Vintus

Premier Cru, Côte de Beaune Red

Beaune “Clos des Avaux”
“Rich, evoking cherry and mineral notes, yet this is elegant and tensile, with fine length and intensity.  Beautiful balance and a long aftertaste of berry, mineral and spice.  Drink now through 2016.” 91 Wine Spectator, April 2007

Pommard “Les Epenots”
“A hint of reduction and more subtle wood notes highlight earthy red berry fruit aromas and rich, full-bodied and robust flavors underpinned by more obvious structure yet the tannins are quite fine on the solidly long finish.” 87-90 Burghound, April 2006

Pommard “Les Rugiens”
Not yet rated, typically a very well-structured wine, with beautiful fruit accented by notes of earthiness.

Volnay “Caillerets”
“Good bright, deep red. Blackberry aroma lifted by a peppery nuance. Sweet and lush in the mouth, with the red fruit flavors perked up by a peppery nuance. Finishes broad, sweet, long and aromatic, with a hint of peppery restraint.” 90 Stephen Tanzer, Mar/Apr 07

Volnay “Clos des Chenes”
“Good full red. Reduced but bright on the nose, with notes of raspberry, minerals and chocolate. Sweet, supple and spicy, with tangy red fruit and mineral flavors of noteworthy purity. This has excellent intensity and cut.” 88-91 Stephen Tanzer, Mar/Apr 2006
