harvests Paul has finally turned the winemaking reins over to his very capable daughter Chantale. While not ponderous in the least, Chatale's 2004 showcases Bouzy's terroir beautifully with its juxtaposition of highly focused Pinot Noir fruit with deep-seated minerality. It is 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay produced only in the very best years from vines averaging 35 years age.

glass of this well-endowed, supple wine. Tannins are sweet and the acidity sufficient to give delineation to the wine. Full-bodied and impressively endowed, it should drink well over the next 10-15 years."
WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS: "Still a bit compact, with blueberry coulis, fig and blackberry paste notes tightly wound, backed by tangy black licorice, singed apple wood and tar on the finish, which features a very sleek structure and a buried iron note. This has good vivacity and should unwind nicely in the cellar. Best from 2015 through 2030." –JM

hazelnut and vanillin oak. Opulent, mouthfilling and seamless, with serious depth to its flavors of mirabelle, fresh peach and spices. Finishes long and aromatic, with palate-staining flavors of peach oil and spicy oak. A particularly large-scaled Batard with surprising subtlety."

and citrus where the latter can also be found on the textured and borderline massive flavors that display absolutely no sense of heaviness on the exceptionally rich finish that drenches and stains the palate. This is a big wine yet there is a firm acid backbone that keeps everything in ideal balance and overall, it's an extremely impressive effort. While the abundant dry extract enables this, like many '05s, to drink with pleasure now, in magnum format I personally would allow for at least another 4 to 5 years of bottle age."

The supple, round and imposingly scaled big-bodied flavors are impressively concentrated and while quite powerful, they are also quite seductively textured before culminating in an explosive yet impeccably well-balanced finish. This is potentially a knockout."

lemon rind suffused nose. There is excellent richness and outstanding size, weight and power to the overtly muscular flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract on the explosively long and palate staining finish. Like the Criots, this is bone dry with genuinely impeccable balance that should allow this to successfully age and improve for 10 to 12 years."
$354.99
Rich floral and fruit aromas with a toasty touch. Full-bodied and complex on the palate, this wine is enveloped with charming fleshiness. Very good ageing potential.

reveal their rich intensity: grilled bread, almond, honey, exotic wood...What is striking is the structure of the wine, its "monumental" grandeur. There is even a touch of tannin that provides an added dimension. A voluptuous finale, seemingly without end, with precious notes of preserved and ripe fruit.".
