 | "An absolutely amazing wine, from grapes harvested between the end of September and October 17, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot has close to 15% natural alcohol. It comes from one of the few biodynamic vineyards in Bordeaux, but you are likely to see many more, given the success that Tesseron seems to be having at all levels, both in his vineyards and in his fermentation/winemaking. An astounding, compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross-street neighbor, Mouton-Rothschild, creme de cassis, there are also some violets and other assorted floral notes. The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy, overbearing or astringent. The freshness, laser-like precision, and full-bodied, massive richness and extract are simply remarkable to behold and experience. It is very easy, to become jaded tasting such great wines from a great vintage, but it is really a privilege to taste something as amazing as this. Unfortunately, it needs a good decade of cellaring, and that’s assuming it doesn’t close down over the next few years. This is a 50- to 75-year wine from one of the half-dozen or so most compulsive and obsessive proprietors in all of Bordeaux. Is there anything that proprietor Alfred Tesseron is not doing right? Talk about an estate that is on top of its game! Pontet-Canet’s 2010 is a more structured, tannic and restrained version of their most recent perfect wine, the 2009. Kudos to Pontet-Canet!" 100 points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate  Blend of different grape varieties

 | Picked at optimum ripeness following cool nights in the vineyard, which led to high natural acids and a fresh structure, the palate was immediately perfumed. Almost black in the glass, it nevertheless showed sweet ripe summer fruits and fine, mouthcoating, tannins. A prickly acidity keeps all that structure in place and leads onto a long, rich finish. An excellent performance from this property.- Blend of different grape varieties

| "The 2010 Lynch Bages is an absolutely brilliant wine, and somewhat reminiscent at this stage in its development of the profound 1989. Jean-Charles Cazes, who took over for his father a number of years ago, has produced a magnificent wine with the classic creme de cassis note intermixed with smoke, graphite and spring flowers. It is a massive Lynch Bages, full-bodied and very 1989-ish, with notable power, loads of tannin, and extraordinary concentration and precision. This is not a Lynch Bages to drink in its exuberant youth, but one to hold on to for 5-6 years and drink over the following three decades.

| "inky, bluish/black/purple, with notes of spring flowers, licorice, camphor, graphite, and a boatload of blueberry, black raspberry and blackberry fruit, this is a powerful, full-bodied Troplong Mondot. All the building components of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol are judiciously and impressively integrated. It is a blend of 90% Merlot and the rest equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc made by Christine Valette and her husband Xavier Pariente with the consultancy help of Michel Rolland. I-m not sure what the heady alcohol level is in Troplong Mondot in 2010 (it certainly must be in the 15%+ range), but it is well-concealed behind the extravagant, richness, full-bodied power, and pure nobility of this majestic wine. Forget this for 5-7 years and drink it over the following three decades.
An absolutely stunning wine from this estate, which seems to be on a mission to produce exquisite world-class wines with enormous aging potential, the 2010 is showing better from bottle than it even did from barrel." 99 points, Robert Parker - Blend of different grape varieties

It was certainly showing well when I stopped by the chateau in January. Opaque purple, with loads of charcoal, licorice, incense and some exotic Asian spices along with abundant cassis liqueur, blackberry and hints of roasted coffee and spring flowers, it is full-bodied and opulent, with relatively high tannins, but they have sweetened up considerably and seem less aggressive than they did from barrel. The oak is clearly pushed to the background by the wine’s wealth of fruit, glycerin and full-bodied texture. This sensational Pichon Longueville Baron needs 5-6 years of cellaring, and should keep 30+ years." 97+ points, RObert Parker - Cabernet Sauvignon 79% / Merlot 21%

Fragrant, complex aromatics are followed by a savory, expansively flavored wine made from a final blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. The wine hit 13.5% natural alcohol, which must certainly be among the highest they have ever achieved, even eclipsing the 2009. An opulent, precocious style of wine that seems much more developed, complex and delicious than I thought from barrel, this beauty can be drunk in 5-6 years or cellared for 20 or more.

 | "Deep plum/purple, Haut-Bailly’s 2010 required some coaxing to appreciate its subtle notes of barbecue smoke, lead pencil shavings and creme de cassis as well as its touches of pomegranate and forest floor. The oak is pushed far into the background and the tannins are extremely silky, but the intensity of the wine is profound and the finish lingers for close to 55 seconds. This wine is ripe yet delicate, powerful yet stylish, and essentially resembles a remarkable fashion design from a house of haute couture. This wine needs a good 7-8 years of bottle age and should keep for 40-50+ years. " 98 points, Robert Parker- Blend of different grape varieties

This spectacular effort from Poyferre that should drink well for 30+ years.
Another spectacular wine from the Cuvelier family, Leoville Poyferre (along with Ducru Beaucaillou) may be one of the two best wines of St.-Julien year after year these days. This is a large estate, covering nearly 200 acres, and the final blend of the 2010 Leoville Poyferre is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, a whopping 34% Merlot and the rest 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc." 98+ points, Robert Parker - Blend of different grape varieties

Displaying fabulous density, an inky purple color and a superb nose of forest floor with a hint of menthol as well as loads of creme de cassis, mocha and touches of chocolate and subtle oak, this full-bodied, deep, concentrated wine represents only 45% of the estate’s production. It is certainly not for those who can’t wait a few years for it to round into shape, as I suspect it needs at least 5-8 years of bottle-age, but it should last for half a century or more.

Loads of crushed rock and chalkiness, along with licorice, black truffle, smoked game and black fruits dominate the aromatics and flavor. Backward, formidably endowed, full-bodied and almost atypically massive and huge, with gargantuan extraction, this is a wine for patient connoisseurs to forget about for close to a decade.

This is however supremely elegant, with a vein of minerality adding a refined character to the structure and the tannins, layered and silky-fine. Every element seems perfectly balanced, allowing this to feel incredibly concentrated and dense, without feeling chewy and overblown.

| Blended using 40% of whole bunches (Manou first trialled this technique in 2009, with 30% whole bunches and finds it opens up the aromatics of the wine). From 80-year-old vines, the nose is aromatic and striking, an array of dark bramble fruits, violets and lavender. Tasting the wine at this early stage gives a glimpse of what is to come. It is all there with the fruit, the tannin albeit a little dry at the moment, but that will mellow with ageing. Showing a good balance, with a long finish. Excellent, as always.- Pinot Noir 100%

| While better known for his whites, Jean-Marc's red Chassagne is a tour-de-force of winemaking and a considerable cut-above many Côte-de-Beaune reds. Intensely spicy red fruit notes are immediately evident on the nose, which is open and appealing. On the palate, this shows lovely sappy, ripe fruit and exceptionally fine tannins.

| The highest 1er Cru of the Domaine, 300m above sea level with more argillaceous soil, has produced a wine with a heady yet delicate nose. Freshness is the keyword here, with apple pie and crab-apple notes and a nice touch of smokiness from the 25% new oak used on all Jean-Baptiste's premier crus. The underlying minerality and precise acidity pull all this together to make an excellent wine from the heights of the Côte de Beaune.- Chardonnay 100%

Intricate mineral elements exude from the glass, with the palate fulfilling its promise with a delicious, mouthfilling acidity and full texture. Well-structured and intense, with a super-long finish, this is more than a cut above average.- Chardonnay 100%

Notes of nut oil on the nose lead through to a palate that displays great tension, very concentrated golden fruit and a creamy texture. Precise, with real balance.

| Michel Colin kept his 3 favourite parcels of vines when his 20 hectare estate was divided between his two sons. This one sits next to Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet and produces oily, rich wines with laser like acidity. The 2010 is simply stunning with toasted hazelnut, creamy texture and fresh, citric feel of the vintage. Wonderful 1er Cru Chassagne from a master who is making the best wine of his distinguished career.- Chardonnay 100%

| The 60-year-old vines offer great concentration and complexity in this wine. It has a very perfumed nose of white flowers, citrus and a chalky minerality. Although stylistically lean, the palate has a lovely interplay between citrus and a richer creaminess, where fresh acidity provides a firm structure that leads to a long finish. The 30% new oak is soft and elegant but very fine indeed. - Chardonnay 100%

 | Philippe’s father Michel retired in 2003 and passed his vineyard holdings onto his two sons. Philippe, the elder of the two, is a Chassagne specialist with holdings of 11.5 hectares, the domaine follows the principles of lutte raisonée to maximise vineyard health. The wines receive between 12-15 months in oak and the emphasis is on subtlety rather than power.
From 60-65-year-old vines grown on the Puligny side of the appellation, there are complex aromas of toasted hazelnuts, limes and apple blossom. There is initially a lightness of touch to its mineral driven palate, which fills out on the mid-palate to reveal a complex and multilayered finish.- Chardonnay 100%

 | The youngest vines used for this cuvée are 60-years-old and this old-vine fruit provides a delicious complexity to a tremendous Hermitage. The nose is intensely scented with notes of violet, pepper and damson fruit. These notes carry through onto the palate, where they are framed by fine-grained and supremely ripe tannins and a beautifully-freshening acidity. The finish is long and delicious, with more exotic notes of clove and dark chocolate coming through at the end. Incredibly fine, this should be an unmissable wine for any lover of Northern Rhône and Syrah.

 | Robert Parker, 96-100 points: “The black-colored 2010 Côte Rôtie La Landonne displays notes of charcoal, black truffles, creosote, blackberries, incense, subtle barbecue smoke and hints of espresso as well as white chocolate. This amazingly complex, full-bodied, powerful 2010 will need 7-8 years of cellaring, and should last three decades or more.”- Dry, Red, Still

 | This Syrah grown on granite soil produces a wine endowed with a beguilingly complex and rich nose of cocoa, praline, cherry liqueur and just a hint of maple smoke. Silky and delicate on the palate, this seductive, smooth yet precisely poised Côte-Rôtie is a little like a Chanel suit worn by a smart Parisian: classy and obviously refined, with a flirtatious edge.

| This wine is deeply purple and wonderfully opulent, with inky notes of blue fruit, violets and pepper. The palate is richer still, displaying roasted meat, tar and juicy blackberries, leading to plum, cloves and touch of coal on the finish. This is an incredibly complex wine which retains real finesse and balance; in essence, all the hallmarks of truly great Hermitage in this wonderfully elegant vintage. - Dry, Red, Still

 | Like so many of the whites in this vintage, this is an absolute delight. Made predominantly from Marsanne and just 5% Roussanne, with no new oak utilised and bottled without filtration, the fruit characters are able to sing. Notes of lemon, pear and frangipane are vibrantly evident on the nose and palate. Rich and mouthfilling, but given backbone by zesty acidity and a steely minerality, this is at once appealing, restrained and great.

 | Produced from 101 year old vines, this is a voluptuous, magnificent wine whose creamy and fresh aromatics are delicately balanced with toasty oak nuances and crisp, stony minerality. Peach, quince and citrus blend with honey, beeswax and ginger to create a stunningly refined wine with fabulous weight and a spicy finish. Arguably the best white wine in the Southern Rhone, this will only improve with age. And it’s hard to improve on perfection.

 | From a supreme single vineyard enclave just outside the cuverie in Saint Andelain, this wine is scented with an incredible array of herbal, floral, and citrus fruit notes. An edgy, pithy nature on the mid-palate, alongside the smoky pungency of crushed stones and iodine provide a distinctively mineral complexity. The multifaceted, silken finish is characteristically long and vibrant and indicates there is much more to come with some worthwhile bottle ageing.- Dry, White, Still
