Robert Parker - (93-95) Points

"The 2012 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Malconsorts, which comes from the Thomas-Moillard two parcels on the upper and lower reaches of the vineyard that were purchased in 2005. It is 100% whole cluster pressed and raised in 50% new oak. It has a beguiling bouquet with brambly red and black fruit, wild mushroom and sous-bois aromas that are intense and yet charming even at this early stage. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Plenty of bay leaf tinged black fruit, super mineralite and a precise, focused finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is just superb."

Antonio Galloni - 95 Points

"(13% alcohol; 60% new oak): Bright medium red. Very ripe aromas of black raspberry, smoky minerality and dried flowers. Plush, highly concentrated, outsized wine, combining grand cru volume with a surprisingly airy texture. Finishes with wonderfully suave tannins that saturate the entire palate and give shape to the wine's fruit. Really outstanding soil-driven depth here."
