Wine Spectator, April 2016-Domaines Devillard

2013 Mercurey 1er Cru Clos du Roi, Château de Chamirey–90pts

“Balance is the key here, uniting all the elements. Sweet black cherry, licorice and spice notes integrate with a smooth texture, bright acidity and polished tannins.  Fine length. Drink now through 2021. 900 cases made.” (May 31, 2016)

2013 Echezeaux Grand Cru, Domaine des Perdrix–91pts

“Blackberry and black currant flavors combine with spicy oak in this broad, assertive red. Firm and dense on the finish, where the fruit and spice notes add tobacco and graphite to the mix.  Best from 2019 through 2029. 340 cases made.” (May 31, 2016)

2013 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Perdrix, Domaine des Perdrix–92pts

“This is dense and tightly coiled, with fine depth to the black cherry aromas and spicy oak clamping down on the fruit flavors for now. Nevertheless, this has length and all the elements to develop into something excellent. Best from 2019 through 2033. 725 cases made.” (May 31, 2016)

2013 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 8 Ouvrees, Domaine des Perdrix–91pts

“Ripe black cherry, violet and spice flavors converge, corralled by the tangy acidity and dense tannins. Warm baking spice details emerge as this winds down languidly on the finish. Best from 2018 through 2032. 140 cases made.” (May 31, 2016)
