A brooding and quite restrained nose displays very cool, in fact almost cold dark berry fruit aromas that possess the classic Gevrey markers of pungent earth, humus and sauvage nuances. There is superb intensity to the powerful, serious and mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess a taut muscularity on the austere, mouth coating and impressively persistent finish. This should be genuinely outstanding if given the substantial amount of cellar time necessary.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
