this wine was more masculine, and more musky and gamey, until a few weeks before my visit but now it's more feminine. |

BH 89-92 (1/2006): A discernable but not aggressive touch of wood frames a wonderfully spicy mix of red and black berry fruit aromas and full, sweet and seductively textured medium full flavors that are impressively pure and culminate in a dusty, intense and long finish where the wood again arrives with a bit more prominence than on the nose. Solid quality here and very classy though this may very well always carry a bit of wood influence. (Drink starting 2012).
VM 88-90 (3/2006): Good medium red. Hints of very ripe fruits, chocolate, caramel and sweet oak, along with a peppery element. Sweet and creamy on the front half, then a bit less obviously ripe on the back. But the tannins are easier than those of the Chaumes. Stephen Tanzer. |

BH 89-91 (1/2006): The most elegant wine in the range with a highly expressive and gorgeously pure nose of primarily red cherry and raspberry aromas that are very Chambolle in character that precede precise, minerally and decidedly linear and dusty flavors that are textured and softly chewy on the long and fine finish. Good stuff here and recommended, again particularly for those who gravitate towards wines that are firm yet nuanced. (Drink starting 2011).
VM 87-90 (3/2006): Bright, deep red. Red fruit aromas accented by herbs and pepper. Offers good depth of flavor; in fact, this shows a creamy intensity for young vines, even if it's youthfully closed at the moment. Stephen Tanzer. |

VM 88-91 (3/2006): Medium red. Smoky red fruits and underbrush on the nose. Fat, full and sweet, with flavors of redcurrant and plum. Not more concentrated than the Mitans but possesses a bit more mineral spine. Slightly sauvage suggestions of leather and game. Stephen Tanzer.
BH 87-89 (5/2006): A very gentle touch of wood frames ripe red pinot fruit, earth and background notes of iron and underbrush that introduce very ripe, round and rich medium full flavors that offer good vivacity and punch on the moderately long finish. The tannins do not have a high degree of phenolic ripeness yet there is no trace of astringency or undue dryness. (Drink starting 2010). |

VM 87-90 (3/2006): Medium red. Deeply pitched aromas of cherry, chocolate and underbrush, with a faint peppery nuance. Fat, thick and sweet, with some superripe suggestions to the flavors of plum, redcurrant, raspberry and spices, but also a lightly herbal quality. Impressively round wine with terrific stuffing. Not hugely vibrant but undeniably fat and round, finishing with lush tannins and a note of underbrush. These degenerating vines produced fruit with 15% potential alcohol. This will give pleasure early. Stephen Tanzer.
BH 86-88 (5/2006): A beautifully complex and obvious ripe nose of high-toned red berry fruit infused with obvious minerality merges into earthy, floral and raspberry liqueur-like flavors underpinned by firm and slightly dry tannins that are not quite as ripe. This would probably benefit from being fined. (Drink starting 2009). |

| BH 90 (1/2007): As one would expect, this is a bigger wine that offers a bit more aromatic complexity with attractive floral aromas of violets, earth and cassis that precede racy, edgy and powerful medium full flavors that are direct, indeed even rather linear on the borderline stern and presently austere finish. This is built to age and a wine that I doubt will be overly approachable young and thus moderate patience will be required. (Drink starting 2013). |

VM 93 (4/2007): Medium red. Lovely perfumed nose offers raspberry, rose petal and minerals as well as hints of darker black cherry and blueberry. A distinct step up in density from the foregoing 2004s; silky, scented and almost lush for the year. Compellingly perfumed and vibrant wine. Finishes broad and long, with strikingly sweet tannins and lovely lingering perfume.
BH 92 (1/2007): A strikingly seductive nose of spice, hoisin and anise that adds nuance to the largely black pinot fruit aromas and continue onto the sappy, rich and mouth coating middle weight flavors that possess a bit more mid-palate fat and an explosive, fresh and harmonious finish. I particularly like the transparency here and this is an exceptionally stylish effort that will age gracefully but could actually be approached now with pleasure. Drink 2012+. Outstanding! |

VM 94 (4/2007): Deep red. Classic aromas of small wild red berries, mocha and underbrush. Broad, sweet and deep-particularly impressive in the context of the vintage-without any loss of clarity or aromatic lift. Wonderfully suave, full wine that's also surprisingly tastable today. Finishes with noble tannins, noteworthy sweetness of fruit and terrific lift. This one should probably be laid down for seven or eight years.
BH 93 (3/2008): Not surprisingly, this really hasn't budged much from my initial in-bottle review published in early 2007 and I repeat that review here as it's entirely on track, both in terms of the description but also with respect to its evolution. A simply sublime mix of spicy, elegant, pure and sophisticated red and black fruit aromas that do possess the barest trace of crushed leaf blend into supple, rich and again, extremely pure, indeed crystalline medium full flavors that are restrained and backward but not stern like those of the Bonnes Mares, all wrapped in a vibrant finish of exceptional intensity. This is superbly well focused and almost etches itself into the palate though the tannic spine is well buffered by plenty of mid-palate sap. A complete wine that will also demand a bit of patience. Drink: Try from 2014+ |

WS 90 (3/2007): Bright cherry, raspberry and juniper notes mingle in this rich, supple red. Almost elegant, with a swath of dense yet well-integrated tannins and lively acidity keeping it defined. Best from 2008 through 2016. 2,250 cases made.
BH 89 (3/2008): This reflects the elegance that can be found in Premeaux and the Mugnier touch only adds to this with a nicely complex and aromatically expressive nose that offers detailed and pure aromas of earth, black fruit and plum that dissolve into beautifully complex, refined and balanced flavors that also display ample finishing minerality and better overall phenolic ripeness. A really lovely effort that should age effortlessly and while this presently has a touch of forest floor on the nose, I suspect that it will pass in time. Try from 2012+.
VM 88 (4/2007): Good full red. Ripe aromas of blackberry and black cherry. Juicy and aromatic in the mouth, with more obvious ripeness and texture than the young-vines Clos des Fourches. The perfumed cherry flavor carries through to the floral finish, which features dusty tannins but avoids the dryness of the Clos des Fourches. As with the 2005 version, this strikes me as Nuits in a Chambolle style. |

WS 90 (3/2007): Bright cherry, raspberry and juniper notes mingle in this rich, supple red. Almost elegant, with a swath of dense yet well-integrated tannins and lively acidity keeping it defined. Best from 2008 through 2016. 2,250 cases made.
BH 89 (3/2008): This reflects the elegance that can be found in Premeaux and the Mugnier touch only adds to this with a nicely complex and aromatically expressive nose that offers detailed and pure aromas of earth, black fruit and plum that dissolve into beautifully complex, refined and balanced flavors that also display ample finishing minerality and better overall phenolic ripeness. A really lovely effort that should age effortlessly and while this presently has a touch of forest floor on the nose, I suspect that it will pass in time. Try from 2012+.
VM 88 (4/2007): Good full red. Ripe aromas of blackberry and black cherry. Juicy and aromatic in the mouth, with more obvious ripeness and texture than the young-vines Clos des Fourches. The perfumed cherry flavor carries through to the floral finish, which features dusty tannins but avoids the dryness of the Clos des Fourches. As with the 2005 version, this strikes me as Nuits in a Chambolle style. |

VM 93 (4/2007): Good deep red. Superripe, slightly decadent aromas of red cherry, leather and underbrush. Plush, fat and large-scaled; a full-blown expression of soil, with notes of smoke and game. This boasts extraordinary sweetness for the vintage, remaining just this side of over the top. Just a hint of nut skin on the finish. Very sexy wine.
BH 92 (1/2007): (the aggregate size of this holding is a whopping 3.4 ha and Ponsot is easily the largest holder in Clos de la Roche). A stunningly complex mixture of earthy and animale red and black pinot fruit aromas lead to brooding, intense and jaw droppingly powerful and concentrated, chewy and complex flavors that possess a seriously long finish. There isn't quite the raw depth of the Clos St. Denis at this point but it's a very high quality '04. Drink 2015+. |

VM 91 (6/2020): The 2004 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru from Rossignol-Trapet has one of the best aromatics from among 13 wines tasted from this infamous growing season. No greenness here, just delightful red cherry, crushed strawberry and light white peppery aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins and decent if decayed red fruit. The slightly dry yet still pleasurable finish possesses much more length than Roumier’s Bonnes-Mares tasted alongside. Drink soon. Tasted at Sarah Marsh’s 2003/2004 tasting in London. (Drink between 2020-2030). Neal Martin.
BH 91 (1/2007): An earthy yet elegant and high-toned red pinot fruit nose highlights rich, supple and mineral-driven medium full flavors that are nicely concentrated, pure and impeccably well balanced on the complex and persistent finish. This is quite fine, indeed unusually fine as it matches the Chapelle in this regard yet offers a bit more depth and weight. (Drink starting 2012). |

| BH 92 (1/2007): This is also unusually elegant on the nose with spicy dark and black berry fruit and a hint of herbal aromas that merge into rich, earthy and very pure flavors that offer both wonderful freshness and excellent length that displays a classic touch of Chambertin animale. I like this as it's a lovely combination of intensity, texture and overall purity of expression. I should note that this is less powerful than usual but it's also more refined as well so it's a trade off. Drink 2014+. |

VM 84 (6/2020): The 2004 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru offers light, smudged mulberry and decayed leaf scents on a nose that pales against Christophe Roumier’s other vintages. There is something quite Oriental about the aromas, (hoisin emerges with time) but also the greenness that I remember when I first tasted it from barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannins. Quite a hollow Bonnes-Mares, to be frank, ending in a severely attenuated and raw finish. Tasted at Sarah Marsh’s 2003/2004 tasting in London. Neal Martin.
BH 90 (4/2007): A discreet hint of wood spice frames a potent mix of violet, red and black fruits, earth, herb aromas and hints of game that give way to textured, sappy, firm and intense flavors that are both serious and firmly structured. This will require time to come around though there is reasonably good phenolic ripeness and, in the context of the vintage, solid finishing power and pop. Drink 2012+. |

VM 88 (3/2007): Good medium red. Sappy black cherry and spices on the nose; fruitier now than the village Chambolle. Then fatter and more harmonious on the palate, with good supple, accessible fruit. Tannins are nicely buffered on the lingering, ripe finish. Roumier sought wines with lighter tannins in 2004, carrying out less extraction during vinification: he vinified at a lower temperature than usual and though the cuvaison was as long as usual he did less pigeage. Stephen Tanzer.
BH 88 (1/2007): An earthy and relatively deep nose with better ripeness to the red and dark berry fruit aromas that introduce punchy flavors that are rich, sweet and relatively fine for this cru with a nice touch of finishing minerality on the intense and slightly herbal finish. Good if not truly distinguished quality here. (Drink starting 2010). |

| BH 91-94 (1/2006): Like the Ruchottes compared to the prior wines, this is an immediate and clear step up in quality and breed with a densely fruit and superbly complex nose of spice, earth, ripe red fruit aromas, leather and underbrush that leads to rich, supple, elegant and pure flavors where the structure arrives all at once on the seriously long finish. This is not a big Bèze by the usual Rousseau standards yet the explosive finish and Outstanding depth suggest that this will age well and hold for much longer. Drink 2012+. Don't miss! |

WA 95 (9/2008): Easily the best out of over sixty wines shows at the IMW 2004 Burgundy tasting although I could have predicted that anyway! The bouquet is understated with ripe cherry, raspberry, blueberry and a touch of spice. But what distinguishes it is how natural it is. The palate is full-bodied, very harmonious with beautifully knit tannins. Wild strawberry, red cherry, a hint of cooked meats and orange peel. Completely harmonious and focused towards the crisp but focused finish. A gorgeous 2004 that really shows its class. Tasted February 2007.
VM 88 (8/2021): The 2004 Chambertin Grand Cru from Rousseau has a rather stemmy, slightly mulchy nose, which is expected from this vintage, irrespective of how noble the vineyard or producer. It is nicely defined, with brown spices developing, though here is it predictably dwarfed by the 1996. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip and hints of kirsch, Bing cherry, tobacco and stewed black tea, though I find the finish a little short and bitter. Drink soon. Tasted at Noizé restaurant in London. Neal Martin.
BH 91-94 (1/2006): The difference between Chambertin and Clos de Bèze is sharply etched in 2004 as this is bigger, richer and more powerful though less elegant and with a more limited range of spices specifically and aromatic breadth in general. The medium full flavors are tight, precise and very pure with extraordinarily good punch and precision, all wrapped in a firm, dusty and linear finish. I particularly like the mouth coating quality of the flavors as there is ample dry extract here, which serves to perfectly buffer the firmly tannic spine. Outstanding stuff and while not a truly great Rousseau Chambertin, it's knocking on the door. Drink 2014+. Don't miss! |

BH 93 (1/2007): Cool and reserved with restrained aromas of dark berry fruits, particularly blueberry with spice and earth undertones give way to rich, full and sweet flavors that are muscular and taut though there is currently a lovely suppleness to the mid-palate, which causes this to seem unduly forward yet the finish reminds one that we're drinking Bonnes Mares as it simply explodes with huge amounts of dry extract and solid minerality. This seems to positively drench the palate in extract of dark berries yet this is dry and serious with plenty of structure and this will need 12 to 15 years to really show what the underlying material is capable of. This could very well surprise to the upside as the vibrancy and balance are very impressive. Drink 2016+.
VM 92+ (4/2007): Good bright, dark red. Very pure aromas of briary blueberry and piquant herbs; slightly medicinal in its austerity. Dense, rich and sweet but tightly wound and austere, with dominant flavors of briary black fruits and earth. The most obviously tannic and medicinal of the estate's 2004s at this stage. Millet notes that de Vogue owns "an elegant part" of Bonnes-Mares. This will require extended aging. |
