Wine Advocate (93-95)The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Combottes contains around 40% whole bunch this year. It has a very refined bouquet with dark, almost broody black fruit, a touch of cold granite and graphite, austere and yet blessed with exquisite delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with sorbet-like freshness on the entry, here more blue fruit than the Clos de la Bussière with an elegant, poised finish. The word that sprung to mind? Balletic. |

Wine Advocate (92-94)The 2015 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussière, which contains 50% whole bunch fruit, has a clean and precise, almost pixelated bouquet with blackberry, briary and cold limestone scents that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, quite structured in the mouth with filigree and tensile tannin. This is very focused, linear in style, which is surprising given the warmth during the growing season, with great clarity on the finish. This is just a fantastic Morey-Saint-Denis from Christophe Roumier. |

Vinous (88)The 2015 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre has an attractive if slightly obvious bouquet of lime cordial, orange zest and a touch of lychee. The palate is well balanced, with a fine thread of acidity, although like many of its peers, it feels smudged toward the finish and lacks the detail of 2014 or 2017. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Burgundy | 1 | 91 (VN) | $209.00 | |||||
Vinous (91)Full, deep red. A touch of reduction to the very ripe aromas of raspberry, subtle spices and flowers. Creamier and sweeter than the 2016 version but with its pliant red berry, floral and mineral flavors showing lovely energy for 2015. In fact, this broad, pliant, classically dry village wine is not particularly dominated by its vintage and was easy to taste following the 2016s at this address. Finishes with excellent subtle length. |

Burgundy | 1 | 90-92 (WA) | $179.00 | |||||
Wine Advocate (90-92)The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Village, which contains around 20% new oak, has a crisp black cherry and raspberry-scented bouquet, tight at first but fanning out with open arms upon aeration. The palate is just wonderful: super fine tannin, a killer line of acidity, a little crunchiness to the texture, but bestowed with immense purity on the finish. The saline touch completes one of the best village crus that I tasted during my visits. |

Vinous (92)(Roulot's vines are in Charmes-Dessous): Bright, light yellow. Aromas and flavors of peach, apple, pear and spices are enlivened by a rocky quality. A step up in intensity and verve from the Poruzots, showing lovely clarity of fruit and inner-mouth aromatic character but a bit tight in the early going. This has the concentration of low-yielding vines on rich soil but without any heaviness. Spreads out to saturate the palate on the back end, finishing with excellent grip and citrussy lift. |

Burgundy | 1 | 91 (VN) | $410.00 | |||||
Vinous (91)(like the Vireuils and Luchets, this parcel faces northeast): Pale yellow. More citrussy and tight on the nose than the Vireuils. Conveys a sweeter impression but with lovely acidity to give shape and grip to the rich citrus, stone fruit and floral flavors. This tactile, rather gripping wine delivers a strong impression of dry extract. Finishes with a slightly tannic quality and classic dryness. This calls for some bottle aging. |

Burgundy | 1 | 87 (VN) | $1,435.00 | |||||
Vinous (87)The 2015 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is noticeably deeper in color than its peers. The bouquet is quite showy and gregarious, featuring copious black cherry, liquorish and light furniture polish scents. The new oak is too forward for my own preference. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a little drier and more conservative than I hoped, and there is a bitter residue on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Wine Advocate (88)The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Poutures has a generous raspberry coulis and cranberry scented bouquet, a puff of chalk dust in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with an austere entry, a classically styled Pommard that needs a little more flesh and density on the finish. I suspect it would show better with another year in bottle. |

Vinous (93-96)(the crop level here was in the healthy 30-to-35-hectoliters-per-hectare range; entirely destemmed, as with the Chambertin, as Boillot was concerned that the stems were a bit green): Healthy dark red. Reticent, slightly medicinal aromas of cherry, flowers, spices and stone. Compellingly silky, fine-grained wine with terrific punch and lift; more explosive on the palate in the early going than the Clos Vougeot and classier too. Finishes refined and very long, with rather delicate tannins and terrific subtle flavor intensity and lift. This wine aged in 100% new oak but is not marked by the wood. It should enjoy a long life in bottle but there's nothing hard about it today. |

We found the wines in 2015 very easy and forward to taste, with as much focus on freshness as concentration, so there wasn’t a complete break from the 2014s in that sense. The hope is that as the wines mature they will continue to show the balance and classicism they displayed from the barrel. Our expectation is that they will do so and the best wines will live for a very long time with a genuinely satisfying pattern of maturation throughout their life.
