Bourgogne 1994 :
The Vine - Clive Coates - Mai 1996 : Good colour. Fresh, plump, lovely, and fruity. Good style. For reasonably early drinking, but with no sign of weakness. Good fruit. Shows well. From 1998/99.
Wine Spectator - Novembre 1996 : Top scorer : note 80/100. Fresh, grapery and crisp. Simple but attractive, beaming with sharp, citrusy flavors. Light-bodied. Drink now.
Chambolle-Musigny-La Combe d'Orveau 1994:
The Vine - Clive Coates - Mai 1996 : Very good colour. Lovely succulent nose. This has grip and depth and a lot of finesse. Very lovely fruit. Fine for a village Chambolle. Really lovely on the finish. From 2000.
Richebourg 1994 :
The vine - Clive Coates - juin 2004 : Medium full, mature colour. Slightly reduced and sweaty on the nose. But ripe and soft. Medium to medium-full body. This is now ready. Fresh, ample, harmonious and very enjoyable. But it lacks the distinction of a top vintage. Reasonably positive at the end though. The 1992 is much better. Drink soon. 15
The Vine - Clive Coates - Mai 1996 : Fine colour. Profound and rich and aristocratic. Good oak. Full body. Good ripe tannins. Very long grip. Marvellous fruit. This is excellent. Real intensity and depth. Real dimansion. Very, very long. From 2006.
Wine Spectator - Novembre 1996 : Top scorer : note 90/100. Amazing concentration is its trademark. Its slight roasted chestnut, woody notes distract from the otherwise terrific currant, violet and floral character. Full-bodied, it fills the palate. A little tannic on the finish, but we trust this wine.
**** Excellent. On parlera chaque année davantage de ce petit domaine, jusqu'ici le moins connu de la famille Gros, mais qui donne de loin les plus grands vins. Le patrimoine de vignes est remarquable avec l'une des meilleures parcelles de Clos de vougeot, le Grand Maupertuis, qui a sagement conservé ses vieilles vignes, et une jolie vigne en Richebourg, aux Varoilles, qui donne un vin merveilleusement velouté. La qualité globale a décuplé depuis 1990.
Vinum - Decembre 1996 : ***** Schönes, glänzendes, sattes Kirschrot; verführerische Nase, Kirsche und schwarze Schokolade; Ausatz von voller, satterFrucht geprägt, fleischig und saftig im Mund, rassig, frisch und lang, mit reifem, rundem, gut eingebundenem Tannin; eigenständiger, samtener, vollmundiger und doch nicht vordergründiger, ja sogar eleganter, höchst erfreulicher Wein. 2002-2020.
