Wine Spectator:

–BEAUNE CLOS DES MOUCHES 1ER CRU 2015: Score 94/100

A spicy style, this is also compact and sleek, with dusty tannins framing strawberry, cherry and mineral flavors. Balanced on the fresh side, almost racy in profile, ending in a cascade of fruit and spice. Best from 2020 through 2033.

–BEAUNE GREVES 1ER CRU 2015: Score 93/100

A dense, well-structured version, featuring ripe dark cherry and mulberry fruit, with notes of violet. Balanced on the sinewy side, with a lengthy finish. Best from 2020 through 2035.

–SAVIGNY DOMINODE 1ER CRU 2015: Score 93/100

This polished red delivers black cherry, violet, spice and mineral aromas and flavors. Firm and long, with fine overall balance and a saturated aftertaste of fruit and spice. Best from 2019 through 2033.

-BEAUNE BRESSANDES 1ER CRU 2015: Score 92/100

Raspberry and cherry are the main flavor themes in this taut, dense red, which, though firmly constructed, offers ample sweet fruit to offset its tannins. Best from 2020 through 2035.

–PERNAND VERGELESSES LES VERGELESSES 1ER CRU 2015: Score 92/100

A tightly wound version, this dense red displays cherry, strawberry, earth and chalky stone flavors. Leans to the firm side, remaining fresh and concentrated. Best from 2019 through 2032.

The World of Fine Wine:

–CORTON GRAND CRU 2015: Score 93/100

Aromatically closed. The palate is fresh and wonderfully crunchy, with bright acidity and bouncy, youthful tannins still flexing their sprightly muscles. This will be lovely once it relaxes into itself, with its playful red fruit and tons of charm that hide a taut and serious core of red-cherry fruit and secretive, aromatic glints of elderberry.

-POMMARD 1ER CRU CHARMOTS 2015: Score 92/100

A darkly sumptuous smell of peony and dark cherry on the nose. The texture of starched velvet crunches pleasantly on the tongue. Again there is rounded ripeness held firmly and neatly by structure and freshness. But this is sumptuous and rounded with lovely crunch.

-BEAUNE BRESSANDES 1ER CRU 2015: Score 92/100

A touch of earthy savoriness on the nose, with ripe black cherry. A wonderfully fine-grained but crunchy texture provides a beautiful structure around which the aromas can unfold. Lovely and disarming balance of severity and charm.
